I am picking this one up this week. 86 K10 full load silverado. The previous owner put a 91 clip and power mirror doors on it. I am debating whether to leave the 91 style theme or put it back like classic87's.

Here's a truck that has been running around my area for the past year or so. I finally was able to snap some pics and talk to the owner. I'm not sure of the year, but it's a nice truck. It's equipped with a 350 with a 4 speed. It's got 3:11 in the axle, which is also a Posi unit. I told him that if he ever decides to sell it, let me know. BTW, check out how he did his rallys.

That's a pretty sharp truck. Not too wild about the thing behind the cab. Those rallies are different. Cool touch.

Here some updated pictures for you. 3/4 drop and new rubbers 255-60-15 front and 275-60-15s rear. I can't make up my mind on what wheels to buy so for now I'll keep the old ones. I might take out a leaf, not sure yet.

I actually want to drop it 1 or 2 inchs in the rear. IF I take out spring, which one do you take out? I still want to be able to haul things in it.

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds

I was thinking the same thing lol. But I still want to be able to haul hay in the bed. I don't trust those u-bolts hold that much.

That "thing" is a Lund Racerback. I used to make those years ago when I was employed by Lund Industries. They also made side steps, regualr cab fairings, cab visors, HL/TL covers...and a whole slew of fiberglass bolt on parts that were all the rage in the 90's.

like the stockcar style wheels under it
if you want to do an engine swap down the road you might want to look into nox for this engine
