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

Picked up this 78 Thursday. Needs some love but has a rebuilt engine and trans. Unfortunately, he rebuilt the factory 305 so that wont stay long. Ordered my spindles, springs, flip kit, yesterday. Trying to decide on what wheels I want now! :lol:

New to the site but have looked at it for years. I had been trying to buy this truck for six years off my brother inlaw he let it set untouched for six years before he sold it to me. Yes I had to see it everytime I went to my inlaws wasting away. I have always wanted a square body shortwide. I got it running and have driven it as a daily driver for the last month just to see what I had runs great and drives great. Now its time to lower it, paint it, and a set of rims. When I went to haul it home my 3 year old son said "my truck" so I guess he thinks he is getting it at 16. :lol: I have an addiction and it chevy trucks to bad my wife doesn't have the same addiction:lol:

That truck looks a lot like the 77 I bought, fixed up, and sold not too long ago. :) Sounds like it will be a fun project. :)

Looks killer. How was the fit on your one piece window kit? What company's did you buy?

Thanks! It's the One Piece Products kit. It fits pretty good, need to do a little fine tuning. Otherwise it's a good kit. Not perfect (at least yet) which some made find a problem based on the price. I don't, as the truck wasn't made for it, so it won't be perfect. Then again, I got mine 2yrs ago and it just sat in the garage until recently installed it so the kit might be updated.

I'm not how well you guys can see the truck, but the pic is pretty old.

The lifted Chevy is my uncle's '85 Stepside. The little blond baby is me, and I'm 20 now so the pic here is pretty old lol. I'm not too sure how big a lift he had on it lol, but it's a nice looking truck. He's still got it, but hasn't tagged it in over a decade because it won't pass California smog.

Lol, I was back home a couple summers ago and where it sits now there's no way to get in for good pics. It sits under the carport collecting dust and spiderwebs. My uncle takes it out and drives it every now and again but not often because it's not legal. I wish I could find more pics of it. If I could get him to take pics of it and send 'em I would lol but I don't want him to go through the stress of moving it just for pics.

You should buy it off of him and register it in your state.

Too long a drive to get it, and if I had the money I probably would, but I don't see him selling it lol
