Looks like a good buy on the purple machine, nice project and sounds like powertrain is good.

This is my first post on here. Next Friday we are picking up my truck and it is currently an hour from here. I AM SO EXCITED! I lucked into a 1985 Silverado with a 454 bored out, and from what I understand the rear end has been replaced as it is a lowered truck used for drag racing on occasion. Mr. Hanna has been so loving, he bought this truck for my birthday! My birthday is not even here yet. We are a two Chevy family, and I will post his truck in the 1998 era. Mine will be a project truck with great mechanical structure. His is a 4X4 project from the next era of trucks. These are the only pics I have yet, and she has great bones!:chevy:

Congrats

Nice truck. What size of wheels are on there? I am having trouble selecting height and width, you seem to have it nailed.

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

Dagnabbit, I wish I could take credit, this is the perfect tire, I agree. I am picking up the truck next Friday. It has not been registered since 2008, and I need to have it trailered in. From what I understand the previous owner (he was laid to rest this week) loved this truck and has replaced many parts. The suspension is lowered a bit, and I will let you know the details when I pick the truck up next week. These are Cooper Cobra Radial G/T and I know the truck was raced at the amateur level.

RUN GMC, I'm loving the look man. I thought I was sold on putting 20" wheels on my '86 and then I see your truck. That's a tight look. What's the story with drop, tires, wheels and backspacing?

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

I had a chance to buy it back but couldn't swing it at the time. I saw it with another new owner at Pleasanton Goodguy's car corral last year. He was asking 18,500 :lol: and I think its still in my area...
Yes, I see your in Santa Rosa...small world neighbor....what should I be looking for ?

Very Nice

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

Don't laugh the guy probably got his asking price or close to it that 77 of yours looked really sweet. I was up in Lake county a couple of months ago and this kid (late 20's) came up to me just drooling over mine kept insisting he wanted to buy my 77. I am not selling it for any price. But to shut him up I told him 30k. He was surprised but said it would take him a couple of months to get. Shocked, I told him don't bother I won't sell it.
You may have seen mine in Windsor. I spend enough time at the Pick N Pull there. :lol: Here is a photo. the sliding window came out this week a solid back glass is in it now.

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

That's sweet...next time in Windsor hit me up...I live on Gumview about a mile from P&P.
There are a few in the area and I always strain my neck checking them out. Like the wheels also
