Thanks for the replies so far. THE STEPS GO, yes! Those are shots taken pretty much as the truck rolled off the carrier. I have a *lot* of cleaning to do, and a few modifications to make. Like moving the turn signals.
The steps will come off when I change the oil.
To answer some observations: First, no, the paint isn't original, however, the previous owner(s) did have the truck completely taken apart to get it painted. The firewall is that teal, as is every piece of the interior (including the inside of the glove compartment door) and inside the bed, which has some cheap carpeting in it. Believe it or not the truck was originally that "off white" yellow color. It's still listed on the options label.
No, the mirrors also aren't original. I'm not too fond of them, especially as they are very cheap and are rusting. But I'm also not into exposed drill holes in my doors, so they'll be on the truck indefinitely. I imagine that the truck probably had those large mirrors that bolted to the door's pillar, considering it's a camper special, and there's evidence that the truck was used for that at some point. I haven't looked over the doors for putty on the pillars, but I know the doors are very clean, so I'm thinking the truck didn't have mirrors in the stock location. I'll take a look at some point.
The cover stays on the bed unless, or until, I find something better. I may remove it someday, when I get the wood floor and an actual garage to put the truck in.
Those wheels gotta go, I hate them. I might even prefer a set of deep stockers with the chrome hubcaps on the truck in the interim, but I don't like those.
My old '67 C-20 had a set of custom 15's on it, thin up front and very wide in the back. I removed the center caps because they stuck out so far on the front wheel.
For instance:
That's a bit better than these, but they're still wagon wheels.
One of the reasons I want to go with 20's is that they generally look pretty good on trucks, and I'm not planning on lowering this one, so I want to fill up the wheel wells nicely while not doing it with a lot of rubber. That, and I was hoping to find a wheel that would take attention off the massive hubs, front and rear. Make it look a little less like an old, heavy workhorse. Without changing over to 1/2 ton stuff.
I like it original, yes, but I'm hoping to update the appearance a little bit while getting a little more "sport" attitude out of it.
