I'd still like to see a CUCV long bed STEPSIDE created.

I like that look also. I googled some longbed Chevy's and for sure 1980 Chevy's were available in longbed stepside, possibly more year models from the 80's. Maybe you can find a bed if you dig deep enough on the web. Finding one seems much harder than actually making the swap. If someone does this swap please post pictures!

Temp . is 75 deg. now. I dont mind painting when it is 55deg. plus . The paint lays down real flat / smooth . I really like this waterborne paint from Sherwin Williams .

Well started putting the fenders on Friday and ended up denting the door and the fender trying to tweak them in some.:cry: Should have left them alone but I couldn't resist. So I have fixed the door and fender and repainted them Sunday morning , might put fender on tonight if I dont fall asleep . Buzz thats why I took a picture with my daughter and pup to show how high the truck sits. That is a 6"lift on rear and 8" superlift on front . Truck sit up in the back by about 1/4" just what I wanted.

Also thanks everyone for the compliment .
