i agree to a point... but only in pictures. i've seen the real deal on a flawless black paint job in person and its amazing. pictures never seem to do real flames justice at all. imo of course

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

Here some pics off my old one(1984 Siverado Long bed)...







And now some of my new buy from 2 week ago(1985 Silverado Short bed)...

Overhall in pretty shape, need a bit of work, A/C Cruise and Door lock need to be looking at and also some bizarre wirring, nothing that need major repair

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

Chlsnk, that swap looks awesome!

Here are pics of my 87. Did all the body work and suspension work before leaving to Wichita Falls, TX, Sheppard Air Force Base for my military training. Will return to CT in February. Will prep for paint at that time!

His mother made them for him. I think they have some sentimental value to him. I thought the exact same thing the first few times... but they grow on you! Some people think they are absolutely kick ass.
His truck is definately different from the norm. Who knew 17s could be pulled off so well?

lol a stock 84 or the chrome tube grille he has in it now? he's got both. He won't let me do it though. I'd have to buy the whole front clip new aftermarket, can't find any old metal around here that aint trash.
