60-66 Before and After Thread (or Before and Now)

I was surfing on the 67-72 forum and was lurking on the "Before and After" thread. So how about we start up one for our trucks?

My long term project..

What a remarkable transformation. Curious - why are you going back to the fleetside bed, just because you like them better?

That is one part of it. I never thought the stepside bed fit right on that truck. It was just to narrow for me. I am keeping it the same color and I am also thinking about adding body trim.

Since my truck is not finished with the painting yet I figured I'd jump in the puddle with these pics.
