New here...My 69 step side build

New here and thought I post up some build pics and specs of the 69 step side I've been building. It started life as an original bare bones truck.

Swapped the six and 3 speed for a 327 and tremec 5 speed
ECE drop spindles and power disc brakes up front coils out back
Power steering. 12 bolt w/ detroit tru-trac and 3:73's

What it looked like when i picked it up:

Re: My 69 step side build

More to come this winter. I just got done installing a retro sound radio which is nice but the install was a pain. Dynamat for the interior and swaybars are next on the list. Then who knows...

Thanks flashed, other than a set of rocker skins, the truck was unbelievably solid, especially for Missouri...

I like the way your heading with your rig. Those hub caps look great.
