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

rchadhaney, do you have a link to the ebay add? what trans is in it? the 4L60 or 4L80? or is it a T5 or something??

is the engine a 4.8 5.3 or a 6.0? i thought about doing a 5.3 swap in my truck, good gas mileage compared to the 454 and plenty of power!

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

I've seen it @ several local shows. It's nicer than anything I own but for some reason it just doesn't 'flow' for me.

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

On the fender i have been useing photoshop to erase some other ugly stickers that i have removed for real now.
and the side markers were broken so i have done a little photoshop over them.

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

Baddbussa you gotta do a huge write up about that engine swap. Thats badazz
What other plans you got for the truck.

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

No problem strokd84. I second that on the engine swipe. Looks like a Caddy??

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

I had a write up done up on the engine swap, wiring, fuel tank and all. Last april someone broke into my truck and got my laptop, and busted up all my dash to get a 99 dollar cd player:mad:

I am quite a few more plans for it, vintage 4 port a/c kit, smoother firewal, some sort of long tubes, 3/5 drop, front roll pan, in the werks right now is a front my t67 turbo setup..
