Re: Contributing to the delinquency of a step side.
whhaaaatt.......... how could you
![]() short steps are better and not as many around from what i have seen, and the only way i would own a shortbed is if it was a 67 step side, small window preferrably ![]() just sayin haha, it is still a nice ride though either way ![]() Last edited by project 67 sub; 06-29-2011 at 01:41 AM. |

Re: Contributing to the delinquency of a step side.
Back in the '70s the west coast was busting at the seams with "California Stepsides". They were the rage. Today the trend favors Fleetsides. I like them both,always have.
First it was the California Condor heading for extinction. What next? The California Stepside????? ![]() ![]()

One small step for C/10 King but one large step for the "Fleet Side" world.

Re: Contributing to the delinquency of a step side.
I could see it if it was a project and not to the stage that red truck is. I love the dull satin look to that paint. If you have the bed, which is the hard part, find another truck and make it a short wide.

The plan is to get the bed into shape and stripped. Paint the whole truck semi-gloss black. BTW the truck has a 6.0 LQ4/4L80E waiting for it in my garage.

Re: Contributing to the delinquency of a step side.
I'm going the other way...fleet to step.
Stepside screams pure hotrod to me.

Re: Contributing to the delinquency of a step side.
Hey thats my truck!! I got to see Rene's fleet (he said fleet) of pickups. He has an great place and is one hell of a nice guy. I really liked Sancho Plumbing GMC. Yes I am turning my back on the stepper crowd, but know this it was not an easy decision. The step bed on my truck is goregous with a extremely nice wood floor in it, but in these trucks I like the fleetside that much better. I will need to find a home for the bed once I make the change over, I will not let my stepside bed get thrown away.
I got the Fleetside bed blown apart yesterday, more for storing and working on than anything. For the most part it came apart easy, except where someone had welded the rear bed support to the bed sides ![]() Rene, we really liked the meat market you suggested.......mmmmmm carnitas burrito. Again to the stepside fans, it is not a dislike to steps but a bigger love of fleets in this model year. My 1974 C10 will be a stepside as long as it is mine (well in my family...Dad is the current owner). It is still a 67! ![]()

Re: Contributing to the delinquency of a step side.
I will say that I like big windows better with fleets. But if it's a 67 small window...I've gotta go with a stepside.

Re: Contributing to the delinquency of a step side.
I have not done a build thread on the engine transplant yet. I don't want to start a thread and get sidetracked, then it will take me a long time to get back to it.
