Stepside box (got it home today) - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I got my newly purchased stepside box home today. I doubt I ever would have found it without this board. I bought it from "Solver" who lives only about 35 miles from me. A good guy to do business with, and I never would have met him without this board. He asked what I thought was a reasonable price and no freight to pay!

Another view: In the background is one of "Solvers" herd. He's got a bunch.

Sweet, look's like a great start.

It's a heck of a lot better than what came with the PU. This view doesn't show how rotted the mounting flanges were, but they were virtually non-existant. I should say the mounting flanges of the fenders.

do you have any pics of your t-bucket?

hobby67stepside · 03-02-2003, 12:23 AM

No, I don't but I can try to take some soon. I don't have a digi cam so it would be awhile. I should have some stored for myself anyway.

Hey hobby, congrats on the find. BTW are those Ford tractors?

Dan, Yeah, those old Ford tractors are part of "Solvers" collection. I think they are "9N". If not I hope he reads this post and corrects me!

GMC71k20, I got to thinking and I remembered a pic from way back of my "T". This pic is about 23 years ago. My wife and I sure as hell no longer look like this (wish we did) and my daughter is all grown up, married and soon to make us Grandparents, but the "T" still looks pretty much the same!

very sweet t, ever get caught in a rainstorm in it? hopefully ill have a t-bucket one day but even if i do it will prob be a plastic fraud rod, not the real deal like yours.

The tractors -one is an 8n and one is a 2n the other 8n has to set outside cause my trucks hog the barn. With the box gone maybe she can come in out of the rain and snow also. Hobby was pretty close on his guess. The 9n is one year older than the 2n.Relax as this is the only F**ds I own!
