What's the wheel base of the 9' stepside? I think it's 133", I just want to be sure. Thanks

133" wheelbase is correct. Plus it will have four stake pockets on each side. The bed steps are also model specific.

My neighbor across the street has a '59 Chevy about the same color. Awesome restoration. It's an inline 6 with with no oil filter, three on the tree. The granddad used it for his gardening business; bought it new in 1958. I'd love to buy it for truck use, in spite of the new paint. "Big Orange", my wife wants to keep as a camper. I'd love to knock that rotten shell off it and get a back window in it. I can haul 8' lumber no problem in that long bed.

These are simply C/30 pickups. Of course they are Stepsides and Fendersides,but until the Longhorn was introduced they were the "only" C/30 pickup,just like all GM pickups prior to '58 (except Cameos and Suburban Carriers). So,in '67 if you said C/30 pickup it automatically meant Stepside.
