I've been thinking about getting a set of Foose Legends, what are the specs of the wheels and your truck (tire size and make, wheel width and backspacing, suspension)? Thanks

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds
 

the truck is lowered with 3 in drop spindles in the front and 5 in in the rear. The wheels are foose 20x8.5 in the front with 14mm offset and 20x10 in the rear with 20mm offset. the front tires are 245/40/20 cooper zeons and the rear tires are 265/55/20. These tires are fairly reasonable areound $700 for a set. I bought the rims off of ebay at a good deal, only $1200 for the wheels and they are $2000 off the website.

Here is my 86. 305/700R4, 1.25 coils cut out of each side and 1 leaf removed. She's mostly done, I need some clear sidemarkers, and not the ones from LMC.

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds
 

Thanks guys! no idea where the console came from, I'll ask the p.o. & I am running 275/60R15 on 15x8 rims

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds
 

Truck looks good longhorn!

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds
 

the consolle looks realy good the truck too im guessing the consolle has been made out of a floormounted one with the bottom cut to fit the contour of the seat , watever it is he done a good job on it
did you done any other work to the longhorn caddy powered truck? last i heared about it the engine was sick or blown up or sumtin

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds
 

The console was bought from some company many moons ago. lol He doesn't remember who, I'll look see if it has a name on it. watahyahknow, wrong longhorn. Its a 68 with a 292. my brother and I had the truck and when I got the 86, it became his truck. He is on here, name is Mayo.

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds
 

Here is a pic of the 84 I had in High school. I put every dollar I made into this truck and have been kicking myself ever since selling it. The kid that bought it from me totalled it about a month after he bought it.

That is, or was, a sharp truck man.

Don't fret over losing it, just be happy you have one to make even better!

Preeeeeeety!

Since you're in Lubbock, did Hill's have anything to do with that truck?

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds
 

Man Funk those wheels look sweet on there. You have done an awesome job on that truck.!!!!

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds
 

well just had to post this i ran at the track last weekend and this was my favorite picture of my truck

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds
 

no offense to the AMAZING work hills does, but this was ALL me! granted jason's work has inspired me and i did get some tips from the man himself! i have been asked countless times if hill's did the work, :lol: makes me all warm and fuzzy inside!

and thanks john! when i joined this forum i never thought id get it this far considering what i started with! but thanks to all the help and motivation from you guys she turned out great! thanks again!

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds
 

I'd take it as a compliment too. With Jason Hill being the square body God and your truck looking so sweet, it's just a natural first assumption. You might be one up on Jason since you have two eyes for the square body. ;) So, since it's all you, great work indeed!

texasfunk: what happend to the other wheels? did you paint them or somthing???:metal:

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds
 

It started out as a stock '82 with a big block

The motor's been rebuilt and puts out 500+ Hp and almost 600 ft. lbs.
http://pic100.picturetrail.com/VOL11.../387391747.jpg

It's got a full 4-link in the rear and a crossover exhaust

I'm currently installing a tubular front end from DJM and then it's heading for paint.

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds
