Title: Added a new horse to the stable
Post by: bake315 on March 30, 2012, 09:10:04 am

Picked this up for 500 bones on craigslist last night - a '74 Custom Deluxe C20 stepside longbed with a 350/SM465 combo.  Plan is to use it as a donor vehicle for my '73 crew.  I'll essentially be swapping parts between the two, but still have two running trucks when it's all said and done.  Not sure yet if I'll keep it or sell it on afterwards.

     I don't see too many long bed step sides out here on the west coast.  Good find and hopefully it will serve the purpose you need it too and then you can pass it along to someone else.

Nice score for $500.

You cannot beat it for the price. It would be cool to build one really nice one, and the stepside be like a low budget build just for fun.

Very cool.  I really like the long stepsides.

Finally got this old truck roadworthy with new wheels/tires and a new windshield.  Added the correct grille as well.  Haven't done much else, but it's amazing how many compliments I get on it just as it is.
