New to this forum, just picked up my first truck (well if you don't count a Jeep as a truck).

Re: How about some pics of 73-87 Long Beds?

Picked this one up recently. It only has only 3600 KM's and was used as a water hauler for a (very) small town fire department. Pretty rare to see a truck like this in my neck of the woods with ZERO rust. It is bone stock inside, just how i like em . I've owned many of these old trucks but this one takes the cake for me. I plan on installing a rear bumper and removing the rotating emergency lights / door decals then a good wet sanding. I'll post some new pics once I start the mild restoration.

Fire trucks are the treasures of these trucks.

Thanks. I'm getting things lined up to start working on my 86, and just fell in love with that color.

Re: How about some pics of 73-87 Long Beds?

Not a great day for photos, but good enough. Repainted this one 7 years ago to original colors. It's a Bonanza that had the side trim, but had that taken off with the repaint. Bought this BRAND NEW 37 years ago. Wow, $5500 and $125 a month payments. Thought that was a big load to carry back then. Ha. Added the tool box off my newer truck and had it painted to match. Still runs nicely and the AC works with a conversion to 134. Just keep her driven every week or two to keep things charged and the tires from rotting. Original engine and tranny. About 85K miles. Renewed the upholstery to original and a new dash pad, carpet, and such. Installed some urethane bushings under the cab which makes her ride very solid. I still enjoy having her around and will keep till I die or need some money! haha

Re: How about some pics of 73-87 Long Beds?

Have to say it always makes me smile when i see a truck like the day it was born, so clean and like it was yesterday, kind of cool. Wish I could do that at times, i alter everything, to much hotrod in me but appreciate every style.

Bonanza is close to mine. It's got one repaint too. Had those wheel covers when I bought her.

I like the chrome between the 2 colors a lot better, breaks it up nicely.
