Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Long Beds Part II
Yeah, it was a challenge in the real soft stuff. Even with the large tires it makes so much low end torque that it just wants to spin. But damn is it fun. It weighs 4,985lbs with both tanks full of fuel.

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Long Beds Part II
Here's my '77 Chebby, standard bed, stepside, 350/th350.
Hope you like it. Got it reasonable, replaced a cracked head with some rebuilt ones from Craigslist. Paid $1k for the broken truck and a hundy for the rebuilt heads that were sitting in someone's garage for a couple of years. I hope you like it. Greg |

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Long Beds Part II
Here’s my 1986 c30 2wd long bed
350v8 4.10 g80 14bolt ff rear All original sheet metal, original paint All glass is original, passenger vent window broken. Pulled out of a storage yard about 6 months ago now not running. Threw it up on the lift had to put in a new flywheel and starter. Since then it’s been running great and my daily driver all lettered up now for my shop!

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Long Beds Part II
Purchased this sweet old girl 24 hours ago... 90K on the clock, 250 cid, three on the tree manual, and the original spare tire, manuals, etc. Going to desmog the 250, tune it up a bit, maybe add a lumber rack. Leaving her a stock as I can, though a Clifford header and an HEI might not be bad additions.
Not bad for $1900!

Trucks was always garaged by the original owner, and has been in a shop for the last several years, too. It has what I believe is the original spare, bias-ply tires with an '84 date-code, and very little damage anywhere.. A small rust spot on the hood lip, and just the tiniest little bubbling along the rear fenders. I'll proabably leave it be for a while, and eventually repair the rust and have it painted, though it'll be the same color. |

Not bad for $1900 Unreal. Love the interior. Paint wheels and hubcaps and you won't recognize it.

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Long Beds Part II
Thanks everyone. There are some truly gorgeous trucks on this site, and it's good to see some familiar avatars.
As for my new ride: I worked long and hard to scratch up some extra coin. Between a mortgage, student loans payments, two kids and a wife--all on a regional trucker's salary--it took some time to squirrel funds away and even more to search out a good buy. For once, patience paid off. |

Looks tough! Square bodies sure do seem to weather well.
