Hey bro, you can't link to a file that's on yer computer, you gotta upload it somewhere on the net first - CarDomain and SuperMotors specialize in vehicles seem to be pretty popular for that kinda stuff.

Re: How about some pictures of '73-'87 short beds

Re: How about some pictures of '73-'87 short beds
 

Static!

Shorter Springs and 2.5" drop Spindles in the front and a couple links out in the rear. 265 / 18's in the rear and 235 / 18's in the front. Eagle wheels. SCREAMS BIGBLOCK don't it?... one day!

Re: How about some pictures of '73-'87 short beds
 

keep em comin.i could look at shortbeds all day.they all look nice to me.that blue and grey does look good together,

Re: How about some pictures of '73-'87 short beds
 

how much shorter coils though 3 inch or 2 or what?

And links out in the back? what a 4 link conversion or leafs removed or what?

I think it's got a perfect stance.

Re: How about some pictures of '73-'87 short beds
 

Thanks! If definetely draws attention wherever I drive it.

Spindles were 2 1/2"
Coils were 2" shorter (I believe)
I'll double check on the leafs, it was already lowered when I bought it in May.

What I do know for sure is that from the lower control arms to the ground is between 2 1/2 and 3 inches. Is that considered "slammed"?

Re: How about some pictures of '73-'87 short beds
 

I would think so.

Most of the static rear drops are either removed leafs, less then 4-5 for small springs or less then 8 for the heavy duty ones, some had.

Longer rear shackles or flipped hangers up front, if the front of the spring is below the frame it's stock, if it's way up towards the top then it's a drop hanger.

Then of course if the leafs are under the axle, it's a flip kit.

Re: How about some pictures of '73-'87 short beds
 

It's not sealed, just black primer for now. I'm gonna paint it this fall after I dop a smokin' big block in it.

Re: How about some pictures of '73-'87 short beds
 

That's a cool truck, wheels fit it real good. Love the scenery too, it's just awesome to not see a single building on the horizon :D

Re: How about some pictures of '73-'87 short beds
 

took those up at the Town Reservoir here in Walla Walla, Wa. used to be a nice town, but has had too much of an influx of rich Californians building wineries and inflating the land values. definitely a beautiful area but the people kinda spoil it.. lol

I had thought about taking a pic overlooking the town from the hills, but thats a Gravel Road and I just finished polishing the rims after three years of neglect by my brother.

Overall its in pretty good shape other than paint and minor body issues, two minor rust spots, dents dings and a few holes needing filled. It was my brother's Ex-wife's truck and she hauled her 5th wheel horse trailer with it. The hitch mounted behind the rear tire wells and the back corners of the wells have been notched. It started life as a 6-cyl which has been replaced with a 305 out of my brother's old Chevy 4x4.
