all original 85 C10...99,000 miles...couple little dings here and there but straight, solid and clean...NO RUST...daily driver right now - but really thinking about a custom project...

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

WOW! That truck is clean. I especially like the beauty rings with the caps. If it's a survivor and is original, I'd leave it that way. Just my .02.

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

i like it. very clean. would look good w/ some wider tires and wheels w/ the dog bowls. i'd leave her alone.

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

Thanks guys...I just put the new skins on her - they were the widest I could get on the stock wheels...I should clairify what I meant by project...I just want to upgrade the handling/steering, fresh paint and maybe a slight lowering kit...thoughts and suggestions welcome and appreciated...

also here is an interior shot...no cracks in the dash at all...

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

Truck looks really clean. I think just about anything you do to it will look good. Just really depends on what you really like about the truck. To me long beds never looked all that good lowered too much. Keep us updated.

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

John,
I agree about not lowering it too much...I was thinking about 3 inches - although I saw a long bed the other day that had 5 inch all around and it looked pretty good!
Thanks,
Mark

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

Nothing wrong with it, I just personally don't like it. I guess the lowering of them just magnifies the length of the bed.

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

What size wheels is that guy running...looks like 22-20 combo to me. Am I wrong?

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

now thats nice.... hard to tell bout the rears due to so much dish on them....

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

Yeah the way that picture was taken and that huge lip on those rear wheels (now that I`ve been staring at it for the past 30 min hehehehe) its starting to look to me like a 24-20 setup. Either way....ONE SICK TRUCK. Love it! That truck is the reason why I went with a LWB instead of short.

Here is my '78 heavy half GMC

http://i644.photobucket.com/albums/u...8/IMG_gmc2.jpg

This is a very old pic, truck dosent look this good anymore. In this pic was 2.5" WC spindles, Shackle/hanger maxed out for 4".

Rims are Pacer's 15x10 with 275/60 rear, 15x8 with a 255/60 front.

Shortly after this, I blew the engine, it sat for three years, I chopped it in half to make a shortbed, built the engine and put a 700r4 in it. That was almost 6 yrs ago and I bet I havent put 30k miles on it.... :(

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

Nice truck...any recent pictures?

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

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

now thats a bumper! :lol: sweet ride!

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

What was that truck used for to need that beastly bumper?

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

Looks like the bumper off a towtruck. If I remember correctly they're beefy so you can push start vehicles.

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

looks like alot of work

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

It came off a big rig. My friend has a bunch of old cars laying around, I got this one for $400. I pulled the bumper of needless to say. yeah it needs a lot of work, but it will be fun.
