Ohchilit, Very nice!!! Looks a little like mine (page 4). I really like the original grill, which mine does not have, but will soon. Can you tell me about your wheels & tires, I really LOVE those!!

Here are a couple of mine.
It's a 1977 Silverado C/10 built in Fremont Ca. Sold in San Rafael Ca. She is still sporting her original paint and has only 110,000 on the odometer. I am the 2nd owner. The original owner used to show it till his death in 2006 his wife gave it to her son in law, who drove a year till he blew the trans then is sat till I bought it 6 months ago. I am going to bring her back to her street rod days of circa. 1980. last photo is the day I got her home. |

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds Part II
This is what I started out with a while back - '87 GMC the PO had totally re-badged into a Chevy, with a 50 foot'er paint job and blue interior:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v5...k/DSC_5653.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v5...k/DSC_5656.jpg I wanted something a bit different, and, while it's not done just yet (and it's pretty dirty), this is the direction I took: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v5...k/DSCN0420.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v5...k/DSCN0422.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v5...k/DSCN0424.jpg Oh, yeah - that nasty chin spoiler was reinstalled by mistake, and is coming off...

That's a tight looking truck! I got an '86 that's about to get a 4/6 drop and new wheels/tires. Your truck's stance is what I'm looking for. But I'm still not quite sure of the wheel backspacing. What's the b/s on yours? |

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds Part II
Am I the only one that looks a bit strange a car that really sits on the ground?. To me it look like the suspension broke ...Well everyone has their own taste ;-)

I have to agree. My brother wants me to "Bag" mine, but I absolutely refuse. I think it looks silly. I can't fathom spending money on that and those wheels & tires when obviously the money could be spend on things it really needs. But hey, thats just me. |
Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds Part II
I also like the patina look!

Nice trucks. Can't get my pictures to show up.

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds Part II
Yep...that is cool, not for where I live but cool, sure not like the same, same as what everyone else has, thumbs up to you man.:cool:
|
Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds Part II
Cool i post my truck and get one comment and when someone post a lowered pile with ugly rims the whole board wakes up, what has this world come too its a truck not a car. Sorry if i offended anyone i guess i am to old to see the beauty in it and this is why i left before.

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds Part II
Im old, but I still like my trucks on the ground. I like driving windey roads way too much to deal with some top heavy truck wallowing around corners. That being said, I also use my trucks as trucks. Thats the cool thing about bagging a truck; you can have your cake and eat it too. Having an adjustable suspension that rides good, I dont know, I just dont see a down side. I can set the ride height and ride quality I want from the drivers seat, and I can compensate for whatever load I want to put on it. Or, if I get a wild hare up my backside, I can set it off the pavement at the height of my sidewalls and cruise through town. Nope, no downside that I can see....

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds Part II
Your right, no downside. Looks stock or lower it and looks super cool. Think it shows taste and not a boring ride like so many, but everyone likes something different and to me they all have a cool factor in "their" own way.:sexy:
|
Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds Part II
Thanks everyone. I do plan to keep the truck patina all but the interior. I am going to restore the interior back so stock except a billet steering wheel. Bags are defiantly the way to go.

JChurchill, Do your thang Brother. Everyone has different tastes and that's a good thing. It's your truck so make it, build it, and drive it like you wanna!
|
Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds Part II
MSL is a bit heart broken I guess with not enough looks, every truck has it's personality, all cool on here, lifted, lowered, in between, old, new ugly, fake patina...all trucks bro. Gotta love a Chevy.:chevy:
