I just recently got into these body styles due to receiving my father's 71 step side. We built a 75 step before and bagged that but this one was done way before. Time to pass the torch and currently on a road trip with him to bring to to my home out in CO. I've been using this site for a lot of research and info. Just wanted to stop by and say thanks and hopefully I run into some of you guys throughout time .
Info about truck: 1971 C10 I am 3rd owner father was 2nd. Built and stayed in Fremont, Ca till now. 4 -6 drop i believe New crate 350 from GM 700r trans 373 rear end. |

Re: New to site
Very cool truck. I haven’t seen chrome steps in a long time, always thought that was a cool thing to do.
Should be a fun trip, weather allowing. Mine went from Wyoming to San Diego a couple of times back in the early 90s

Re: New to site
Beautiful truck! I always like to see pictures of the 67-72 trucks in the mountains of Colorado. I’ve been through the Springs many times heading to Silver Cliff.

So cool! I'd say that is your quintessential California Stepside if there ever was one. Everything about it! And she's a Cheyenne to boot.
Sorry, I almost forgot. Welcome to the site!
