The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network - How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds

Hey guys...
Newbie here...Recently picked this up for a new toy...'87 GMC..built up 350..700r4 with shift kit/slight stall....rollpan...cowl-hood...blahblah..Future plans are to drop it some more and buy some tires for the rally wheels that I picked up at the local swap meet..shave drip rails..find different mirrors...etc. etc. I was really impressed with how straight the body was, and I have only found one "pencil-eraser" sized spot of rust on the whole truck... I've always wanted on old squarebody, and now I have one....:metal: I've spent the last few days going through the countless threads on here, and I am truly impressed at all of the sweet trucks that are on the board...I have so many ideas right now, that I hope my pocketbook can keep up....:lol:---------------------Ed

back in the early 80's , living in salty pa., my first gold mod wheels(looked good on a brown truck) rusted bad in two years so i had a company called raceline in Ca. build me a set of alum ones that were powdercoated gold in the center. the first set they sent were wrong pattern. ughhhh. anyway the '.new' aluminum . ones were still on the truck when i sold it 8 years later.

Here is the 85 sierra i just picked up. Anyone know where i can get the clear side fender markers? The orange relfector just doesnt suit the look i want but im having a hard time tracking down all clear lenses. LMC has completely clear with an orange relflector on one end but no all white lenses.
