I know, I still need to lower the front and get wheels/tires, tubs & spray-in liner and install the sport mirrors and it should be done.








Then it's on :metal:

Did you decide on wheels yet? It's looking great now, but i can't wait to see it with some nice wheels!

Most likely something custom built in 20x14 in the rear and 18s in the front.

Here's a photoshop I did to get an idea. I know it sucks but it was quick to just get a feel of what I possibly would like. And I'm sure the size of the wheels are not scaled accurately but it's suppose to be 18s and 20s.

I wouldnt do 18's in the front with 20's on back... it would make the front look higher than it really is

That is a very clean and nice shorty!
The mirrors are the same i use on my longbed!They look nice but they donīt help much when backing up or trying to see anything in them!

BIGARMZZ,

Looks good! Too bad you got rid of it. Do you mind me asking how much it was dropped and what size wheels and tires were you ruinning?
I'm 3/4 dropped and haven't purchased wheels and tires yet. Still have a ways to go for that.
Thanx!

Looks like you need a new front air deflector. Check out a Keystone retailer. They got them for around $15 bucks. Nice truck by the way.

I am going to clean this thread up so it's easy to navigate. If you have posted in here please make sure your pics are still there. I plan to delete any dead posts in the next few days. Keep the '73-'87 short beds pics coming.

I have three in my garage just like that.
At least one is a Lund brand. I would try them.

I bought that one from my brother in law. I believe he got it from LMC. I'm not sure though. I'll have to ask him.:ito:
