SLOW 1975 Stepside Build SLOW

I'm finally starting a thread for my 1975. This is my first ever vehicle purchase.

It came from Cail. and was orange, lowered and pretty solid when I bought it. It had a 327/350. After winter driving in NY she needed help. In 2002 I bucked up and started.

I sandblasted and painted the frame

Cab got corners, floor pans and rockers.

New sheet metal- Now I wish, really wish I had searched for GM stuff, but I was kinda crunched for time so 85% of the truck sheet metal came from LMC and local sources.

I'm going to find all the pics I have and post them ( I hate when there no pictures!

This is the back window we did. It was to match the tail lights in the roll pan. I think I'm going back to stock round taillights and just a standard pan.

So I found a 454, spent a but load on it and that's what's going back in. I'll use the turbo 350 until she fails. I also stuck a rebuilt 12 bolt with 373 in the back.

I'm sure I'm not listing a ton of stuff so ask questions if you want.
