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

I can't get these out of my head.
I think my 73 may get painted this color. I think this is factory Spring Green
and Frost white, but the first one looks more lime green.
SWEET.

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

that is a nice color, i like the 2 tone, but not the white roof. not sure why chevy did that. even my friends truck i don't care for the cream roof. his was orange and cream. i like the long bed with the big chrome wheels. it's almost like the 2000 VW cyber green i was gonna paint my nova with. i chose white because it was gonna be my first paint job and i wanted to learn.

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

Mine. It's an '87 GMC Wrangler. It's the third one i have owned, same color and everything. This one is the nicest tho, hence me keeping it :-) It is a full load truck in almost mint shape. A new 350 chipped engine was in place when i bought it. I have since installed:
a new tranny
TBI spacer
Dual exhaust (Edelbrock shorty headers soon to come)
Lowered it alot (rear bagged now, soon to be fully w/ FBSS)
rear sport bumper
tailgate insert (soon to be blazer style w/ handle flip)
SS wheel well trims
old school clear corner and tail lights
Billet phantom grille
Rims and tires, Summer 17's winter 15's (they change often)
Custom rear window curtains (by my mom lol)
Alarm/Remote start
Panasonic CDP was in when i bought it but i added an MTX amp and
two 10" subs
Mini grant steering wheel
...Many other little bolt on's
As of right now it's a long, mean, loud, head turner, and only gonna
get badder (as money allows ofcourse)

Anyway, it was suggested to me that i add my LWB to this thread so here it is. I added a lil info as some of you like to know what was done. Some of the pic's i provide, look alot different (mainly heights and wheels). If anyone has questions please feel free to PM me rather than cluter up this thread. Thanks.

That's a sharp truck!

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

i love the paint job man... i was gonna do the same exact thing but flip the colors... my truck came stock withthe gunmetal gray color and i have loved it from day one but it needs a little splash...

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

sweet truck man. please specify tire size and drop. looks killer!

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

I just picked this one up for my buddy for $300, and I only had one blowout
on the way there.
It only needs freezplugs and some tlc. It came with a nice wide toolbox too.
It's a 79 Bonanza.
It's too rough to fix up nice, but it will make a good work truck.
We couldn't pass it up for only $300.

Bad pic I know, but I don't have a camera yet so i used the one from the ad.

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

Here's my contribution. This is a lot of truck for the 292 to push around but I love it. A seriously neglected $600 Craigslist truck that is my daily driver. Restoring it one payday at a time. Seems like an old road or forest service truck. There are some odd things about this rig but then I'm not yet an expert on these models yet.

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

My '74 C30
However since buying it took off the tool box and added a truckman (it's second hand, hence the bad color).

Blue on blue 77! My brother had a blue on blue 78 (we still have it) and i almost bought another blue on blue 78 (it was Hawaiian blue, just a little lighter). We have something like 14-15 squares so i wont post any of the other trucks up here for the 56k folks haha.

The 77 red convertaburb, only 3/4 ton convertible with a tow package and a 454 bbc you've ever seen right? lol

Green 75 k5 on the farm

http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y26.../truckkss4.jpg

Gold 76 k20 350 th400 np203 on our farm. All original at near 300k, truck never gets stuck and just putputputs around. Good old workhorse

http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y26...ll/Cars/k5.jpg

My 86 k5 post tree falling on the front clip (ice storm). Ive sense straightened the clip out more, got a matching grey hood off another truck, and a good mark grille (will not buy a grille that is not gm, hours with a rat tail and a bastard file making everything fit)

http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y26...s/btruck31.jpg

77 heavy half just like my blue 77 but more optioned out, ac, positrac (if i wasnt going 4x4 in my 77 it would be under my truck now lol)

Not pictured: my dads 73 c20 work truck @ 200k, owned it since it had 40k from a farmer 20 years ago, 73 c20 w/60k. bought from an old farmer, for when my dads 73 is to far gone (green truck in my main picture), 74 3/4 manual steering manual breaks, just a spare work truck for hauling lumber at the house we live on. gold 76 (you can see it in the background of the brown 77), 79 white 3/4, just a work truck, not the nicest when we bought it, not the nicest now, but it was cheap. My brother has an 84 c20 at his house too lol. Oh ya, another 77 heavy half scottsdale i believe down on the farm, tree hit the cab broke windshield and passenger window, but has an 80k mile non-egr 350 that ran great, was a fun drive home with no windshield lol. I think i remembered them all.

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

hell man u wanna sell one of them blazers? :lol:

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

lol no, i may sell my k5 once i pick up a crew cab, but i still need to put a th350 in place of the 700r4, drop the engine from the 75 in my 86 and get it running/driving. Will probably be selling for more than its worth if i ever did, but if you want one there have been a few nice k5s on craigslist lately, if i were you and wanting a 80s model, id pick up a 87-91 so you get the EFI.

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

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

I'm trying to find the 1974 Lime green (M) paint code for my Jimmy the paint code sites don't have it, but the 74 sales brochure shows it. It really doesn't look like lime but I like the color. Can anyone help?

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

Yup she's mine.

Needs some TLC and a bit of lovin. Rust on the rear fenders.. looks like some possible rust under the rubber mat in the corner near the vents on both sides.

I'll be giving her the TLC she deserves.

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

I dig truck porn, it's the best. only cause it won't get you in trouble

Thanks

I just took the camper off & invested 25 hours on sanding the inside of the bed ( as someone mixed concrete in it) primered and rhino lined with a 3" lip on the outside of the bed. I'll update pics soon
