The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network - How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds

Yes, clear ones are used on several motorhomes, as reverse light lenses. They are also often found as all amber and all red. They must be available somewhere.

I have seen the red and amber ones on the motorhomes, just not the clear ones yet.

Beautiful. Care to share the wheel and tire spec info? This is how I'd like my truck to look after I purchase new wheels. I think yours is probably a little lower in the back though...

Not sure on the wheels, I do like the 20/19 or 20/18 combo's though.

But I like the truck, and I am envious of those tail lights. Where might one find them?

I got them out of a catalog like a decade ago... I can't remember which. Sorry.

Hoping to get some advice:
I have 20x8s with a negative offset all the way around, but I am not happy with the stance or the way it drives. + My front wheels are bent from potholes. Should I go to 19s and get some more rubber on there or cut out the wheel wells and keep the 20s? Definitely need to get 20x10s on the back...

hey man where you get that bed cover from

IIRC it was about $600 paint matched and installed, but this was like 5-6 years ago.
