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

Thanks for the compliments guys. i really appreciate it. its just your standard (budget drop) 3 inch spindles in the front and wacked off some coils. the back is flipped and lowering blocks. wheels r 20x7 coys up front with 225-35s and backs r 20x10s with 275-40s. its funny ,this truck has been painted for about 7 years now and ive gotten more compliments on the paint in the last week than all the years before just because of the wheels.lol. im really happy with how it looks and rides at this point. tires are a bit small for me in front but im doing some research for a taller tire. ive been told the 225-35 is the ONLY tire that will fit that rim. i refuse to believe it .

i found out early in my years of owning a driverslicence and cars that wheels make a car look better more then anything else
paint a truck matt black and its just a matt black truck put some coys under there and the truck is a potentional hot rod

MAN. it sure is nice to chat with NICE people. i appreciate all the comments. My local forum here in town is full of "world class truck builders" that would never tell you that youve done a good job on something or give u props for a nice vehicle. I just think i might have found a forum that has down to earth people. i have a feeling that ill b spending alot of time chatting with u all. thanks!!!

This forum is like a family. We have a broad range of members. The majority of us are average builders, and enthusiasts like yourself. We have some professional guys, and also have some guys, like all of us at one time, just getting into the hobby that don't know too much. So we've been there. Glad to know you found a new home, and from all of us here Welcome! ;)

That's sharp coondog. Welcome to the boards.

What are the stats on the truck? Suspension, engine, interior, history...

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

Does anyone else agree with me that these trucks look best with all 4 headlights on at one time?!?!?!?!? Nice Truck Coondog. I used to have a coonhound dog and I was born in 1981. LOL

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

Looks nice!!! What have u done to it?

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

This truck is a 1981 GMC, I bought this truck from a family friend with 55,000 miles on the factory straight 6. I installed a freshly rebuilt 350 with a mild cam, Headers, 2 1/4 inch pipes with stage 2 flow masters and a 350 Transmission. 3 inch DJM drop spindle for the front, DJM 5 inch axle flip kit in the rear, 15 inch rally wheels, beauty rings and centers wrapped in 275/60/R15 Cooper Cobra G/T's. I plan on painting this truck very soon.
