That's funny. I just went through 651 and still don't see yours.;)

Re: pictures of shortbox stepsides
 

Post em up....We all would love to check your ride out !

Re: pictures of shortbox stepsides
 

The cover is from CRAFTEC in Texas Part# 251185... Fits stepsides great. A little pricey but worth it IMO.
Go on their website for details.

Re: pictures of shortbox stepsides
 

I like the tilt front end...Very cool !

Re: pictures of shortbox stepsides
 

Oh yea, that's probably why I didn't see my truck in this thread. :rolleyes:

Just to remind you guys, I have two amplifiers under my bucket seats for my killer stereo system, so I used all that real estate in the engine compartment to add two tool boxes for tools and fluids.

Very cool! :cool:

Try that with a new truck. :D

Re: pictures of shortbox stepsides
 

I like that idea. If I did it they would spill out every time I opened the hood.

Re: pictures of shortbox stepsides
 

HA! maybe you could suspend them from a swinging cable attached to the underside of the hood.

Love the tilt front end, I think a low profile cowl-induction setup would really make it stand out even more.

...oh yea, beautiful paint job!

Re: pictures of shortbox stepsides
 

BRL, great truck & good idea to add boxes under the hood too !!

Cab4ward, what's the plan for the box ??? looks like you ran out of money :) jk

72bowtiestepper thanks for the box cover info, that would looks great on Cabs truck too.

Re: pictures of shortbox stepsides
 

Thanks BRL that paint is 20 years old now. And they came out with the cowl hood after I welded mine together or I would of had it. Is your truck 2wheel or 4 wheel drive?

Re: pictures of shortbox stepsides
 

It's just a 2-wheel drive, the PO told me it was an OD green Bell Telephone work truck and every now and then I find clues that he was right.

Changed out the IL-6 3OTT for a 350/350 combination.

4:11 was too steep so I put in a 3:08 (3:07?) rear end.

I really had no idea these trucks were so popular, I found this one for sale in my friends driveway when I was looking for a quadrunner hauler and that saved me from searching around used car lots ect.

That's the paint job I bought it with 26 years ago but yours looks real good!

Bell Telephone. hum thats dating you lol. My sister worked for them too

Re: pictures of shortbox stepsides
 

Hey, I said my 1969 Stepside was a Bell Telephone work truck, I didn't say I worked for them! :mad:

Heck I ain't that old...well, I was born in October of 1957 so you may have a point there.

Naw, I have an awesome stereo system and bucket seats so I'm still young and with it. :smoke:

BTW, that picture counts as a sort of semi 'Sideways Saturday' shot. :)

Re: pictures of shortbox stepsides
 

Once again it's very nice BRL, not overdone.

Re: pictures of shortbox stepsides
 

Well thank you for the complement, but to be honest, the only reason it isn't grossly overdone is because I lack the money and the talent. :o

I just try to keep it on the road these days.

My baby having breakfast...oh, and that counts as a pre-'Frontend Friday' shot.

For somebody who forgot to post pictures on this thread I certainly have made up for it eh. :D

Keep on posting, we love pics

Re: pictures of shortbox stepsides
 

BRL, I cant believe that when I bought mine 67 40 years ago it looked kind of like yours only rougher. Yours looks good and I would like to get together some time and shot the two together

Re: pictures of shortbox stepsides
 

All of the pics of these have given me a lot of ideas of what mine can become now my biggest dilemma is stay stock or go all out

Re: pictures of shortbox stepsides
 

Stay stock with just a bit of ''all out''

Re: pictures of shortbox stepsides
 

Wow you've had yours 40 years!

Sure looks awesome now!

Getting together would be fun but somebody (me) wouldn't dream of going to Oregon unless I was followed by my own fuel tanker truck.

...MORE PICTURES! :D

Re: pictures of shortbox stepsides
 

My work in progress. Building a cruiser not a hot rod. Disc brake conversion, electronic ignition, moved tank to rear, 2-1/2” / 4” static drop. My plan is to drive it in patina for a while and make up my mind on color.

Re: pictures of shortbox stepsides
 

After years of sitting in my garage it's on the road again.

Re: pictures of shortbox stepsides
 

Very nice Drew, wow ......... more pics please

Re: pictures of shortbox stepsides
 

I second that motion.
