Now I can get back to work on my stinking truck! BTW, I'm the goober in the plaid jacket helping hold the booth sides while we assembled it! The other two are my partners. Jake is on the ladder and Fred is holding the other side. I can't imagine two better guys to work with every day. Hey Rick, hope everything is going well for you. Thanks for your support! I really wanna see your truck get finished soon! (no pressure! LOL) D

Re: '67 step-side replacement rear bumper
The new shop looks good, especially with that 67 step side parked in there.

Re: '67 step-side replacement rear bumper
Ok, I got back to work on my truck today. I tore the column down and started cleaning. First I took some steel wool and cleaned the rust off of the chrome handles. Then I took some WD40 and sprayed the heck out of the inside to break up the grime. (I will regrease it later) I blew out the crap and then wiped it down with lacquer thinner to get the WD40 off.
Sanded the paint down to bare metal then etched it and then painted it charcoal BC/CC. I didn't like the way the cream column looked in the cab so I changed the color. More nuteral to accent the interior and make the cream sections stand out even more. I'm not sure if I will keep the same steering wheel or if I will go with a newer one, like a Grant or something. I kinda like the look of the older wheel, goes with the truck. Sometimes when you try to blend newer with older the newer sticks out like a sore thumb. LMC makes a 700R4 shift indicator for my column that I think I will order. The indicator that is in it now is for a three speed. For 10 bucks it would be nice to be able to have a indicator that matches my transmission. Once I get the column in I'll post more pics. Later guys, D

I think Summit also sells that wheel as a Summit Brand. I have been looking at them too. Can't beat the price.

Re: '67 step-side replacement rear bumper
Wow, this is a cool build, there is a ton of information you are sharing, which is awesome. Wish I would have found this before now that I'm almost "finished".
Anyway, can you let me know how you did your door panels? I'l really like to keep the look of the panel in some sort of fabric like that, but I'm at a loss on how to do it.

Re: '67 step-side replacement rear bumper
Had a friend give me a power steering pump and started to install it today. It looks like I'm missing the adjusting bracket. I have to put in my power brakes next. I'll post pics tomorrow.

Re: '67 step-side replacement rear bumper
You have a good color sense. The gray column does really go with the tweed. I wasn't sure when you were writing about it, but in the pix, it looks great!

Re: '67 step-side replacement rear bumper
I got the truck all color sanded and buffed today. Took it out and washed it but by the time I finished the sun was behind some clouds. So I pushed it back in and took a pic. I'm getting my transmission crossmenber on Monday and then I can get the drive shaft in. Hopefully not too much longer before I can drive it. Wait... haven't I said that before???
