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

Yes, it is 4.5" front (2.5" spindle/2" coil) and 6" flip kit in the rear. No C-notch needed.

Thanks man. I eventually want to run some nice GMC dog dish caps, but finding a set I like (that I can afford) has proven to be a chore. The whitewalls are stayin' though The wheel covers are '56 Buick with bullet centers that I had hanging in the garage, the lines of which compliment the truck so nicely, I figured what the hell?

Nice truck maxh! I can't say why but I like this color combo. I think it gives it a cool vintage look.

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

Question on the PlastiDip. What is it and what is the appeal of it? I've heard of people doing it. I've dipped some tools in it. Seems like it would be a real bear to remove if you ever decide to paint.
