68Stepbed · 01-08-2009, 09:10 AM

Good show, old chap.

That's cool man. Wish I could find a 68 stepside like that. The closest I've seen so far is the Hot Wheels version.

Wellllll...I took the Circuit Rider to the body shop last Jan. 08 for a face lift. It looked like the pics below...

The original 402BB. Yum Yum.

Now it looks like this...

The cab and the 402BB is now back on the frame.

So my Christmas present last year is a gift that continue to give. Some day it will look purdy like a lot of the other fine trucks on this site. Another 2-3 months and the Circuit Rider will be home.

**special-K** · 01-08-2009, 10:17 AM

I got project "Poor Boy" a 3.42:1 gear set.

Another 2-3 months and the Circuit Rider will be home.

Ya think?

Nah,I`m sure you`re right.It`s just fun to knock people with trucks tied up in restoration orever.Then,it`s payback when they have something nicer than any other.Your time is coming.

Awe man.....you should have left that patina beauty alone!!!

Dingfodgy · 01-08-2009, 03:24 PM

My "Bundle of Joy" got the livin' bejeezus hacked out of her! Started shaving the drip rail, cut out the rockers (inner and outer), cut off the bad bottom of the A-pillar, cut out the rotten cab corners, removed rear window and began the fab work for a powered roll-down version, welded up some holes from the PO's gun rack. Other than that- not much!

72highlander · 01-08-2009, 03:56 PM

i got mine $25 in gas and actually got out and drove her, used it to haul some metal grating and enjoyed it so much i used her daily for a few.

Yeah I know it's a 72 fleet. I'm saying I wish I could find a 1:24 or 1:18 scale 68 stepper. I hope I'm still loved.

As far as getting my truck anything, I did order a power steering return line from ECE for mine. I thought I was gonna have to order a new power steering box, but found out the steel return line was rubbing the inner fender and had bent it and broke at the flange. I feel better it was a $20 fix instead of $150.

jholley · 01-08-2009, 05:19 PM

I built mine this sweet cab dolly so now the real body work can begin.

BigDaddyDave · 01-08-2009, 05:19 PM

Mine got an oil change,a tank of gas,and that was her Christmas.

I would dearly love to do one of those major resto's, but I hate the idea of it being laid up......she's lookin good 70cst.
