That's the way I got it. Looks like a half a coil was cut in the front. I did love the ride height.

Honestly it was orange straight from the can, I don't remember if anything else was added, maybe a little black to darken it a bit and give it some body. My dad and I painted the truck in one weekend, 10 years ago, at the shop he works at. It was 6 coats of paint, 2 coats of paint /clear mix and 4 coats of primer, thats about a I know.
I've been toying with the idea of painting the new truck this colour with white as a two tone.

Dalaigh that stepside is eye candy. Looks like Hugger orange. Love orange and those cragars are timeless. Perfect combo.

Re: Please post pics of your stepside thanks

Thanks guys, That picture was actually taken after I sold it by one of the last owners. I found it online, when it was for sale, and saved the pic. When I had it it had the factory rallyes painted black, the owner after me put on the cragers. That paint looked like it was miles deep in the sun, I loved the way it came out. That the one truck I regret selling. I know where it is and have been thinking about offering to buy it back, but what I really want is a 73-80 stepper. So, when the 84 K10 is done and on the road, I'm going to start looking for one.

Nope. Stock width frame, ladder bars, and a 9inch I believe came out of a Lincoln mark series. Not sure on the back space but they are 15x15 rears.

I will post more pics smoke_dog. Right now the truck is all apart. I am replacing floors and rockers. I went to redo the interior and when I pulled up the floor mats to put in carpet I found some rust.
