Re: How about some pics of 73-87 Long Beds?
 

Had this same looking truck (77 as well) when I was 18, rolled it end over end 2 times and down into a ravine 5 or 6 more times. Loved the look of that truck but that sucker tried to kill me...lol

Looks great.

Yep, I had already swapped out the narrow 14B dually rear for a wide D70HD and bought 1 dually bed for it but decided I'd rather just have a crew cab.

sounds like a wild ride. I'm surprised that you didn't fire that old gem back up and drive it right back out of the ravine.

Re: How about some pics of 73-87 Long Beds?
 

Love it!

"Morning wood"
What do you mean by that? Lol!
Looks great with those torque thrust wheels.

Re: How about some pics of 73-87 Long Beds?
 

Thanks guys. Yeah the "Morning Wood" door art usually cracks people out when they figure out the joke. Lifes too short to be serious all the time!

Re: How about some pics of 73-87 Long Beds?
 

Love the hole look of it

Sorry guys. That should read that the door art cracks people UP. People cracking out would be entirely different!

Very cool truck. I like it both with the 5 spokes and the caps. How low is it?

Re: How about some pics of 73-87 Long Beds?
 

Thanks. Not sure exactly how much the truck went down but I did an axle flip in the rear and cut the front a full 2 coils . I was able to move the top a-arms out enough to get my camber back to normal. The truck still drove well with one exception. My axle would hit the frame on any moderate bumps. I was going to c-notch it until I realized that the center section of the rear would hit the bed floor. That was not going to cut it because when I first got my truck home and took out the bed liner I was greeted with a perfect bed! I mean not a mark except where the paint was rubbed a bit. Zero rust and not a dent anywhere!

I really liked the look of the truck as a 3/4, steel wheels, hub caps and all but for a better ride and better wheel selection I picked up a 1/2 ton parts truck for free and purchased a set of 3/4 ton to 1/2 ton, 2 1/2'" dropped spindles from Early Classic Industries with the stock coils cut 1 1/2 turns. Used the 1/2 ton rear springs with flip. So I'm I'd say that it's down about 8" from stock.

Re: How about some pics of 73-87 Long Beds?

Re: How about some pics of 73-87 Long Beds?

Re: How about some pics of 73-87 Long Beds?

Here's my truck... I posted it here before but here it is lowered a bit. Gonna lower the front about 2 more inches to make it even with the rear. Then comes paint!

Re: How about some pics of 73-87 Long Beds?
 

What did you use to drop it? I want mine about what you got but even like you said.
