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

Guys, sorry for the late reply, been busy at work, I found a pic of the shakle flip. I also put on a pic of my 69 Z/28 that I have owned for almost 30 yrs. It has a blown 502 in it!

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

Anyone have the article handy on the yellow and white Hills/LMC truck? I looked at Hill's site and it doesn't have the press coverage any more.

I am curious what size tires it has on it. I'm pretty sure those posted are 22's but need the tire size.

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

Hey N2trux. I happen to have the street truck mag that it was first featured in sitting beside me. The rims are 20 inch Billet Specialties Vintec Dish. As far as what size the rubber is, it doesnt say. Hope that helps
