I was getting ready to redo the bed when I was in a wreck with it. I was not my fault. I had to start all over again.

One of my favorite step sides! I even like it when it was BROWN. Where are you located in Missouri?

Slick ride, man! I knew a guy in NC who built one similar to that, only it had a GMC cab, grille, and interior mated to a Chevy bed and wheels- truly a "GM" truck. He had a 289 and a 3-spd. manual in it. A fun little ride!
