I'm hoping to find a rear fender without the cutout to replace that one. I ordered a 2/4 drop today to put on it. That's about all I have planned for now.

I had to have a stepside, when I was searching for my truck, but it had to have a sidemount spare. I even had a tire-mount fender & bracket spotted, on a junkyard special, just in case the truck I ended up with was one without the sidemount.

Sidemounts forever !!!!!

stllookn · 07-15-2009, 06:29 PM

Buy another fender and just change back and forth as it suits you!

JohnC · 07-16-2009, 08:01 AM

That's a good solution. More work than most people would want to do, but a good idea.

71HUGGER396 · 07-16-2009, 08:48 AM

That's what I'm going to do. Just like the radio delete, it came without a radio so I have another cowl to use. I'm going to put a drop of 2/4 with springs. Anything I do will be easy returned to original. I'll be keeping all the stuff I take off of it.

faribran · 07-16-2009, 08:54 AM

i vote to KEEP the side spare mount my 67 has this..... ITS A KEEPER

bw4sale · 07-16-2009, 09:04 AM

Very nice score. I'd love to have one that nice.

monte0185 · 07-16-2009, 09:48 AM

Congrats on the 50th!!! Great buy!! I dont hate you! I envy you!!!

fun in dirt · 07-16-2009, 12:03 PM

VERY NICE!
I vote for not painting it (but it is your truck). I would even go as far as painting the tailgate the gold again & then put a flat clear on it to match the rest.

Found this while searching 50th trucks. What a great truck! Do you still have it? How did the 2/4 drop work out? If you have pics lets see them!

Longhorn Man · 01-23-2011, 12:52 PM

67chevy1series · 01-23-2011, 01:53 PM

Longhorn Man · 01-23-2011, 03:47 PM

67chevy1series · 01-23-2011, 04:10 PM

i was syin that becase i thought you guys were joking about it being a 50th then i posted and then looked at the 2cnd page and seen the spid and the 50th paint code

Longhorn Man · 01-23-2011, 07:32 PM

yep, it's the real deal. Only verified one I have ever seen proof of.

71HUGGER396 · 01-25-2011, 05:28 PM

I'm still around guys, but I was working 7 days a week for the last 9 months. Finally got back to 5 days 2 weeks ago. I did put the 2/4 drop, but I don't have pics yet. As soon as spring gets here I'll take some pics and post them.

RCbowtie69 · 01-25-2011, 06:29 PM

great buy

cypressbog · 06-01-2015, 03:09 PM

Gotta bring this back TTT. I've got a 68 longbed stepside that I just got a set of buddy buckets for. The buckets looked gold in the garage light last night and I started to think about making mine a 50th tribute truck.

68Gold/white · 06-02-2015, 07:18 AM

I have GOT to get to working on mine!!!

71HUGGER396 · 06-02-2015, 04:35 PM

I got the seats done!!!!!

**michael bustamante** · 06-02-2015, 05:31 PM

those seats came out gorgeous!! but you gotta put a spare back on and cover it with a vinyl cover. maybe your boy would like that

68 P.O.S. · 06-02-2015, 11:00 PM
