Re: 1970 One Owner Short Step
I don't usually go to the beach but my kids like Stinson the most. But when you're going to Yosemite there's a town named Groveland. The Iron Doors Bar and Grill is a great lunch stop. It's very historic and great food too. Keep the pics coming, give me a holler if you're coming through Fairfield or Benicia. PM if you want my number.

Re: 1970 One Owner Short Step
On Tuesday we left NM and headed to Hoover Dam/Vegas. If you visit Vegas you should make the drive to the dam it is pretty amazing. We stayed at the Monte Carlo. It is right in the middle of the strip and was a decent place. The casino was not amazing but it was clean and well staffed. This was my first trip to Vegas. I was not expecting to see so many slot machines/electronic poker machines vs real tables. It made me a little depressed that people prefer the electronic machines to actual tables. Our society is loosing that personal contact and is relying on electronics more and more. Anyway here are some fun pictures.

Re: 1970 One Owner Short Step
Sorry about the sideways pictures I can't get my phone to post them correctly. Here are a few more. While in Vegas we ate at the Peppermill restaurant. They had amazing food and have survived on the strip for 40+ years.

Re: 1970 One Owner Short Step
I ended up finding a good deal on a beach hotel at Pismo Beach. Pismo was great. It was not crowded and had a very friendly feel to it. Apparently they have the best clam chowder around at the Splash Cafe. When we arrived at 11:30 there was already a line out the door and around the corner. I am not a clam chowder expert but it was really good. We made it to San Francisco yesterday and met up with our friends who are attending Golden Gate Seminary. This is a picture from their campus. Apparently thier campus is going to move next year so they will be the last class to graduate here.

Re: 1970 One Owner Short Step
Really sorry about the pictures. It doesn't seem to matter what I do on my phone, it will only post the with the orientation that I took them.

Re: 1970 One Owner Short Step
So you took that last one upside down? Looks like a really fun trip!

Let me know how you like the iron doors. Keep the trip safe and have a great time too.

Re: 1970 One Owner Short Step
Also, I noticed what looks like a comfort grip wheel in the photos of the truck as purchased. Do you happen to still have it? I am looking for one for my next project.

Re: 1970 One Owner Short Step
Life has been busy but hopefully I can start updating the progress soon. Until then here is a teaser picture.

Re: 1970 One Owner Short Step
I do. I'm not sure if we talked about this off the forum yet or not but I have it somewhere.

Re: 1970 One Owner Short Step
Your truck looks great! Where did you get your 1970 inner grill?

Re: 1970 One Owner Short Step
That is the same one in the first post of this build! It is one of the few things I was able to save besides the steel. It has a few cracks and missing pieces, but no one notices and I thought it would be fun to use it especially since it is a true 1970 inner! I will hopefully find some time this weekend for a full update, but between work and working on the truck, I have had very little time to get on the forum.

My dog riding shotgun. I took the seat out so that he wouldn't tear it up.
