Heres my 76 stepside. I have a new cab for it. I have all the parts to do it up right

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds
 

Here's mine; rust free & almost finished. I told Smokedogg he would finish his before mine and I was right. Smokedogg Jr is enjoying his new ride.

I gotta install my distributor, plug wires, hide my fan wires and add oil. I also have new running lights and markers. Paint will be after X-mas. I am trying to decide between a nice classic black or hot rod flatz. I actually learned alot undoing all of the shadetree mods that were put on this truck. That and I am so meticulous about my vehicles running right. I am sure you guys noticed with all my questions.

I recently purchased this lil '81 Stepper. It is an auto with a small block. Has 17" Boyd wheels up front and 18" out back. Back tire is a 295/45/18, and a 255/50/17 up front.

Sdavid,nice truck! So what kind of seats are those and can you provided a picture of the seat from the floor level, so that you can get a longer view of it, etc. You know how we can be when we see something diffirent.:metal::metal:
Nice truck agian!!!

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds
 

Thanks for the compliments. I am not Stacey David, but I always think he might be a long lost cousin. My first name is Stan.

Not sure on the model or brand name of the seat. It is a fold down middle console type, but moves up and back like a solid bench.

Last couple of pics I got of the seat:

The seat will not go back as far as a stock bench will, so I got to look at that closer.

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds
 

I would say that is exactly the kind of seat it is. Looks good, but nothing real fancy. One that you see at the swap meets, traders village, or the shops that sale tons of seats.

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds
 

I guess that's what keeps me from trying harder to score one of these type seats. I always hear they don't go as far back as the stockers, but I need the legroom.

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds
 

Where did you get those trim rings? Would they fit stock rally wheels? I vote for a stock themed blue and white paint job.
