Stepside Progress-Front and Rear - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Got the tailgate and chains on today still have to wire the tailights.
Also got the front grille loops on and the front bumper and apron underneath.
Bumper and loops aren't the best but will do till I stumble on some better.
Next I have to get the exhaust fixed and I found out I am missing a coil spring cup on the rear. Sure would have been easier to fix that when it was just the frame. Oh well more of a challege this way!!!!
Looking forward to some better wheels and tires so I can take this thing for a spin.

Thanks guys --- getting there
The boards were finished with Marine spar varnish. I highly recommend this as I have done others with polyurethane and they don't hold up well to the sun and start peeling.
