Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

Here's my '80 in all its Burnt Orange Metallic glory. The side shot is before I put smaller tires on the front and added the roll pan.

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

What size tires did you have on there?
I have 255 60 15's and they look small in the wheel well. Those seem to fill it up pretty good.

ok, I kinda like the way they came off the shelf 2 but since my truck was beat up and already had the back trim, fender badge,side trim, driver side fuel door and rain gutter shaved but they did a poor job and they used body filler to cover the holes so it was fixed the right way and also shaved the state pockets since the bed railes were beat up, and cargo lamp

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

This is my 1984 truck a female friend of mine had it in the shop getting a new fly wheel put on it and she told me if I paid to get it out of the shop I could have it. I was at the shop before she finished getting the words out of her mouth. Cost me 600 bucks and runs great needs some minor stuff. The only major thing I had to fix was the frame at the steering box. It was pulling out like 3 inches.
