My 69 Chevy stepper
 

This is a picture of my truck I bought about twenty years ago. I bought it from a little old lady I did yard work for. It was her husbands truck, completely stock had the six cylinder and the three on the tree. That was the first thing to go. Any way he pasted that summer, He was such a nice old man. I asked his wife if she wanted to sell his truck. She told me I could have it for $150.00 I couldn't get to the bank fast enough. I drove it home and the very first thing was to put hurst shifter on the floor. Then came the tires and mag rims. I drove it for the next five years without doing to much to it. Then I put a 350 in it and drove the hell out of it, man I could light the tires in all three gears. Then it got parked, not forgotten I had a dream to make it very cool. I started buying parts every time taxes came, I bought the lowering kit from Cpp. Went with five lug disc on the front drop spindles and five lug rear end. I bought parts and put them on a shelf. Then about three years ago my grandson started showing interest in cars he was twelve then. So we pulled the truck into my shop and started to take it apart. It was not long after that they moved to New Jersey. So it sat there for about a year in pieces. About four months ago I bought almost every thing I need to put it together. So her we go.......

This was the easiest way I could get the cab off.

Re: My 69 Chevy stepper
 

This is where I'm at now. Got this done last night ran the stainless steel brake lines on the rear end. I bought the complete kit from LMC. Got the shocks on. :chevy:

Re: My 69 Chevy stepper
 

Got the gas tank in.

Wow I tell you there is not much more that pisses me off than to live in a town that has nothing. We have a napa that never has any thing you need or they don't seem to want to help. We have a car quest, it's better but not by much. I order most every thing off line, but hate waiting and making sure its the right part. Any way I went to buy the coupler on the rear brake line with no luck at all. I can't use the old on, like I would even if I could. So I will search the net, I will get the braided line that runs to the frame.:waah::waah:

Re: My 69 Chevy stepper
 

cool truck! what wheel/tire combo you going with?

Re: My 69 Chevy stepper
 

The Tee for the rear brake hose comes attached to the hose or atleast it did on the hose I ordered, you will need to order the year hose for what ever year brake lines you ordered because the hose will be a different length depending on the year.

Re: My 69 Chevy stepper
 

That's a good question I won't know until I get some weight back on the truck to see how low it is. The front is supposed to be 1 1/2 drop spindle with 1" drop spring. The rear is 4" drop. The tires you see on it are 18" the tires in the back ground picture are 15". I won't know for a while......

Re: My 69 Chevy stepper
 

I'm probably going to custom make something so I can have the nice braided line.

Re: My 69 Chevy stepper
 

Love it. Keep the pics coming! Is that an LMC fuel tank relocation kit also??

Re: My 69 Chevy stepper
 

Yes that is from LMC, very happy with the way it bolted right up. I'm not going to use the straps they only go side to side. The fill tube lines perfect with my board..

Re: My 69 Chevy stepper
 

This is the gas cap I'm going use.

Re: My 69 Chevy stepper
 

nice build so far

Re: My 69 Chevy stepper
 

Sweet. Must order! ;)

Re: My 69 Chevy stepper
 

This will be fun! I'm glad to watch.

Re: My 69 Chevy stepper
 

Started work on my engine.

Re: My 69 Chevy stepper
 

Very nice project. I'm going to follow along. Looks like a solid truck to start with.

Re: My 69 Chevy stepper
 

I am having a difficult time figuring the year of the engine in my truck. When I put it in the truck way back when I didn't care it was a 350 and it made it go fast, and I was young and didn't care. I done some research on line with little luck. Any help would be appreciated. ;)

Re: My 69 Chevy stepper
 

Got some parts from inline tube today, so I started running my stainless steel brake lines.:chevy::chevy:

Re: My 69 Chevy stepper
 

This is what I've got done on the front brakes so far.:chevy:

Re: My 69 Chevy stepper
 

I love getting parts from jegs. I haven't got a lot done last week and this week looks about the same, I do have a three day weekend coming up:metal:.

Re: My 69 Chevy stepper
 

Didn't get a lot done this week, I thought I would over the weekend but the wife got sick. And I was left to watch the kids, I did how ever sneak out today for about two hours while the baby slept. I got my rear brake line from in line on Friday. I have to make a bracket so I can mount my T. I would cut off the tab a weld a new one on but I haven't bought my welder yet. Anyway the wrench is a temporary fix.
