We'll stop there for today, and pick back up tomorrow.....Jim

Re: Jimbo's 67 Long bed step side build
 

I'm enjoying the story (even tho I don't always post to say so). Your metal sculpting skills are impressive (and the size of your shop, too). Thanx for sharing.

Re: Jimbo's 67 Long bed step side build
 

I'm loving this build. I'm working on a 69 C-20 long step myself.

Re: Jimbo's 67 Long bed step side build
 

Thanks for the compliments. My son is helping on this build, so some of the work is his and some mine. Shop is 30X40 and at times, there isn't enough room (we all say that)....Jim

Re: Jimbo's 67 Long bed step side build
 

Thanks for checking out the build, glad to see more of them getting the attention....Jim

Re: Jimbo's 67 Long bed step side build
 

I'm building this one for my son. He's only 7, so thankfully I have plenty of time.

Re: Jimbo's 67 Long bed step side build
 

Be careful, time has a way of getting away from you. My son and I were going to do a build together when he was 20, he turns 40 this year and we are finally starting a build together for him. He's doing most of the work, I'm just giving fatherly advise.:no::help::b69:
