Here are 2 of my squares. C10 is 5.3/4L80 swapped with a 4 link coil over rear suspension. The K10 is stock except for the 4.8 swap under the hood.

‘84 GMC a couple months ago. I’ll get around to swapping the grill back to GMC one of these years.

I don't think '84 GMC grill is reproduced by any of the aftermarket companies. I have never been able to find one.

When I bought the GMC it had a smashed up tube grill in it so I stuck in a Chevy grill I had for the time being. When I decided to look for a GMC grill several years back I decided I wanted an '85 and newer grill as I think they look better. It was actually pretty hard to find one in good shape with in grill blinkers but I finally found one in Ohio that another board member had. It's been up on the loft railing ever since. Hopefully next year.

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

Man I love Reno go about 4 to 5 times a year for the past 40 years. One problem it is sure changing a lot. Love the city more than the lake other than the obvious the lake itself. I am a gambler I prefer Reno over Vegas anytime . One drawback non stops from Houston are limited to winter only, so one stops are a challenge. great looking truck

Thank you, Reno has changed alot, use to be a small town. I've moved here from Virginia City in 1976.

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

Please do. I buy parts from outback. got my used seat belts there and new dash and other things.

If you live in the Houston Area check outback out for parts. Nice inventory and friendly knowable people.
