Re: Project: Shadow Dad's '69 Stepside

Now for the fum part. Took the broken mirrors off and found this underneath. P7lled out the buffing ball and went to town. Not bad you don't say?



since purchasing the truck I searched high and low for stepside bed as far as New York as south as South Carolina all the way over to Kentucky and I just could not find one. Turns out there were two of them and an hour away from me. Well only knew of one, but I made a deal and bought both of them. Couldn't resist lol.





Time to yank the fenders....here's why


Taking them to the metal guy for him to fix the fenders. besides the fenders the bed is in overall very good shape.

and of course every single bolt holding the fenders and steps all stripped like soft pudding so we had to fold to Grinder route.





that's it for now. Next time I'm at my buddies garage I plan on pulling the old wood off and checking out the cross braces. They look like they're in good shape just surface rust. Once we get his compressor fixed we are going to blast the bed and get it ready for primer.

plan is to get the bed ready to go for paint by the time I get the cab corners redone on the truck from my buddy since they don't exactly line up with the doors. I hope to be able to update this as soon as possible because that means progress is getting done. Thanks for looking!
