what are the names of the colors you chose? they look dead on!!!

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

Haha ya its pretty close. Off the top of my head im pretty sure the colors are GTS dodge viper blue and the grey is '86 chevy truck paint. I painted it in 2004 the same year i did a full frame off on it. What are your colors? Oddly enough when i first painted it i wanted to put a lime green pinstripe on it to break the blue and grey kinda like what you have with the flames.

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

if im correct the viper blue and the blue i used (dodge electric blue pearl) are very similiar if not the same thing, it looks differnt at night and day, i added a little extra pearl and it looks amazing in the sun, the silver i used was just a BC145 Diamont toner, mine looks the same outside, the blue looks deep under lights at night, and im glad you didnt do the green, or we'd have a prob, lol, its hard to see, but i hav a pinstripe on there also

Here is my 85' with phantom grill dropped 6 inches in the front via coils and spindles, flip kit in the back. It has 54 Cadillac Eldoraldo lights roll pan front and back, and sitting on 22's with 265/35/22 Nexxen tires.

i like the brown!!

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

Finally got rid of the white Cragars. Replaced with 17" Billet Specialties GTX40's, 255/60/17 front and rear. Thinking of going with a wider tire in the rear, but not sure how wide I can go on an 8" wide rim.

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

Your truck is very nice, pwallace! Rims look super sweet!

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

Beautiful truck. You can go with a 275 easy. You might be able to get a 295 on there.

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

Thanks guys. Im hoping to go at least a 275 in the back. Plus im having some rubbing issues in the front, hopefully some trimming to the inside of the fender lip will fix that. I found these rims and tires used so I took a gamble on the backspacing and tire width.

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

some new pics

pardon them, they are from my cell phone :-)

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

ocbaud, that is eye candy! Love the color combination. I am convinced on Torq Thrust wheels now after completing my 4/6 drop. Are those 17's? Specs on the tire size and drop?
