Back from paint and body
Just got the wife's first truck back from the painter and now the fun begins, She got the truck when she was 16 and drove it for 6 yrs before it went to the farm and got the hell beat out of it. Its a 1970 short bed step side and we're trying to go back as close to original as possible.

Re: Back from paint and body
Truck looks beautiful. All those shovels and rakes hanging next to that new paint are making me nervous though. Keep us updated on assembly progress.

Re: Back from paint and body
My wife and I built a 1970 step side when we first got married but sold it to put down payment on building our first house. I have always loved step sides

That thing looks great can't wait to see it finished.

Congrats on getting it out of paint shop prison, now things can really start happening. I love to see these things resurrected - keep up the great work!
