Here is a new pic of my truck, I spent all day buffing and waxing it. Sadly, the picture does it to much justice, but it still looks a lot better. :ito:

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

i agree!!!! just something about it is sik as hell!

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

the hole truck maybe? only thing i dont like is the chrome step under the cab.

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

I don't think thats a step, It looks like lakepipes to me....

Although the only thing I'd change are the ugly ass wire wheels

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

i don't see the 'HOLE'.... or the 'step'!:haha: sorry i had to do it

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

On a side note, I love your truck. Came across your youtube video about 4 days ago and then found your build up thread. Coming along real nicely. Made me rethink everything I had planned for my truck. Now I'm at a complete blank as far as what engine I'm gonna run :confused:

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

Did you have to get the brackets to go with it or did you use the 73-80 brackets?

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

i had to cut the end of my frame off and use the '84 brackets, if you decide to do the swap look at your frame ends and the frame ends of the donor to see if they are different, if they are make a template of the donor to use on your truck

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

Yup, they are lakepipes that angle is kinda deceiving. Here is a different picture

The wheels give the truck the lowrider look/personality. Personally I think some big billets for example would destroy the look it has going on.

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

I'm really not a wire wheel guy but they do look great on that truck. I think it has something to do with the phantom the wires seem to go well together. Also like that it is a stepside man.

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

Well this is good to know. I didnt think there would be such a difference in the frame ends. But I am considering the swap because it looks really good. And yours is the only round-eye square body I've seen with an 83-87 front bumper.

WEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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

Something had to break when that beast landed! That looks like funnnnnnn!

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

When I first saw that truck, it reminded me of the a truck from a TV show. Just can't think of that TV show.

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

I didn't either until i got them side by side and looked at the, If and when you do the swap you will see the difference, and I think I'm the only that I know of that has done this swap but I sure there are others I just haven't seen them
