I am trying to get a 'feel' for these odd trucks. I just recently got one w/ 292 and 4spd. Dont know whether to change the bed to a fleet or not. Thanks

A stock C/20 I had handy...

72gord · 12-29-2007, 03:45 AM

Here is one I put together back in the late 80's

**special-K** · 12-29-2007, 04:55 AM

Man those longbeds sure are short!

Three of them aren`t even Stepsides.They`re Sportsides.That`s what GM started calling them in`88 when they stopped production of the last Stepsides.The last longbeds where a few years earlier.

That is what I was thinking, things look kind of short from here!

A true gem!!

Hey,sorry Frenchblue72.Didn`t mean to make a big deal out of it.I`ve done my share of "DOH!"s.I think when we see "Stepside" we think shortbed out of habit.

manimal · 12-30-2007, 05:22 AM

LawMan, I LOVE your truck! special-K, Thanks for the pics, I really like the last one.

cmacky · 12-30-2007, 06:51 AM

Here is mine. 1967 C10.(Blue) I have not done anything to it yet. I plan to start working on it soon. I going to keep the long stepside bed on mine.
I also found a few from the internet.

TruckinDaddy · 12-30-2007, 07:00 AM

I have one, but the long step bed was totally trashed, so it is dressed up like a long fleetside right now.

I can't complain aobut it though, since I swapped 2 cases of beer for the decent fleetside bed.

manimal · 12-30-2007, 10:47 AM

I am liking all the pics so far. Keep 'em comin if ya got 'em. Thanks

bowtiedriver2 · 12-30-2007, 08:54 PM

Here is my beat up pickup. It is going to be quite the project. Runs good but looks like hell. doesn't stop to well right now either.

**special-K** · 12-31-2007, 01:34 AM

I really like these.Dare to be different,I say.If a guy wants a Fleetside there`s plenty to have.I have a long Stepper laying around to throw on a K/20 someday.
Cmacky,I really like yours just as it is.

68,69 K20 · 12-31-2007, 04:32 AM

Does rusty and crappy looking count? If so, here is my 68

BLAZERMAN · 01-01-2008, 08:47 AM

Heres a pic of my old longstep..and another of how it should have been built.

I like your truck allot. I think the LBS Sides suit the look. Very nice.

esll.

bowtiedriver2 · 01-03-2008, 08:15 PM

I own one of these things and it is the only one I had seen before registering here. So, I gotta ask, how many of these things were made? Does anyone have production numbers by year? I am kinda curious how many LWB step sides were made in '69.

**El Jay** · 01-03-2008, 10:11 PM

Well, my friend, here's me & mine. I hope the pics come thru.
It ain't nothing but a daily driver & a workhorse.
It was origianlly built for the Forest Service (so says the build sheet).
When my son bought it, it was a 292/4 spd. After he beat the valve seats into the head (not really his fault, more like an leaded engine in a unleaded world) we rebuilt a 350, now 357, that I just happened to have in the garage.
Later he converted the 350/4 speed to 350/350. I bought it when he moved outta state.
They don't seem to be real rare around here. Hell, except for the wheels, there's a twin to this thing roaming around my part of the county.
I like mine, just because it's a "little" bit different, but certainly exotic.

Oh, yeah. To the best of my knowledge, ain't none of these things w/ factory type brakes stops worth a damn.

I guess I've rambled long enough.

**El Jay** · 01-03-2008, 10:18 PM

Oooops!
In one part of my post, that should have read, "certainly NOT exotic"

**special-K** · 01-04-2008, 01:14 AM

Exotic is in the eye of the beholder

.I sure like`em just for being good ole pickemups.
