rolled my stepside project outside the garage today
As many of you know I started building a 67 big block step side over a year ago... I havent touched it in quite some time... too busy with family, work and all the other good stuff that gets thrown at you every day... took a few pics and really got the bug to get back on this project! Here are a few pics.. Im going with an army theme.. Flat green with some old arm art and lettering...

Are those your stock spindles used for wheel chocks! Nice. Trucks looking good! I don't think I have seen an Army themed 67-72, looking forward to seeing it done.

Re: rolled my stepside project outside the garage today
I thought about how the army jeeps were and the speedo is in the center of the dash so I fabbed up this... I originally had 20" steel wheels but would not work with the step side.. too tall.. The cab is a small back window 67...

Re: rolled my stepside project outside the garage today
Sold them on ebay... it would have been really cool but I didn't want to go through the hassle of cuting the fenders apart andd making them taller and wider..

Re: rolled my stepside project outside the garage today
Didn't mean to hi jack your thread. Cool start on your project. I have a speedo out of a 55 like that, (for my half finished for 15 years 55 big window), but I am too lazy to do something cool like you. HAHA

Re: rolled my stepside project outside the garage today
My truck got painted blue at some time. Under the hood,on the cowl, it is still olive green. I think that would be a cool color.

Re: rolled my stepside project outside the garage today
IMHO...your choice of a '67 small window cab with the stepside box is the perfect match since the window is narrow and looks retro just like the box. Good on ya!

Re: rolled my stepside project outside the garage today
I am working on a similar project. What air bags are you running up front? I'm going big block as well and I have heard some bags don’t work as well with the added weight (high PSI)? Cool tail lights, look foward to seeing more!
