[QUOTE=3r!c84;4178650]dude thats looks the same as mine. (- the wheels)

Believe me, Ive seen at least 4 trucks IN MY AREA that look alot like mine.:lol:
Ah well it is a very common color.

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

Here's my shorty. An OG 1978 250 I6 with three on the tree.:metal:

It was original right down to the 1978 shocks. So Far I've pitched the shocks, and added a 1.25" front sway bar off a suburban.

My plans are lowering it, adding a 5spd from a 4.3 S10, and AC.

Here is my 1986 C10

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

Thats way cool you found one thats still so original

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

That WAS the color of my truck. :metal: Awesome!

DON"T LAUGH!

(My feelings might get hurt) :haha:

I bought this truck this past weekend for my winter project. Up here in Alberta, Canada these trucks usually go for $1,000 + in bad shape and anywhere from $2,500 + in decent shape. Good shape (even with bad cab corners, they are asking $5,000 to $6,000 + on www.kijiji.ca)

So, I paid $750 for an '87 Silverado with power everything, 305 TBI, 4 speed automatic. I already have two new doors, new windshield, new tailgate & rims from another project and I can get panels for the rest fairly cheap.

Plans are to go to a streetable 383 (from a solid 350 I already have from my parts truck), rebuild the tranny, etc etc but to start with a strip down and get the frame blasted and painted before it snows here.

Basically, I want something that I can fit in my garage and work on in the winter as I can't do anything on my driveway any time of year because my old-retired alcoholic neighbor is a lunatic that calls city by-law on me regularly.

Old prick! (Maybe that's what I should call this truck!) :fry:

Did you buy that truck in San Gabriel? I've seen one like that in a driveway for years. I am not telling the street unless this is the one.

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

I am trying to figure out more information about putting the 88-98 beds on these trucks.. I have one currently on my 67 and I am selling it.. a guy called me about putting it on a 85... He was worried about the gas tank that is on the outside of the frame.. do any of you know what would have to happen or if these beds clear? Please PM so I dont highjack this thread but I saw the picture of one here on page 6..
