Thanks for all the encouragement, hope to be putting truck back together soon. Started cleaning up some of the parts needed today, the plastic cowl grill. Below are some pics of the grill clips, and grill.

Re: 1986 Chevy C10 SWB Step Side

photos of plastic grill with clips. Note too interesting, just info for what they look like. Also, cleaned the windows and vent windows today with a little fine steel wools, to remove all the old crude around the edges.

Could you post a close up pic of rear bed post? I would like to see how the bed rail rolls into the post.

Re: 1986 Chevy C10 SWB Step Side

The truck came home today. Not for final stay, but for installing power train, and putting the bed back together, then back to paint shop for installation of front end.

Man, one sweet stepper! If you could take one eye level from rear lookin straight down the "curl" I will leave you alone. I'm trying to see the curl's shape and how it attaches to the bed post. Mine looks like the bed rail was forced down slightly and then spot-welded
