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

I havent been on here in a while. I have moved to San Antonio, Tx. I did pick up 78 stepper and built a 402 for it. I know I need to take some better pics. This one is from my cell phone. The spark plug has since been removed from the rad. lol it came with the truck.

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

thank you, you have found an awesome place with great people and TONS of knowledge. if your going to build her up start a build thread so you have documentation for everything you do and plenty of motivation from others comments and advice.

Yes, but I don't know if you can still buy them. I tried to find a set a couple years ago. That was my fav wheel in the 80's.
