87 STEPPER · 05-17-2016, 04:01 PM

That's one fine lookin stepper you have Chris! You done a great job on it and you should be proud.

Don't know why you would be bored now is when you get to have fun with it load mama n the boys up and drive the wheels off the 'ol girl

BTW I ordered my truck and I almost got that blue but went with black instead. I don't regret it but I would still love to have that color

**MikeB** · 05-17-2016, 04:18 PM

That's simply incredible! Can't even imagine how many hours and dollars you have invested. Not to mention lots of patience.

I would have fixed the basic things to make the truck safe and reliable, but can't see myself totally stripping a cab or replacing rusted panels.

Great job!

Yeah but both those kids need trucks for high school. If this one took 8yrs you need to get started ASAP.

chrismoore701 · 05-17-2016, 08:06 PM

I agree. Just need to convince the wife

8 years because I started it 2 months after my first son was born. Through in a second son and major renovations on my house including a kitchen

Chris: Nice Truck>Nice Job. Just curious on what you used for the fuel tank inlet hose? Did you have the original or did you find one? BTW: I never did (probably never will) find a spare for my 77 Stepside Shortbed that fits correctly. Larry

Jaysonb · 05-18-2016, 09:36 AM

Looks great man! Congratulations.

I bought a pair from the site in the link below. The passenger fit like a glove, but I had to cut up the driver side and shorten it. I used a piece of fence top rail from a chain link fence. it worked
