My SWB Steps and Braces I purchased off of 68 SHORT-STEP'N came in today. They look awesome and are very solid. Once I blast and paint them they will look brand new. Thanks again Jimmy.

Yeah I would have never found those steps locally, this board is awesome

AJohn6 · 08-09-2012, 03:32 PM

Thats the truth. I had a heck of a time finding a step brace for my truck and one of the guys on the board gave me one, only had to pay for shipping.

I love this place.

Thanks guys, last year when we set the wedding date my wife was hoping my truck was going to be done for it so we could have taken wedding pics with my truck. I laughed at her and was like I'll be lucky if it is done the summer of 2013. I was right the wedding has come and gone and the truck is far from being done lol

I listed them in the for sale forum but didn't get any bites so I decided to keep them and just tub the bedsides. This way I will never have to worry about it again. In the future when I decide to change wheels I will set up to run whatever size and width I want. Going to probably tub around 4" so I'll be able to run up to a 12" wide wheel. Plus I am still planning on buying the Porterbuilt Mild rear dropmember I had to cancel about 4 months ago which will require some mods to the bed floor. So in the end I said screw it i'll just make everything fit. I had to remind myself i'm building a custom truck
