Welcome!

Uh oh! A newbie! Seriously though, Stepside is a registered Chevy name. Flareside is the equivalent Ford term. And Fleetside is another Chevy term, the Ford of which is Styleside. As for electronics, we can use all the help we can get. And if Nick can mod a factory radio to have Bluetooth there may be a lot of us interested. And now you are on the map. Welcome!

Welcome!

I would try lower at first, say $500, see what happens. Good interior parts and rust free parts are good to find though.

Looks good!

I would use an impact wrench. I have a IR air impact and have had good luck with this electric from Harbor Freight, horrid fate for Jim! https://www.harborfreight.com/7-amp-corded-12-in-impact-wrench-61173.html

Welcome!

Nice!

Welcome!

Those are cool! Had one on my 1974 when I bought it. I had a truck camper and that grunting 390 never got hot. I worried about it too. The gentleman I bought it from had a truck camper on it. He set that truck up really nice. Little pricey or I would get it for good measure!

Thanks for the follow up! Great job! Neat to see these old rigs going strong!

Thanks for pointing that out! I saw that whilst researching and that it was to apply clay. That’s cool! I bought a Mother’s synthetic clay. Don’t know if it helped the wipers as that’s a problem sometimes. Put new wiper refills in and then they’re not used for six months! But I did notice the clarity! Much better at night with oncoming headlights and street signs that used to blind me with the brights on. I’ve done three of our four vehicles. Thanks for the tip!

Welcome!

I teed my aftermarket coolant temp gauge. Seems to work good.

Welcome!

Yup, I’m jealous! Nice rims! Nice find Shaun!

They sit in there nice on the carpet. My Bronco has one.

It is nice. Too pricey for me. I have a black one in my Bronco. It has the push button 4WD so it works well. I would like something like this, but would have to cut it for the transfer case shifter.

Looks nice!

Great idea on using the punch! Congrats! Glad you got to drive it. Happy 4th to you as well!

Nice work truck!

I would like to be added please.

I like those Pacer Turbines! Looks good! Keep it up.
