I dropped it with 2 1/2 inch drop spindles and 2" drop coils that were cut to get the stance lower. The rear is a flip kit with c-notch and 2 inch blocks.

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

Here's a picture of my short bed. 83 C10 with 53k original miles, Mcgaughy 4.5/7 kit. 15X8 Rallys, and 275/60/15's. I'm going to put a picture of my super sweet 1 ton regular cab in the long bed section.

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

Here is a most recent picture of my 87 SWB. Was taken at the local car show in the fall. Since October it's just collecting dust in my garage safe from the North East winters
Enjoy!!!
