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.

Re: 1969 Chevy Stepside Restoration/Build up
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,,

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: http://picasaweb.google.com/russj67/My67

Re: 1969 Chevy Stepside Restoration/Build up
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!

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!
