Re: 70 Short Stepside

Very nice. Love those steppers.

Re: 70 Short Stepside

Started as a really nice truck, cant wait to see it back on the road!

Re: 70 Short Stepside

Thanks guys. I finally got my power steering worked out. New pulley solved the problem. Tomorrow afternoon the weather is supposed to be nice, so I plan to get the cab primed

Re: 70 Short Stepside

Even though I didnt ask ,thanks for posting those pics of the power steering setup as I have been trying to figure out how it mounts on a 6 cylinder .Im planning to do that to my 74 and its fits in that location.

Re: 70 Short Stepside

Thanks for watching my progress and for the encouragement.

Re: 70 Short Stepside

Watching everyone else's build is what has helped me deal with mine being in the bodyshop the last almost 3 years and I learn from you all .

Re: 70 Short Stepside

Got started on cab repair. Needs inner and outer rockers,cab corners, cab supports, kick panels.

Re: 70 Short Stepside

Can someone tell me the purpose of the bolts at the front and back of inner rocker to the cab supports. Were they there originally to hold things together for alignment. I can't see any purpose for them now if everything is welded together.

Nice build...glad you kept the L6

Re: 70 Short Stepside

Killer build. Love the 70 model of these trucks the best. Subscribed...

Re: 70 Short Stepside

Rich, I am going to go ahead and use the bolts, peace of mind. I like the 6. Staying original for the most part

Mcbassin, thanks.
