whhaaaatt.......... how could you

short steps are better and not as many around from what i have seen, and the only way i would own a shortbed is if it was a 67 step side, small window preferrably

just sayin haha, it is still a nice ride though either way

David67 · 06-29-2011, 01:50 AM

^^^project 67 sub knows what he's talking about. 67 small window stepsides are the way to go

*project 67 sub* · 06-29-2011, 02:24 AM

^^that reminds me... when i was in high school, on my route i used to walk or ride a bike on on the way home, their was a 67 small window stepside that i always wanted to buy that was parked behind a chain link fence for years. never could find out anything about it or whos it was. heck i wouldn't be supprised if it may still even be their

but.... no money, a place to put it, the funds to work on it, or finding out who it belongs to

**special-K** · 06-29-2011, 08:06 AM

Back in the '70s the west coast was busting at the seams with "California Stepsides". They were the rage. Today the trend favors Fleetsides. I like them both,always have.

First it was the California Condor heading for extinction. What next? The California Stepside?????

**70cst** · 06-29-2011, 08:17 AM

One small step for C/10 King but one large step for the "Fleet Side" world.

prostreetC-10 · 06-29-2011, 09:43 AM

I could see it if it was a project and not to the stage that red truck is. I love the dull satin look to that paint. If you have the bed, which is the hard part, find another truck and make it a short wide.

You should see that "satin" red paint up close. It is a really bad Earl Shieb special that has more runs in it than a kindergarden class. It was shiny...once.

The plan is to get the bed into shape and stripped. Paint the whole truck semi-gloss black.

BTW the truck has a 6.0 LQ4/4L80E waiting for it in my garage.

So, does he want to give me his stepside bed now that he has no need for it ?

**RenoKeene** · 06-29-2011, 10:22 AM

I'm going the other way...fleet to step.
Stepside screams pure hotrod to me.

19seventeeCustom · 06-29-2011, 10:26 AM

Way to go c-10/king

I like both styles, but prefer the short fleet.......

btw, any updated pics of the blue/white truck?

406 Q-ship · 06-29-2011, 03:32 PM

Hey thats my truck!! I got to see Rene's fleet (he said fleet) of pickups. He has an great place and is one hell of a nice guy. I really liked Sancho Plumbing GMC. Yes I am turning my back on the stepper crowd, but know this it was not an easy decision. The step bed on my truck is goregous with a extremely nice wood floor in it, but in these trucks I like the fleetside that much better. I will need to find a home for the bed once I make the change over, I will not let my stepside bed get thrown away.

I got the Fleetside bed blown apart yesterday, more for storing and working on than anything. For the most part it came apart easy, except where someone had welded the rear bed support to the bed sides

I will be working on the dents next.

Rene, we really liked the meat market you suggested.......mmmmmm carnitas burrito.

Again to the stepside fans, it is not a dislike to steps but a bigger love of fleets in this model year. My 1974 C10 will be a stepside as long as it is mine (well in my family...Dad is the current owner). It is still a 67!

David67 · 06-29-2011, 04:18 PM

I will say that I like big windows better with fleets. But if it's a 67 small window...I've gotta go with a stepside.

Don't feel bad steppers!

That's two (fleet to step) to one (step to fleet); I also went from short fleet to short step.

*project 67 sub* · 06-29-2011, 06:29 PM

if i had a short fleet............ i would make it a short step

sleepertruck72 · 06-29-2011, 06:49 PM

Congrats 406 Q-Ship, that fleetside bed will look nice

The stepsides have their charm as well, but Im with the fleetside look. That LQ4 should be nice to put around with. Are you keeping the engine stock ? Do you have a build thread ?

C/10 King,
Where do you get all these short fleet beds ? I guess its better we dont know

BTW, I was at the Santa Fe Springs swap meet and I seen your Sancho Plumbing Service brand on T-shirts for sale, dang you get around

I have not done a build thread on the engine transplant yet. I don't want to start a thread and get sidetracked, then it will take me a long time to get back to it.

I'll take two shots for the stepper crowd!
