Yes,
Yes you are.

I've always loved the original artillery wheel. About as "hot rod" as you could get. I was glad to see they were being reproduced.

And I love that truck!!

Here's my project - overall fairly straight. Got the interior gutted right now, then it's on to the engine. The body has a few rust areas and shoddy repair work (previous owner) I need to address but overall I'm happy with her look. I plan on dropping her a few inches and add some bigger tires (undecided on how big and what tires) but I have to be careful as I need the bed to be functional and able to carry a full load.

Smoke Dog - a trailer would be nice but then I should have bought a Chevelle. Besides I convinced my wife I needed this truck for work and she's the one who controls the lady parts...

Here's my '82 my friends call "Show Plow" because I did a frame off on my snow plow truck. Yeah the plow needs some work too.

a lot of parts there!...anyone who were to grab this would be smart!

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds
 
That truck would be worth a small amount over crush value actually. One door and one bedside and a tailgate (maybe) is left for useable sheet metal, the rest would have to be in mint interior pieces.

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds
 
$1000 and it would be a deal for parts
