Re: 1969 Chevy Stepside Restoration/Build up

I think you will be pretty happy with your lowering kit. I got basically the same thing from ECE and, as far as I can tell since I still have assembly to do, it is going to set nice without being too low.

Is your mirror a self darkening one too? I need a new mirror and didn't realize that these were so easy to install. Time to go junk yard shopping.

Yes it is self darkening but not sure if that part of it is working or not because it hasn't been to dark in Alaska right now/ don't drive the truck at night. The lowering kit worked out pretty good with some problem. I installed the rear springs first and the truck sat pretty low almost too low. Figured I would install the front and see how it sat right? Got the front installed dropped it down, front was 1'' higher than the rear looked ridiculous. I guess this was because the new 5.3L with Aluminum Heads is much lighter than the previous old straight six? Anyway long story short I made some spacers for the rear springs to bring the back up just 1" so it has a 3" lowering kit in the back now instead of a 4". Looks great, went to a car show last Sunday in Anchorage it was the biggest car show in Alaska 350+ cars and trucks! Saw a number of other 67-72's there some pretty close to as nice as mine....
I'll get pics up some time soon!

That is an awesome truck you built, man. Thank you for all the inspiration! I have got a '69 shortbed stepside as well and I have learned a lot from your thread. Great work!

OK, Matt, looks like every thing came out very nice on your truck, still love that color, and yes you talked me into getting a steering wheel just like yours, looks cool in the truck,, like those short bed side steppers , did you get best of show, i would have voted you for that, and made sure you got that award, i still look forward to finding you on this web site,,because i think your truck is totally awesome. well nuff said , keep up the great work on the truck,,because you will never be done improving it. do you live in Anchorage or near there, i was up there in the 80's doing pipe line work,,

Thanks, the car show I went to was so big that no I didn't get best truck award and for good reason, there was a lot of competition. Think it went to a perfect 50's chevy truck don't exactly remember which one exactly. I would of won best truck at an earlier show in June of this year but I had to leave early. And yes I do live in Anchorage!

I'm not really the fishing type lol, otherwise I would, Cool that you used to be in anchorage, the weather's starting to really suck (raining) so I can't drive the truck much at all which really sucks...Before I know it, it'll be snowing....Guess I'll be putting it in storage till next summer! That's alright though because I just got a Silverado SS so that will be a great winter truck (6.0L AWD) until next summer when I can get the 69 back out.

Re: 1969 Chevy Stepside Restoration/Build up

Matt, Nice truck! I just found your build thread and went through it. I'm just about done with my 67. Need exhaust, tires and wheels, and the bed wood in. I thought I would shoot you a picture since my truck is almost the exact color. Mine is Atomic Orange from the newer vettes, but I'm not sure I see much difference from the copper. Don't worry, I'm in Portland, Oregon so we aren't fighting for the same color in the same town! Ha Ha.

Re: 1969 Chevy Stepside Restoration/Build up

Thanks. I didn't do the paint, but did as much as I could myself. I'm letting a shop finish some things up that I didn't trust myself with or couldn't do in the gravel. I know enough to be dangerous!

I don't have a build thread, but I have a lot of pictures from it here:

Haha..It's not in the stock location that's just a fake to make it look original the real one is behind the rear tire. I still need to finish it and do the marker light gas door filler.

Took the 69' on the last drive of the season and got some great pics of it! Probably one of the last days I'm going to drive it this year because snows just around the corner!

Ah, I'm not one for fishing or hunting LOL, but I'll send some pics once we get some snow. The truck will be safe from the snow in storage soon!

Re: 1969 Chevy Stepside Restoration/Build up

Well it's been awhile since I did anything to the truck so I decided to finish a unfinished project on it: The Sidemarker Fuel Filler.
Before this the filler was behind the rear tire and you couldn't fill it up at a gas station. I used a 90's truck fuel door and filler tube system and modified it to work. No results from the gas station because it's winter but here's the results:










Put 5 gallons of gas in it with a can and it worked great!
