Here is a fuggly one for ya!

This is a side step that was welded right over the dealer's/gimme steel bumper. Made it easier to load hay onto the 68 longbed stepside.

I don't know if my grandpa made it or had it made for the truck, but we used to ride like fireman, all over the farm.

CPNE, I cant think of any other truck that would work better for plowing. snow & ice doesnt build up on wipers & they stay warm inside.
too bad Detroit cant duplicate these options on newer trucks

Hey cornhoio that is a sweet ride got anymore pic's????

I would like to do that with a 1 ton also. What is the wheel base on that thing? Did you stretch it or someone previous?

Sorry, for the delay in response, I haven't looked at this thread lately. The wheelbase is 187". It was a 157" truck that was stretched 30". I did not do the stretch. It was that like when I bought it. It still turns fairly well for a truck this long. On dirt or grass the front tires almost act like they want to push a little if you have the wheels cut all the way. I guess that's to be expected from a 25 ft long truck! I just would not build it as heavy as this one is if I were you. The bed is constructed of 1/4" X 3" Channel pretty much throughout, and is decked and sided with 1/8" plate. The side metal is framed and held on with 1/4" by 1 1/4" angle. This puppy is a tank. It has 2" spacer blocks under the rear springs, just to make the truck sit level. It weighs 7980# unloaded w/o me in it.

LUV2XCLR8, Thanks! I love it whole lot more myself since I installed those window regulators I got from you!!

Well, they definitely missed out, because are they are some very smooth working regulators. I will have no problem buying from you again if you have anything else I might need!!

Great crew cab! Not to knock it, but, if only they'd used a rectangular, burb third door on just the pass side.;)

International,until recently,built crew-cabs that way.It`s funky,alright.To me,shows the emphasis was on function(get it?funktion)and utility.I like the balance of form & function of our trucks.These are just slightly off-balance to put it nicely.I`d love to own one.
