I have the fenders for this truck. They were removed the day the truck was bought back in 1970. They have been stored in a barn since then. Underneath the dust they are BRAND NEW. That is the first thing that is gonna change is putting the fenders back on!

Dreaminator · 03-30-2003, 11:46 AM

Great find!

**Classic Heartbeat** · 03-30-2003, 11:50 AM

I agree!! Great find!! It should be a real sweatheart of a stepside when done. WES www.ClassicHeartbeat.com

That is a pretty good score!
Most people don't know that is just a short step with bolt on compartments on the bed.

Bill72BB · 03-30-2003, 12:01 PM

Looks good ,great getting the fenders in mint condition .When I bough my Custom Camper it had a 10 " cabover on it ,and the old guy said the tailgate was in the rafters so we get it down all wrapped in a blanket ,I'm thinking Cherry ? not so had a bow and some dings

You lucked out.
Good Luck

O'l Buck · 03-30-2003, 12:34 PM

Wow, that's a good lookin' truck. I wish I could find one that clean. All I ever seem to find is this worn out rusted and beat up stuff that's been a farm truck all of it's life. Congrats

krue · 03-30-2003, 12:39 PM

Supposedly this one has been a farm truck for most of it's life.
I don't know, but I had to have afteer I saw it, and finally it's mine.

**Palf70Step** · 03-30-2003, 05:22 PM

Good score Krue. Be looking to seeing what it looks like without the toolboxes.

*Randy70C-10* · 03-30-2003, 06:22 PM

I like the boxes, gives it character. I'd keep it like it is, and put some custom rims on it......and maybe airbag suspension.

toms68cst · 03-30-2003, 06:47 PM

That's really in nice condition. Conrats!

krue · 03-30-2003, 06:50 PM

The tool boxes are history!
Fenders will go on as soon as I round up some more phillip head bolts.

casey · 03-30-2003, 06:54 PM

those boxes got to go, specially given the fact that you have the new ones, that babys gonna be sweeeet, awesome find krue!

krue · 03-30-2003, 07:11 PM

The boxes are gone! I will post pics as soon as I trim them up a little.
