That's what I was thinking. A 3/5 or 4/6 drop would look awesome!

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

Some new ones I took today. I swapped steering wheels with the one from my rarely driven 70 K10, and swapped the rally trim rings for a new set of deep ones that I had in the attic. These are the first pics I think I have taken outside since I put the sport rear bumper on.

Has a hard running 434 big block (454 w/ 396 crank) it's built for mud drags, definitely not street use (race fuel is expensive)
