Vanilla and the orange that is on the new chevy cobalts. I think it is something like fusion orange. I would like to take credit for building this truck, but unfortunately I cannot. I picked it up from a guy that built it locally and did a great job might I add. I've done a little bit to the motor, but everything else was his creation. I am very happy with this truck and had I not picked this one up, I would have built one very similiar. It is everything I would want in a square body.

Thanks for the compliments guys. I cannot get over what a great forum this is.

this is my rustbucket for now at least i got a good cab and nose comming for it and still looking for a good bed for the truck the one thats on there now is so rusted that the only thing holding it on the frame is the wood inside of it

Re: How about some pictures of '73-'87 short beds
 

I believe they're the same type wheels that I have.. it took a while for them to grow on me... but I like 'em pretty well. BTW, KILLER TRUCK!

I have relatives in Beaumont, your neighborhood looks just like theirs.

Re: How about some pictures of '73-'87 short beds
 

Nice truck! What type of white is that?

Re: How about some pictures of '73-'87 short beds

watahyahknow-
woah, you said wood inside of it? do you mean it's got a wood floor or a piece of wood holding it together? ifs its a wood floor, could you post some pics please? thanks

Re: How about some pictures of '73-'87 short beds
 

no it just has a piece of concreteply used to make the floor and sides of the bed and they used parkers to hold it to the body of the bed then they bolt it through and through to the bed .
the metal floor and the supportbeams that hold the floor to the frame normaly have dissapeared allmost completely from rust

Re: How about some pictures of '73-'87 short beds
 

It's Vanilla with a splash of pearl.

nice video ....... bit slow though

Re: How about some pictures of '73-'87 short beds
 

Cool video!How much money did you spend on that thing and how long did it take to rebuild it?

Re: How about some pictures of '73-'87 short beds
 

Sweet video! I like how the music seems to get more hardcore as the progression of the truck goes on.
