Re: How about some pictures of '73-'87 short beds
 

c/l is just filled with these today here's a flamed 76

Re: How about some pictures of '73-'87 short beds
 

i wonder how hard that swap was....

Re: How about some pictures of '73-'87 short beds
 

That could be Fall City or Elbe too...

Re: How about some pictures of '73-'87 short beds
 

Ya know i agree withyou but if you saw this car up close I'd have a better chance of building my own complete car form scratch than I would have restoring that car. It's got some serious rust damage. I am gonna make it a hot rod and leave it at that. Early Chevys are a rare find but I couldn't pass up this rust bucket. And I'd rather not have a Model A like everyone else. That's just me.

And YES a Brass Era car would be awesome!!!

Thanks for the compliment on the truck. I have to admit after finishing everything up I have a little piece of me leaving with that truck:whine: Now that it is completely finished it looks amazing in person. When the sun hits it, it turns into a glowing fireball!! I wil miss it but on to bigger and better things..

Re: How about some pictures of '73-'87 short beds
 

It's a cool truck, like all the chrome, and the fog lights in the bumper don't look outta place like many other models would. As for the grille, the one you have is actually way cooler than a model-correct one like mine :D

Re: How about some pictures of '73-'87 short beds
 

Thanks. I love this truck. Bought it on e-bay with no engine/trans/transfer. It had a Western snow plow bracket on the front and no bumper. I bought the new brackets and that bumper from LMC. I'm going to post a review about it on the board some day. The rest of that chrome was on it already, and I have no idea where the piece above the grill on the front of the hood came from, but I'd love to find out. Someday I have to peel all that off and re-paint.

Re: How about some pictures of '73-'87 short beds
 

It is an aftermarket hood protector. Not sure who made it, but I have seen them every now and again.

Re: How about some pictures of '73-'87 short beds
 

...and they were often used to cover rust holes. :(

Slonaker

Re: How about some pictures of '73-'87 short beds
 

HA HA! No rust holes but the dumb thing is bent on both sides:(

I posted the review on that bumper for anyone interested in installing one.

Sorry guys had to post up pics with the new wheels.

Re: How about some pictures of '73-'87 short beds
 

Yep, I've been steadily working on it for the past few months now compared to it sitting for almost a year after being painted. All I really have left is to lower the front 4", wheels/tires, finish widening rear fenders, spray-in liner, exhuast (I have the mufflers and cut-outs already), install billet vacuum canister, billet overflow tank, I'm in the process of doing a grille swap from a phantom billet grille, install the GM "sport" mirrors (yea I know I shaved the factory mirrors), finish wiring up all my Auto Meter Pro-Comp gauges and install my reupholstered 91 Suburban buckets. Should be good to roll by then.

Yep, click on the link in my sig. We've been talking about it in there.

Here's what I'm wiring up tomorrow...

I like it!

Re: How about some pictures of '73-'87 short beds
 

Lots of nice trucks!

Re: How about some pictures of '73-'87 short beds
 

Here's a few pictures of my project. Its an 84 - 468 / 350. 12 bolt with 373. I want to bag it, but Im running low on the $$$ for now:( . When its all put back together the front end should sit about 1 inch lower than the back (I HOPE):rolleyes: . When I get more time Ill post some pictures of the rest of the build. Its down to just the frame right now. I love every thing about these trucks!!!:metal:

Re: How about some pictures of '73-'87 short beds
 

Another of the many ppl i envy on this site lol!

Re: How about some pictures of '73-'87 short beds
 

Is the tailgate you have molded in, or is it functional? I've kinda been looking for a new tailgate... I'm bored with the perfectly flat shaved one that I have. Did you just buy the the skin, or have it custom made?

Re: How about some pictures of '73-'87 short beds
 

Heres a few from a car show in Lethbridge Ab. Can. Pics are not the best quality, but you get the idea. Ofcourse i had to add a pic of my two trucks :hm:

Re: How about some pictures of '73-'87 short beds
 

Like the blue & grey 80.

Re: How about some pictures of '73-'87 short beds
 

Its functional. It was already on the truck when I bought it. But I have seen them in the Classic Industries catilog on page 400. This is a little better picture of the rear.

Re: How about some pictures of '73-'87 short beds
 

IM liking that brown one with the cragars!

Hey bro, you can't link to a file that's on yer computer, you gotta upload it somewhere on the net first - CarDomain and SuperMotors specialize in vehicles seem to be pretty popular for that kinda stuff.

Re: How about some pictures of '73-'87 short beds
 

I just figured that out! Thanks!

Let's try this:
