[chev74]

GO FOR IT!!!!!!! my dad has a 73 step that his dad bought new in 73, ordered it with 3/4 ton suspension and a 3 on the tree... used it all over the farm.

Cool thing is that my dad drove it in high school when he dated my mom, and had recently (3 or 4 years ago) bought it from his dad and is restoring it. LOTS of work.

As far as what to look for:

cab floor, front fenders that always catch water, bed floor, etc. all the usual stuff. I dont really think that the rear fenders caught much water, but more so than the fleetseide fenders did.

Now i have a 74 that will kick his 73s @$$
