Thanks. It will be a long road, but worth it in the end.

Wow, you have a unique truck there. Factory Super Cheyenne short bed 4x4, bucket seats, tilt, etc.. and "Cab lights". First one I seen like that, cool! The original dark olive/white will look super sharp!

Thank you. It is a bit unique with the options and cab lights. I haven't seen many 1/2 ton short beds with them. When it is restored to the original colors and trim, it will be a sharp truck! Thanks again.

[Chevyland]

Yes. That will be one killer truck. I have never seen one with all those options. In a shortbed 4x4

This truck was my second choice after Undertaker72's. Haha you literally beat me to it by one day. I was gonna call him to confirm buying it the day you posted your thread. My wife is from Sheridan, WY and wanted that truck because her family has dealt with Ed Hammer forever. This truck was Not a bad second choice though!

[jocko]

Not a bad choice at all... That's an awesome SPID. Truck looks like it's in really good condition. Hope you start a build thread on it someday!

I'm glad you had a backup plan!
And a good one at that.
How many times do you miss one super only to have a higher optioned one in the wings?
I'll be leaving this one alone.
Maybe a good buffing and rockers, but that is about it

Just put a quadrajet back on, which performs much better than old edlebrock
And went back to original rims with full wheel covers

Fish were biting, people surfing behind boats, there were guys jumping off rock cliffs . I got to see all this from my easy chair in the shade. fun fun fun. take care, steve

Here's our's

Welcome Bobbed. Thanks for sharing. As there were no 3/4 ton swb trucks, interested in the truck's evolution. Got a SPID? VIN? Either a prev owner added some emblems or perhaps it's a shortened 3/4 with an axle swap (unlikely, lotsa work), or one of many different approaches to ending up with a swb 3/4 ton. Could be as simple as a real swb 1/2 ton truck that has had 3/4 ton emblems added. Thanks again, looking forward to hearing more on this truck - looks good btw.

I figured a good eye would catch the discrepancies and was waiting for this response.

I ran the VIN it's a C20. Previous owner had it shortened and the running gear converted. Rear axle is off a c10 with coil springs but converted to leaf. Seller advertised it as a C10 but when I saw the emblem I ran the VIN.

[Bobbed72]

Here's the SPID.

[Chevyland]

Where's the top part
With the vin?

[sircrunch]

In this thread there are a few stepsides...... I've been doing some research and I came across some information that many people were under the impression that if you ordered a stepside you couldn't get side trim. Others said YES you COULD get side trim, very uncommon, but it stopped at the back of the cab and didn't continue back onto the bed. Some said it looked good, others didn't care for the look. Ok, with that being said, I'm surprised to see these highly optioned trucks with stepside beds did not come with any side trim. Anybody have info on side trim steppers? And, someone said something earlier in this thread about a D99 stripe option for stepside. What is that?

[jocko]

D99 is the upper paint stripe, it's not exclusive to steppers, could be ordered on fleets also. It's just a pinstripe approx where the upper trim strip goes.

Jocko, do you know if the stripe extended onto the stepside bed? Would also love to hear some chime in on the stepside trim mystery

The paint stripe did not extend to the bed. And 69-72 step sides never had any side moldings.

Is it necessary?

[Chevyland]

Only that the first several digits will identify if it is a 1/2 or 3/4 ton
And if it matches with the vin plate inside the door
It will tell you what the truck originally
Edit
Sorry about that
I looked back at your post.
And saw you already knew what it was
My bad

[jocko]

Model # CE20934 on SPID ID's it as a V8 C20 which also means it's a long bed as there were no swb 3/4 tons (well, originally... )

[AASmedic]

Here is one for the board. Mine was originally a Colorado farm truck. Numbers matching power train, body panels and components.
