I'll get some more shots this week, I still have to find time to go visit some picture spots.

Nice lookin' truck mine was that color when I first got it. My wife called it turd brown. :hm:

Real nice looking truck! You seem very happy now...BTW did you trade your other one with the dealer? If so, a even trade or some cash with your old truck?

very nice! Damn I hate spokes but those look real good.

Looks good. You couldnt resist??

Looks awesome, I would say you made the right decision. :)

Sweet Truck! I hope that mine looks that good one day....

I think both ways were good decisions ha ha. Stepsides are soooo cool.

looks great! :metal:

Sweet truck! :metal:

Good looking Truck.
Are you planning of changing anything?

Thanks guys....and yes I am planning on changing a few things. I'm buying some polished strips for the bed wood, I'm gonna put some exhaust on, some valve covers, air cleaner and later down the road some 17's and 18's.....the exhaust and the strips are probably the only things that are gonna happen this year.

BabyBlue that's a really sharp truck. I'm glad to see you got what you wanted. No don't drive by the car lot and look at your white truck sitting there all cleaned up. You may regret your trade.... :(

lol...maybe, Mike said that he was gonna fix the white one up a little, play with it and then sell it.....I'm guessing it'll be down at the lot in two months or so. His first vehicle was a 1985 white stepside, so.....only he knows what he's gonna do.

very nice truck BabyBlue, truck is nice and clean! even underneath

nice truck!!!! my 76 GMC is about that low with ralleys.

Nice truck. Pics like these make me want to keep my stepside bed. My wife wants a fleetside back though. It will be about 5 yrs before my truck is that nice though.

Enjoy it, it looks really good.

Nice looking truck Blue. Now do we call you BabyBrown?

oh my god that is a fine truck............ its puttin me in a higher state of mind........ wow that is fine.....

Wow nice truck,
I think it looks tough with the spokes.......

lol, I still got the blazer, it's on hold till I get back from wyotech though....even though its descent old blazer and looks real nice, I need to do a full resto.

And thanks to everyone else for the compliments....this friday I think I'm gonna head down to the boat arena for pictures if it's sunny and I'll snap off a few good looking picks to show you guys.

BTW, I'm not sure I can put 2 1/2 inch exhaust on because of it being so low...I have to look at how much more I can tuck the exhaust up. I was thinking about getting full and true 2 1/2 inch exhaust with an X-pipe and Super 40 Flowmasters. I believe my price is $320. Not sure if I should buy headers or not.....any Idea's???

Damn thats a nice car!!!!
I saved this picture a while back:

What tire combo is that?

thanks

265/50's up front on 15x8's and 295/50's out back with 15x10's

Nice truck! I even dig the color and the wheels, although I would turn the white letters to the inside. It looks like the way they used to fix them up in the late '70s. There's so many guys updating them to the "new" look, that trucks like yours stand out on their own. I think it's awesome, and I wouldn't change hardly anything on it. If that truck doesn't make you want to build a Stepside, I don't know what will.
