Thanks Cogged!!!

Plans include 5/7 drop, c notch, 20" Billet Specialties, a little touch up here and there, and going back to a factory type grille. I hate the tube grille!!!!

Built a few trucks on here but here is a picture of my latest project with some of my best friends trucks. Its a super clean 1976 Silverado Mild Lime truck. Its a one owner truck out of Georgia. I just finished lowering it. 3 inch spindles, 2 inch springs and a flip in the rear. Will start a build thread once i figure out what to do with it.

Here's a pic of my '83 is just purchased. Got plans to lower it with black wall tires out and swap to a sport rear bumper. Loved these trucks since I was in high school.

To me it looks like a 6 lug axle, so anywhere from 68-70 Chevy C10 SWB stepside. With a rear only shot it's hard to tell the year for me.

coulttruck 09-05-2013 06:34 PM

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds
 
Thanks. I wish I had more pics. I thought it was newer than that. I know I drove it '73-75 (summer camp I worked at). It seemed new in '73, but that doesn't mean the owner hadn't bought a used one I suppose. He's no longer with us so i can't ask!

ETsC10 09-05-2013 09:37 PM

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds
 
I agree with Bill. Assuming it is 6 lug, the boxes side marker makes it '68 or newer
and, after 1970, they were either 5 or 8 lug axles. Regardless, it is the '67-72 body style.
That was indeed one beautiful truck.

Oh, and WELCOME to the board! :metal:

Hi all!
I'm new to the site and thought I'd make my first post a picture of my 77.
I've been looking for a nice truck for a long time and finally purchased this one Friday.
It's a 1977 Silverado short bed.
Only 35,780 actual miles and all stock except for the slimline bed cover.
