Pics of my '67 long step
1 Attachment(s)
I can't get very good pictures of it 'til I roll it out of the garage, but here's what I can get so far. Nothin' like a rattle can primer job in the garage - I did take everything down to metal first :)
Will post the before & after pics once I get it fully primered. |

Here's the interior that I have to work with...

Nice to see a LWB stepside , I have a 67 too. How many more out there.
|
cool
I just love those long stepsides. i want to put a long step on my 3/4 ton '72. Many think they are ugly. Me, I find beauty in the odd. (My wife is the exception)
|
is that the original bumper?
|
Toy: I've seen a lot of trucks that used to be long steps, but were shortened or had a fleet put on 'em. I haven't seen more than a half a dozen long steps, but I know more are out there. Still haven't seen more than 1 or 2 that were fixed up.
Blue: That bumper is a dealer installed option that was designed for farmers and such. Heavy steel and skid plate steps. It's almost identical to the one that I had on my '54 long step and they were from opposite ends of the country so I know there is more out there. |
I thought I was one of the few who loved this.

I used to really hate longsteps, but now they have kinda grown on me. I saw a really sweet one the other day, it was about a '69 C/10 longstep, look like it was restored, it had black paint, wide wheels in the back, and a 350 under the hood. It looked just as good, if not better than a short step.
|
I'm sorry, I can't get the picture to load on the message. Wish I could show you guys my home made wood bed kit.

I've got one too. Seeing your pic reminded me of mine when I got it in 1988 -- mine may have been worse though -- no working 1st & reverse gears, horrible paint, ugly bumpers, rusty trashy interior (holes in floor & other places), broken seat . . . Now it needs a second overhawl and I'm slowly getting to it and doing some dream engine work too (keepin the 6). Will try to scan a few pics for y'all. These long trucks are lots of fun and great for hayrides and such. I think I had 19 people in the back once!
Glad to see others who like these rare beauties. Can't wait to see your finished product. Please post the pics. Thanx. Mike |
cool! Love those long steps! any big plans for it yet? what kind of goodies dose it have?
|
Doesn't have much for goodies: 250 straight 6, 4 spd, w/ no power anything. Only plans so far is to stop the rust, primer it and get it back on the road. We'll see where we go after that.
|
I am a longsteper to, I especially like the looks of one with the small window cab, and I would love to find one of those wraparound rear bumpers, I know mine came with one because I have the holes in the fenders and the outline of it is still there but the bumper is long gone.
|
Blazerman , I have a good rape around bumper , it's jest a little different than this , only thing it's now in Ohio!
|
My Boys Toy, in what way is it different, can you get any pics of it.
|
Blazerman the bumper looks about the same except the center section , the width of the tailgate is recessed in about 4" , alowing the tailgate hang straight down. it's to dark to take a photo tonight , I'll Post it tomorrow night.

Wow, I'm late chiming in on this one. Gotta love them longsteps! "Beauty in the odd" --well said. The fact that they're a thing of the past (as well as true stepsides) is why I like them, too.
|
there was a long step for sale just up the street from me a couple of weeks ago but it must be sold i havent seen it in a while it was the first one i have ever seen aside from pictures it was pretty solid for around here too. I quess if i was thinking i could have posted it up here maybe some one could have gotten some good use out of it.. OH well maybe next time
