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

camshaftgsxr - give me a minute and I'll look at how many 45 bends there are and how many (and what length) straight pieces there are. I don't know part numbers because they installed the kit on the power tour at one of the stops. Once you have the number of each time of piece you should be able to find what you need to duplicate it though. I'll let you know.

primrrd, and everyone else that asked what the backspacing was.......they are 5" BS front and rear......the rears are 10" wide and the fronts are 8"

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

WOW! BEAUTIFUL truck......simply beautiful. I wish I had one that looked that good stock. Man that thing is nice, I'm jealous! The '87 is no slouch, but that '86 is super sick.

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

They are 255/70/15's not sure about the cost though...

Thanks man, one full coil cut in the front and one leaf taken out of the rear springs. Wish I could take credit for this but my good friend Jeff that I bought it from did the deal.

Pics don't do the 87 justice... Thanks for the kind words man!

[QUOTE=USSkoval;4812088]Looks pretty good... are those D60 hubs poking out up there?



im not sure. but we'll soon find out.

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

The stance on that truck is perfect, I love the rake. What's been done to get it there? The wheels look fantastic on it too.[/QUOTE]

Andy, It's got 2-1/2" spindles with a full coil cut on the front, and shackles and hangers in the back. With the tailgate, back bumper, and tool box it set about an inch lower. I'm glad you like it, but it's just too high in the back for me, so I'm going to flip it real soon and get it a little more level, and it will ride better I'm not putting the tool box back or the heavy bumper. Thanks for the compliment. It doesn't compare to some of the beautiful trucks here.

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

I don't know if this has been clarified, but I am going to guess the trucks on board are 81-82 models and the badge on the tailgate could also be an ESC badge. I had one on my 82..

Speaking of my 82.. the truck on the bottom front looks just like it..

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

Could you post a picture of this on the truck im interested in how you routed it.

Re: How about some pictures of '73-'87 short beds
 

size tire and rims? want to give my truck a street rod look

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

What brand spindles are upfront?? Im glad to know I can keep my 15'x8 Daisies up front and get to use spindles. Dig the wheels!

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

'79 Scottsdale K10, 350, TH350, NP205, 10bolt front, 14bolt rear, 38" dry rotted Swampers, 4" suspension, 3" homemade body lift from red oak blocks and yes it was put through years of Hell and they never busted or rotted.
Not much to look at these days, but years ago she'd clean up nice. my first love. The jackstands keep the rims out of the dirt.
I've got alot of pics before digital age of me in my teens in this truck, only if she could talk. lol

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

My spindles are Belltech 1-1/4" rotors. I had to trim the lower a-arm quite a bit, and the spindles where the caliper goes, but I can run stock 8' rallyes or the Daisys. Thanks


I dig both of those red trucks, they are really nice.

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

this is my 1983 chevy k10. with a 96 Buick road master 350 engine. 3/4 ton suspension. i will be doing some work to it in the future.

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

Hi, I'm new here. Here's a pic of my summertime dd '77 Chev short step, shortly after I bought it 2yrs ago. It is an original blue bucket seat truck but the originals were long gone. It came with tall 80's brown puffy van seats. I yanked them out right away and put in a SE bucket/console/bench combo.

15x8 rallies on the front and 15x10 widened rallies on the back. These were widened in about 1987 and were used for about 5yrs since then, until a month ago.

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

Agreed. That truck looks great. I'd love to see more of it.

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

Heres mine, dont have any pics of it after it was unmasked and had the lil things put back on it but this project is pretty much done now. I dont want to do a lot more to it because sorta gonna be the runner beater whatever you want to call it and the next project im hoping to make nice.

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