Here is my 85. Had it for 14 years and it has sat since 06. Time to get her back out.

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

now that it's out..what's next?

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

It need inner and outer rockers, a small patch on the drivers 1/4 behind the wheel, heads rebuilt (smokes like a freight train for about ten min. after sitting a long time. I need to rebuild all the brakes. Caliper is locked up and might as well go through it.

For now I just want to get it back on the road but I think I will have the bed and rear frame blasted and maybe start to get ready for some paint. Probably back the same color as the front of the truck. I would really like to put a nice drop on it with the 295/50/15's that are on it now.

I have bigger dreams for it but small steps for now. Also I need to start working on the interior. Needs a new seat cover, carpet, headliner, and maybe a dash pad.

Thanks ! Yes i started my own home based business 10 months ago. It's been tough but worth it.

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

Nice! Love the previous model c10 emblem on it. Might have to borrow the idea :o

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

What the heck is that Service Station?????

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

Good eye and glad you like it brotha. Hopefully it catches on. You'll need to remove the fenders from the truck to be able to install them. Unfortunately there's no room to stick your hand from any angle with the fenders installed.

Nice. Light Chestnut Poly?

It's a Shamrock gas station. I live in a small town just north of Dallas.

My 86, 53K origional miles. 305 all smog attached.

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

My 79. Mechanically perfect, visually not so perfect.

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

I like those in the gray. I was looking for one around here. Actually thought about switching my interior over to gray but doubt I do it now.

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

Yeah, that 86 has the dark gray interior in it. It's hard to match colors if you have a problem. I need to replace the dash in it, and recover the seat, the rest is all in origional shape.

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

i did a 4/5 drop (flip the rear). right now ive got 225/75's in the front and 235/70's in the rear.
