Got the bed off the GMC for Mike Files:

Here's the stepside I'm putting on:

Put the 4" lift rear springs on the GMC:

And a shot of the 71: Actually had the drive way graded today and widened the drive to my detached garage from 16 to 32 feet on Saturday.

Looking good Jim. Be interesting to see a long step 4x4, or as my boy is calling it an old monster truck.

I think you should go one step further on the 70 and take the cab off and bring it to me in Richmond. My cab is in SAD shape. Anyone's cab with any rust is bound to be less than mine has.

That little guy has all ready laid claim to the GMC and my 10 yr old wants the Chevy, and what will dad drive? I'll have to have something bigger than the boys.

I thought I'd seen you posted something not to long ago about that, I believe he was in the process of pulling it apart?

Looks can be deciving, the GMC needs floor boards/rockers/the piece acroos the top of the windshield. Just good paint holding it together!
