I put the replacement windshield in it and the tinted rear slider....WOW...that rear slider looks great with that dark wood in the bed! Now I can put the cowl seal and the wipers back on it, re-install the under dash AC and I will be done for now. Been driving the wheels off it.....all 6... working the quirks out of it. She gets a lot of looks. It can be had if anyone is interested.

Do you plan on towing anything with it? I noticed the receiving hitch

If I keep it, it will be used to haul............I am putting a brake controller in it at some point real soon.

Red oak with 3 coats of black stain and 4 coats of clear. If you want black strips I would get the ones that come black. Mar-K has them.

Amazing... I would have never guessed a 327 under the hood though...

Put a cummins 4bt and a brownie trans in and have a real wonder...at the same time, I probably wouldnt change anything on it for nostalgia sake.

I asked mar-K for black powdercoated strips but they only make them for older stepsides I think...

$6K is a very very good price for that rig. Did you build it then?

Wow! That makes it even more cool! So you didn't have to modify the rear axle? I was wonderin how you made a dual wheel setup fit under with no exterior fenders. How bout the wheel base? Did you have to stretch the frame?

All cab chassis rear ends are like that.
And being a 133 inch wheel base one ton, all he had todo was widen the wheel tubs and place bed mounts on the frame
