Before and After(during) my build...

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

Dude, I cant even begin to say how awesome that deal and that truck are. thats EXACTLY what I wanted to make my 79 look like, which I unfortunately had to sell. Perfect stance, Love the original rims, and damn that is some straight sheet metal!

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

Thanks, we"ll see how it cleans up. Maybe I'll start a build thread when I start.

My 76 C15, paid $800 and drove it home. 350 4brl, turbo 350, 12 bolt rear. Seat recently redone and the A/C even works. Only things that don't work is the clock, cruise control and the washer pump.

I want to change the mirrors, get some chrome center caps, rear sport bumper and lower it a little bit. Install headers and dual exhaust, thinking 2 1/2 exiting out in front of the rear tires. Have an older Weind dual plane manifold that was given to me that I will eventually throw on as well.

Looks killer Matt

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

Thanks guys, its about a 6/8 drop. Wheels are 22x8.5 front with a 255/35/22 tire. The rears are 22x10 with a 285/30/22 tire.

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

absolutely loving the new look!

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

Would you happen to know the offset of front and rear wheels?

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

Offset, no. Backspace yes. I had them do a 5.25" backspace on the front and a 5.5" backspace on the rears.

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

nice, thanks a lot

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

Those numbers are perfect.

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

they certainly look perfect!!!! what rear end do you have?

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

Just the stock 10bolt.

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

man that looks sweet. great choice of wheels!

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

Hello from North Dakota! Here's my 83 K10 4x4 short box I picked up last week. New 350/700R4, with 31.5 BFG's on Rallys, slight lift, Warn locks. It currently has a leer topper on it but I'm gonna ditch that once the winter is gone. Got it mostly for a hunting rig but it's getting me around in the North Dakota winters quite well as a daily driver as I park my Accord. Is yellow but I'm not complaining, these K10 short boxes are getting harder to find in this part of the country.

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

Cool truck, I like the paint matched wheels!

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

My 2 projects, the 80 2wd (canopy is gone, lol, thank god) I have had for almost ten years it has been a very faithful truck to me and since the motor blew this summer it is finally getting tore down for the build I always had planned for it. The 79 4x4 I just picked up fr $500 original 400 eninge, auto trans and tranfer case have about 70,000 on full rebuild, so far i got it running but the timing seems off a bit and I need to replace the hard fuel line as it has a leak in it (got it running it off a gas can to the fuel pump). I may get off my lazy butt and start a thread for them both, (slow progress of course, lol)

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

my brothers 87 with 73 front end. 358 dirt modified engine 400 turbo, locked dana 60 front, locked 14 bolt rear.

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

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

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

the blue and white 2 tone looks great and even better with the matching ralleys

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

whos truck is this?i would like to know what they did toy the origanal door panles to get this?

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

thanks, I love it with the rally wheels also, I am going to keep it pretty much like that appearance wise the only decision is to lower it or not, I flip flop on that one alot.

I had to replace the glove box and stashed the tag from the original, when I find it i will shoot you a message with the paint codes

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

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

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