You did good..... no, great at that price!! :metal:

What size are the front tires? I like where they sit in the wheel well opening. Actually, I like the stance all around.

That is a rally good deal on that white truck. I like the painted grille. I usually don't but with the chrome grille inserts and bumper it fits really well.

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds
 
Prices are down right now in CA, it's a good time to buy if one can afford it. You probably went on a Carnival cruise out of Long Beach, right next to the Queen Mary. Been outta that port on a Carnival ship many times! Goodtimes.:metal:

I'd just drop the alcoholic in it and run it! You cant even find guys that can paint like that anymore, preserve a relic my friend! lol Pinstripe the hell outta the pickup in the boat colors and be the talk of the launch ramp..........:c2:

sangermike 07-09-2009 01:48 AM

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds
 
you can bet that some how the two will have similarities in the paint you cant see it but the truck is pearl white. i like this color combo.

Yep I've heard of Surf City Garage, not sure where their at. CA is alot like Fl? Thanks, you just saved me a few grand on a vacation, I'll skip Fl. LOL

Port of L.A. is right next door to Long Beach, hard to tell the difference. Never been on a Royal cruise but heard it's a little nicer then Carnival. I'll have to post pics of my "new" 73 step side I made outta my '84 tomorrow. :two:

pilzy1 07-09-2009 01:54 AM

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds
 
Ok I like that new boat paint!! It looks really nice, I can see the pearl, a big fan of pearl & ghost stripes too, job well done! I'm partial to gold (boats old paint job) since my bigrig is gold and pretty soon my pickup will be matching gold too.:metal:
