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

Here's some progress shots over the last 3 months. Truck was solid and fairly straight. We just shaved the drip rails, filled the stake holes in the bed rails, deleted the cargo light and removed the trim below the back window. Also added corvette mirrors and a roll pan. Probably the biggest bang for the buck was replacing all the weatherstrips and rubber bumpers at the tailgate, doors and hood. Made a huge difference in alignment and getting rid of those annoying rattles.

275/60/15 on 15x10 rear
245/60/15 on 15x8 front

Wheels are from a previous owner that I still run in to time and again. We were guessing they were from the early 90's. Chrome steel wheels.

Tonneau I picked up from Summit Racing a few years ago. Part number WLF-93-781000-01 by LeBra. I use Croftgate Tire Shine to keep it looking decent without the grease of other products that run all down the sides of the bed.

Thanks for the interest.
