The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network - How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds

yeah the truck has drop spindles and 3" springs up front and the rear just has a 6" flip kit. The wheels are 20x9" and 20x10" American racing Torque thrust II's with the grey centers. Yeah... torque thrusts... ever seen those wheels before. Haha :rolleyes:

Seriously, this is how I want my truck to look. I would love to have the factory grill back. The P/O changed it for a chrome on and I've always hated them. Love the trim too! And being a UT fan, that color is perfect.........:lol:

Decided I would start a (square body club) group on Facebook. If any of you are on face book and would like to join up, I thought I'd let you know. There are a lot of people doing the face book thing these days and I thought it would be a good way of reaching and getting together more of us square body guys and gals..here is the link if any of you are interested.
