Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Crew Cabs Part II

After trying to purchase a much nicer truck from a fellow member but not being able to make my schedule work, I found this about 30 minutes from my house. Not as nice as I was looking for but for less than $1000 hard to beat. Has 40K on a new 454/th400 combo. Actually was suprised to find these pics in the old crew cab thread from 2013. Needs some love but im excited.

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Crew Cabs Part II

Thank you!!

Some specs: 84 chevy with modified 12v cummins, NV4500, 205 t-case. Rear axle from '04 HD for disc brakes. 6" lift with longer shackles and DIY flip out back. Bilstein 5100 shocks. 20" KMC wrapped with 37x13.5 Toyo MTs. Leather bucket seats from '03 bonneville.

Like I said, it's still a work in progress... I need to do some body work on the box and paint it. There is a long list of things to do yet.

Oh yes, if you didn't notice, it could use some air bags. 1,200 lbs of tongue weight from that camper.

Ordering cross-over steering to help get a sharper turning radius and reduce bump steer.

kevinr1970... yeah not a bad buy I talked him down $600. As far as I could tell the mirror dont move. Iv'e never seen mirrors like them either. On the drive home I was looking at them and seen that there is a small clean weld by the mirror housing.

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Crew Cabs Part II

I'm currently just beginning a body swap between this 88 2wd Crew Chevy and 88 4wd Crew GMC. I was going to convert the 2wd to 4wd and build a 12 valve I had in the garage for it. Then a friend saw my plans on FB and said it would be a pain to swap my 2wd to 4wd why not just buy his project he had lost interest in.

The area between the doors is not visible when the doors are closed, so I doubt there would be any kind of emblem. Would this have been where the wiring for the door would be? You can see in the pic where the wiring comes out just above the lower hinge.

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Crew Cabs Part II

Its been a while since I had last posted. Here is my 1975 crew. My dad finally brought it up from colorado as i am now in ohio. Gotta love the fact that its rare to see a truck of this age with hardly any rust on it here! I have since taken the camper shell off.... that ugly thing was a temp move.

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Crew Cabs Part II

She is home now. New rubber and mufflers tomorrow and hope to be using the truck. Now if I can just keep my wife from making me sell it. With the exception of some rust through behind each front wheel, the truck is rust free. Completely original 46,000 miles. Drove home 215 miles on original tires that sat flat for 25 years and it was one of the scariest drives I can recall. Fresh rebuild on the motor and she is ready to go.

Bonus post. What do y'all think about the 2015 High Country wheels on a Square Crew? Think I'm going to put them on the red/grey one.
