    this is my 1984 stepside build. i bought it for $800 as a shortwide

    as soon as i got it we started stripping it down and began customizing it. buy the next weekend it looked like this

    after a few cruise nights i decided to tear it down and build it the way i wanted it

    my 84 stepside c-10 build Adjustedtrain

    i decided i wanted it to be a stepside so i got rid of my short bed and got a stepside bed for it. i sand blasted the frame and layed a silver paint on it

    Thank guys. It dosent look like that right now. I will try and post some pics when I get a chance. I'm fixing to take it to a friend of mine to get painted I was planning on doing it myself but don't really have the time to get it done. While the body is being painted I'm planning on finishing the air ride, and try and get the motor installed
