Put the 73-74 style 454 badge on the grill. no such notation for 77 and up. what do you guys think? tried to approximate the placement on the earlier grills.

Re: How about some pics of 73-87 Long Beds?
 

Badging looks factory, need that for my 81.

Re: How about some pics of 73-87 Long Beds?
 

My newest project. What color and how big a lift. That is the question.
Specs are 454, turbo 400 np 205 twin stick, Dana 60 front and corp 14. lots of surface rust and not sure on the rockers but, the bed will get replaced. its not original anyways. :gmc2:

Re: How about some pics of 73-87 Long Beds?
 

Min 4" lift but is a big truck so I would go 6", make it a real truck. Color, well I like red myself, but everyone has their own favorite.

Re: How about some pics of 73-87 Long Beds?

Re: How about some pics of 73-87 Long Beds?
 

is that safe having the bottle mounted under the hood , or do you just have it there for pics

Re: How about some pics of 73-87 Long Beds?
 

I have never seen that, guess it is a cheap bottle heater, not a stable heater mind you.:metal:

Re: How about some pics of 73-87 Long Beds?
 

well everyone knows how dangerous it can be. so if you keep that in mind and constantly check your fittings you shouldn't have a problem and yes it heats the bottle as well. i think its more dangerous mounting them beside batteries in the box of a truck where sparks are found more commonly and a full fuel cell lol my opinion
