My good friend underneath is the body and paint guy, he is very good at what he does!

All body panels were 100% original with zero rust.


Thanks all !

That looks great and is going to be a lot of fun to drive. And you're keeping the slider! Or at least I assume, haha. Nothing against the guys who swap them out, I understand that it smoothes out the look of the back of the cab. But I can't imagine driving a pickup, non-crew anyway, without being able to reach back and open the slider.

Very nice. Just right. Funny to think what a rare sight a Stepside 4wd is now compared to the '70s and '80s. Always a favorite. These were the new trucks we could buy that were like the old trucks we were into
