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

My free 79 454/400 c20 camper special.

Owner claimed broken crank, I found there was only one loose bolt holding the flexplate to the torque converter....

Also has shocks between bed and cab? Along with holes that lead to a threaded part for what I assume is camper tie downs never seen that before. I can take pictures

Glad you saved the truck, the shocks are cool, especially the in box type, have seen the outside shocks but never the box to cab shocks, even have a built in slot for the cab to box movement.

Shock absorbers between cab and bed are factory, they were an option for camper specials. Additionally the brackets at the ends of the front fenders are factory and were for forward shock absorbers up to the camper overhang. There is also camper tie-down brackets that pass through the bedsides.
