still working on our 70 short step, its slowed down to a crawl at the moment with the holidays and the colder weather. i got the bed media blasted and ended up with a repop front panel and a tailgate. got the bed all finished in kirker hot rod black. after all the trouble i wish i could have talked dad into going with a base/clear but he wanted the satin look so thats what we got. got one front fender blasted and painted as well. my blaster had it up in his attic and it was a rust free gm part so that worked out good. got the dash finished with some aftermarket gauges i put into the original 3 hole dash where the factory gauges would go. turned out pretty good. found a rustfree rear trailing arm and blasted and painted it as well. got some poly bushings ive yet to install in them. rewired the interior harness,mounted up some monte carlo ss grey leather seats and got a new grant wheel to install. bought some new 6 lug mags off ebay for a great deal and had some bfg's mounted up. prolly not my first choice of wheels but couldnt go wrong for the money, so they will do the trick. did some trading and got a rpm intake and a holley carb to replace the stocker stuff and a sweet set of vintage aluminum valve covers. got a nice power steering setup to install and a power brake assembly as well. hope to get the cab down to the blaster after the new year and get the inner/outer rockers and a couple cab mounts replaced. got a nice set of rustfree doors that i need to start on as well as the hood and the other fender. also picked up a nice grill assembly that is better than the 2 that came with truck but im not sure if its a 69 or 70? either way i think it will fit. i guess thats about it for now! man i gotta long way to go on this lil truck. sorry for the book,dont mean to ramble, but NO i havent given up!
