Re: pictures of shortbox stepsides
I like that idea. If I did it they would spill out every time I opened the hood.

Re: pictures of shortbox stepsides
HA! maybe you could suspend them from a swinging cable attached to the underside of the hood.
Love the tilt front end, I think a low profile cowl-induction setup would really make it stand out even more. ...oh yea, beautiful paint job! |

Re: pictures of shortbox stepsides
Thanks BRL that paint is 20 years old now. And they came out with the cowl hood after I welded mine together or I would of had it. Is your truck 2wheel or 4 wheel drive?

Re: pictures of shortbox stepsides
It's just a 2-wheel drive, the PO told me it was an OD green Bell Telephone work truck and every now and then I find clues that he was right.
Changed out the IL-6 3OTT for a 350/350 combination. 4:11 was too steep so I put in a 3:08 (3:07?) rear end. I really had no idea these trucks were so popular, I found this one for sale in my friends driveway when I was looking for a quadrunner hauler and that saved me from searching around used car lots ect. That's the paint job I bought it with 26 years ago but yours looks real good! ![]() |

Re: pictures of shortbox stepsides
Once again it's very nice BRL, not overdone.

Re: pictures of shortbox stepsides
Well thank you for the complement, but to be honest, the only reason it isn't grossly overdone is because I lack the money and the talent.
![]() I just try to keep it on the road these days. My baby having breakfast...oh, and that counts as a pre-'Frontend Friday' shot. For somebody who forgot to post pictures on this thread I certainly have made up for it eh. ![]() ![]() ![]() |

Re: pictures of shortbox stepsides
BRL, I cant believe that when I bought mine 67 40 years ago it looked kind of like yours only rougher. Yours looks good and I would like to get together some time and shot the two together

Sure looks awesome now! Getting together would be fun but somebody (me) wouldn't dream of going to Oregon unless I was followed by my own fuel tanker truck. ...MORE PICTURES! ![]() ![]() |

Re: pictures of shortbox stepsides
My work in progress. Building a cruiser not a hot rod. Disc brake conversion, electronic ignition, moved tank to rear, 2-1/2” / 4” static drop. My plan is to drive it in patina for a while and make up my mind on color.
