LOOKS GOOD,I'M WORKING ON A 87 MY SELF!:c2:

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

OK not as nice as the ones above but what do you expect for a 21 year old paint on a red truck here in phoenix, but hopefully that will change after my son gets his truck out of my garage

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

i say the red truck is perfect looks great. I would be proud to drive that truck

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

Thanks, 3" drop spindles with 2" drop coils and a rear flip kit. Tires are 275 60 R15s on 8" ralleys.

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

That red truck is nice. That sun can do damage to your dash also.

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

Thanks -well 86 the only damage i have is when the idiots stole the stereo out of it, I have a dash-mat to keep the dash from being to damaged. You can see where the black primer shows through on the hood.

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

some dick head did the same thing to my truck last april, they tore everything up. I am just now getting to replace it.

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

Yeah i'm just replacing mine also, I may have to add a metal plate around the opening, they bent it pretty bad when they pryed it out w/ a crowbar, after they popped the wing window out. My wife ahd it installed as an anniversy present, lasted one month before stolen.

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

can not friggen have anything....they pryed the bottom metal part of my dash out probably 10 inches, I was able to bend it back but they busted the hell out of the gauge cluster, bezel and dash. I had a dakota digital fixing to go in it, glad it didnt

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

ill say it again put sharp object(aka razorblades) behind the dash near radio. thatll stop them im still need to do it to mine had it in my other truck but no one stole it really wanted to see if it worked. :)

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

I feel your pain, through the board I was able to find a used bezel in real good shape, I may get everything done hopefully this weekend.

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

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

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

cool truck for sure

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

Pimpin with the Budweiser fan shroud lol!

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

Mike-nutt where did he cut the frame? Any pics?
Malo83 what are you painting it back to original?

Both nice looking rigs.

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

I believe malo83 was saying somthing about a silver color..

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

I'm really diggin' those crew cab shortbeds. I may have to build me one of them some day.

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

I finally got my truck to go with my short BED.

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

Was about to say that, lol :D I gotta get creative with mine too, I don't have a shroud so I gotta figure out something else tho.

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

Search for recent posts by ojoe (*EDIT look here). He has posted detailed pictures of the how he did it.

mike nutt; speaking of his crew-swb projects, the red one pictured was a dually in the last pictures he posted. At least the front end was. Any idea about what he did for that?
Also, from what I have read the 1 ton frames are quite different from the 1/2 ton frames. Curious about how he grafted the frames together for that.
I guess I'll find that thread and post that question there.

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

kevin1970, there are some pics post of the frame at the back of this post http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=218953 ,the red truck and the black one both started out as one ton crewcabs . the black one got a complete 1/2 ton front crossmember , the red one got 1/2 ton upper and lower a-arms with drop spindles .the rear frames were both cut and 1/2 ton shortbed frame sections were added . hope this helps , mike

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

Here's my old truck....sold it a few years ago.:( Kept the 454 I built for it though!;) The new owner has made a few "questionable" updates.......

I miss it!:whine:

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

is that a 74 ? looks like a 79 front.your putting the fleetbed on that truck.i'm a little confused.:confused: but that should look sweet when your done.

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

sisters boyfriends crew cab shorty, posted this one and its 1/2 ton sister before.

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

Yes it is a 74 with a later front end. I will be returning it to a 74 front and replacing the stepside with a fleetside bed.

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