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

Here are some pics of my 77 , I put a 73/74 grill and super custom emblems on it , it was a factory big block shortbed truck , I've had it for 15 years , started to rebuild it 5 years ago, put a 496 in and a 4 link in the rear , I got it back from the body /paint guy just as it started to get cold but I did manage to get the center grill backets tuned up and the grill mounted before I locked it in the garage for the winter,

I cant wait to see this one done!!

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

Hey guys,

Here are a few pics of the '86 I bought 3 weeks ago at the Turkey Rod Run in Daytona FL.
It has a 400 sbc, 700R4, nice custom benchseat interior, shaved driprail moldings (might need them here I'm afraid)
Haven't got it home yet. It's sailing somewhere on the Atlantic Ocean. Left Jacksonville yesterday, ETA early January '11... Can't wait to get it on the road here!

First mod; rear cab speakermounts & a sub enclosure then probably other wheels...these 22" are a bit too big and "pimp" for my taste....I'm lusting after a set of 20" Eagle 225's:metal:
Love them on pewter01 and LivNLo94's trucks!

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

Don't know, depends what the step bumper looks like....
I like it either way:metal:

BTW What size tires are you running on those 225's?

And, yeah I'd love to see a vid of Pewter01's awesome truck.....a 6.0L or 6.2L LSX would the the ultimate engine swap.. too bad there aren't any to be found around here.........

If I were to change the bumper on your truck I would go with a sports bumper.
