thanks guys, man, i tried putting my roll pan on at work just now, and it did not fit!! i have to cut it down on the sides about an 1/8'' and the liscense plate housing hits the bed. my brother primered it for me so i cant send it back. i should be able to fix it up though.

This is my Dad's 1984 Chevy C-10 that we bought off a board member (locab 36) about 3 years ago. We have put new rockers, cab corners, hood, fenders, doors and updated the core support to an 89-91 style. We also pulled the 305 and replaced it with a fresh 350 with ceramic headers and new duel 2 1/2" exhaust. It has a fresh patriot red paint. All the above work was done by my dad and me.

Update: New 20" Foose wheels all the way around!!!

why do those hoods always kink like that

3r!c84 11-01-2009 09:27 PM

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds
 
from not oiling up the hinges,they rust up and when you go to close them they fold over like a newspaper

That and the way I understood is that pre-76's (I'm not 100% of the factory fix dates) don't have hood stiffeners @ the hinge mount. I was told they started putting a stiffening brace in from the factory after so many trucks were having the issue.

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds
 
that it right.but in a crash the hood is made to fold up like that.and with the brace there it wont.(just leting you know)

but with the truck and that big bumpper thats not gona be a problem lol
