Not a new guy, but back on the site. Had a '91 Crew, now a '77 Short daily driver. Currently in the paint stage, as you can see, primer and missing trim...

Good to have you back, 77 shorty looks like a great truck to build, keep us posted on it.

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

I just love those 77's! especially when they still sport their gold moldings. Makes them unique to me. nice ride!

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

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

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

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

Here is a 78 My Dad ordered new. It's been parked for over 20yrs and just last month he finally admitted he wont do anything with it and will sell it to me.
Will be a 700 mile round trip with a trailer.

Here's my '80 GMC. Bought this in Alberta last year. Had to replace the drivers rocker and cab corner, windshield, front rubber brake lines, fix horn and windshield wipers to pass safety. Had new tires installed today on 8+10 in. rallies. I had the rallies widened in the mid 80's. Need to do a wheel alignment on Friday morning, then she passes safety for the gov't.
Then I can drive the wheels off of it. I haven't had a nice set of wheels since 20 yrs ago. That's when the wife and kids came along...LOL!!!
The sleeper is only temporary. I know it should come off, but I was 18 when they came out and I've always liked them on the old square bodies.

I plan on changing the round headlights to the '80 square frontend tonight. I put factory buckets in it too that I had recovered 20yrs ago. I also installed a hidden hitch. I've got lots to do to it in the future, but for now, she's a driver.

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

Beautiful truck! I love the color combination!

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

Let's see some interior shots!

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

You CANNOT get rid of the sleeper! I love it!

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

leave the round headlights! love the color combo.

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

be still my heart!!!! :jdp::jdp:

very cool old rig.

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

Here mine build after 16months, finally got it painted and tires put on.

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

Beautiful truck. I understand your passion for the sleeper, but it over powers the truck.

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

Thanks for the kind words everyone.

The round eyes are still there. I needed to paint the other lower valence before I change over to the other front end...DOH!!

I want to install a newer srw w/the chrome insert and the iconic 80's full rear plastic visor once I take the bunk off.

YES, I'm a child of the late 70's, early 80's!!:lol:

Interior pics at a later date.

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

Beautiful truck, ditch the sleeper.

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

Really nice. I love that you kept the trim under the rear window. Adds some class.

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

Lovin' those wheels.

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

First picture post. My 1983 Silverado. 350/350. True dual exhaust off of factory manifolds. New tires. Plans are 4/5 lowered. It may be a while before that though. My daily for the last 5 years has been an S10 and 5 years before that a 1995 Nissan p/u. I am enjoying sitting up a little higher for now.
