Re: Bought Another Truck- 1970 Stepside
 

I'm developing a plan.
I like the Billet Specialties wheels idea.
I wish I could find original bench seat upholstery in the Parchment color.

The SPID sheet is faded and hard to get a good picture.
There's only two options on it.
Bronze paint, and gold(?) vinyl trim.

So the interior will probably be switched to black.

Re: Bought Another Truck- 1970 Stepside
 

Today I pulled the interior out.
Under the rubber floor mat,... I found the original padding and a pretty nice floor.
The kick panel area is really nice.
It looks like the previous owner had repainted the footwell area on the drivers side with a brush. There was also evidence of rain leaking in, so I'll probably pull the windshield.
The PO had, at some time, installed an aftermarket AM/FM/Casstte player.
Luckliy the dash was not cut.
I'll be repainting the original radio delete plate (unless I can find a nice used on in this color), since it came that way from the factory.

That's a great find......

Re: Bought Another Truck- 1970 Stepside
 

i kindah liked the colour of the current bench think its destressed leather i seen it being used on some of the house sofas

maibe someone that upholsters cars and trucks can spice it up a bit by making channels across the seat and back area that should be enough to make it look like it belongs there

Keith, Congrats. I talked to the owner on Thu morn and he said someone was coming down to buy it. Joe'sJunk has a perfect original seat for this truck I think. Congrats again. Mike.

Re: Bought Another Truck- 1970 Stepside
 

Mike,... thanks for letting me know about Joes bench seat.
I will get ahold of him.

Re: Bought Another Truck- 1970 Stepside
 

Man... the pics keep getting better, that floor is clean!

Re: Bought Another Truck- 1970 Stepside
 

Subscribed! I think you and Nate have located the last two original rust free trucks in the Midwest! :)

Re: Bought Another Truck- 1970 Stepside
 

man that thing is clean!

Re: Bought Another Truck- 1970 Stepside
 

WOW! Another super clean truck. I can't wait to see how this one turns out.

Re: Bought Another Truck- 1970 Stepside
 

Great score ..... I too search the craig's list ads daily. Some real decent deals due to the ****ty economy.

Re: Bought Another Truck- 1970 Stepside
 

I am happy for you that truck went to the right guy. You have to be constantly looking and be ready to buy. The one you don't look at is the one you should have bought!!!!

Re: Bought Another Truck- 1970 Stepside
 

Keith, I would call Jerry Brown at The Truck Shop in Tenn. I know he isn't the answer to everything, but he has been into these trucks longer than anybody I know. He did my interior from a bolt he had stashed away. My truck still has that new car smell. Call him, he may can help you with this. Or he may laugh...Worth the call though.

You Missouri guys find all the good ones. If I didn't live in Texas, I'd be jealous. :lol:

Re: Bought Another Truck- 1970 Stepside
 

VERY NICE KEITH!! I'm subscribing to see the altitude adjustment ;)

Re: Bought Another Truck- 1970 Stepside
 

Nice truck Keith!

Re: Bought Another Truck- 1970 Stepside
 

:jdp: Great score!

Re: Bought Another Truck- 1970 Stepside
 

Thanks for all the comments.
I've never had a truck this clean.

Re: Bought Another Truck- 1970 Stepside
 

you know Keith, that truck really lacks something. hummmm, I think firewall and dash board heater delete plate would look perfect in that truck, don't you agree??

promise you'll give them a good home, it took me a looooong time to find them! I'll pm you.....

Re: Bought Another Truck- 1970 Stepside
 

You think just like me.
They will have a good home.:metal:

Re: Bought Another Truck- 1970 Stepside
 

your welcome. good things come to good guys. check your pm.

promise I can still drink some of your beer this year at Goodguys??

Re: Bought Another Truck- 1970 Stepside
 

Keith, That is one clean stepside. Looks like you got a great deal. I know how hard they are to find in that good of shape.

Re: Bought Another Truck- 1970 Stepside
 

Keith, Great truck!! I might have a good original paint radio delete plate. Ill try to get you some pics of the seat and stuff asap.

Re: Bought Another Truck- 1970 Stepside
 

I'm interested in everything, including a radio delete plate.

I have the original delete plate that came with the truck,... but it looks like it was stored in the glovebox for 40 years.
(lots of scratches)

Re: Bought Another Truck- 1970 Stepside
 

Dealer-installed "farmer bumper" as I always called 'em. My back bumper on my former truck (sob-sob) was like that one, but with a bit less curve at the ends.

Congrats on a super-clean original find.
