That's some big tires on the back there, what size are they? Are they the 285/70's that are discontinued now?

Its a 350/th350trans goes good dosent smoke/leak too much has stock geared rearend more of a cruiser. got a shift kit in it/b&m floor shifter nothin on the tree. it'll do for now probably last a couple seasons {maybe longer} but im keepn my eyes open for a good replacement. Either something i can clean up and throw in thats better or a 6.0 swap? not sure.depends on what i can find/afford. thats on back burner till im finished with the interior once i get that "squared" away i might do something -jeff

Well looks great right now and at least you can cruise with it and plan ahead. 6.0 L are the way to go now.

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

Man I was hoping you would say they were making them again! They look good!

Wow...the backhalf really brings it all together, very mean looking.

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

Thanks man. Got figure out how to get the front down more. Looks like I am going to go with a new crossmember. Just can't live with raising the back up!

You are welcome, that sure is a sweet truck. See what you mean on the front, old guy's would like that, they used to lift the front to make it look like it was going fast. So more money again hey. Know what you mean. Looks well worth it though.

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

Yea it's never ending for sure. That's a nice 4x4 you got also! That picture I posted is with no front coils I it. I just wanted to see if it would go low enough, and nope haha.

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

Yea really. I just figured I would see and there isn't enough travel on the stock front crossmember. Going to go with the Porter built I believe and coil overs. Money!! HAHA

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

Thanks man, I know the tires look small but i kinda like it with this body style, I feel most people have the misconception that bigger is always better. hah, but thanks again.

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

I love the wheels on this one. Maybe one day when I can shell out 3 grand on rims alone they will be on my short bed.

Second pic is about how mine looked before tear down. Very similar colors.

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

All cleaned up and ready for storage. Winter is here.
