Ya hold on to it if you ever plan on building one that year GMC. Or pay the $25 so you can sell it here, you will easily get your $25 back if its in good shape....

It's in fairly good shape 2 of the bars are missing IIRC, and the paint is faded but there's no major cracks in it and everything is there. I got a guy who want's to trade it for a grill for my truck, so that works perfect.

That is a DAM good looking truck, would love to see more.
Hows the 10" clear 38s? I'm looking to put 38s on my 87 but was originally hoping to use an 8" lift. What brand of lift do you have?

I am a new member, and I wanted to share my '84 long bed with everyone. I have got so much helpful info on this site to make her the way she is.

Big thanks to everyone!

Here are a few pics....

That's a sweet truck!

Sweet truck dude! Is that black or dark blue? Do you have pictures of restoring it?

ky_kid 07-29-2011 03:24 PM

Re: How about some pics of 73-87 Long Beds?
 
It's midnight blue with a carolina blue pinstripe. The bottom section of blue paint is rubberized paint to prevent rock chips etc. I had that done along with rhino lining for the bed.

I don't really have any pictures of restoration. Honestly there wasn't much "restoration". It has low miles and hardly any rust to speak of. A little underneath the floor of the bed that's about it. Even has the original seat upholstery with no tears! Although I could use a new dash pad (who couldn't)

I just did the dash light upgrade I found on here with some white paint and #168 bulbs. Awesome results!

Is that a stock suspension height? What size are those wheels/tires? My 87 2500 looks just a touch lower and I like how yours sits. I will try to get a picture up. Thanks.

If I did this right you should see is a pic of my 87 GMC 2500. Bought in 97, painted in 2000 with lots of replaced parts, doors, front bumper, grill, fenders, etc.

The PO put a 2 inch body lift on it because the cab has the small hump and wouldn't clear the transmission at stock height. And those are 33's, but here pretty soon I'm puttin 36's on it.

I may try the add-a-leaf method on mine to get another inch or two.

My new Daily driver while I fix my 76 K20 up with a 465/205 combo. '87 R10 305 TH400 w/ 2.73s. Fuel economy hovers around 20. I absolutely love it. Unbelievable compared to the 8 or so i got out of the 76. All original faded Lamp black w/ factory air and 78,000 original miles! She isn't shiny but it is a very solid truck, very little rust, original owner was a Police Department.
