Is that a Grant wheel? If so, what series. The grip seems fatter than my Challenger series. Of course I have the hard red metal flake and not the foam.

Looks like a nice starting point. I do think the 454 makes up for the wheels, as long as you let everyone know it has a 454! :lol:

Even the cool trucks in Georgia were made in the Lone Star State.

Seriously though, cool ride. I like the rallies. I would like to see what it looks like at ride height.

That's one sharp truck. What are your plans for it?

ndametz32 06-20-2009 10:01 PM

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds
 
First plan is to lay the rockers on the ground. Then we're going to paint it (A few different color's we're still looking at), re-do the interior, and hope to come home with a few car show trophys.
