I used DJM lower control arms and a DJM flip kit in the rear. Which came out to be a 3/5 drop.

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

If you're referring to this one, it has 285/70/15 rears and 235/75/15 front

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

This is my 1981 C10. Just bagged the front on shraeder valves. Back is dropped 6" with Flip kit and belltech drop shackle. Running 15x8's on all 4 corners with 255-60x15 tires up front and 275-60x15 on the back.

Hey moto,
I really dig your truck.I like the under construction will i drive it look:c2:
What are your plans

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

haha.. thanks.. funny, a lot of people have said they like it the way it is .. beatup.. it's my daily driver when I'm not riding my motorcycle.. The interior is suprisingly pretty clean. The windows are tinted dark..at night you can't see in the cab at all. I need to get a new bed this one is shot. Clean up the cab with a new quarter panel and weld some holes. Get it media blasted and painted. Those are the main things.
A next door neighbor years ago had a nice swb cheyenne that I lusted over. Ever since I've been looking for one. I found this one cheap.

It's got a 350 4bolt dropped in it.. .. suprising how you can rail around the corners with these trucks lowered. It's a super stiff ride .. no sway at all. When I first got it .. I was thinking oh man it needs a lot of work what was I thinking. I already have 2 motorcycle projects. That night I got it the girl I was seeing thought it was pretty cool.. liked the width of the cab.. and the couch like red seat, she wanted to have sex in it. Never questioned it after that. I love Cheyennes!

Patrick, my mom made me one of those (cake replica of Yeller) for my B-day...but it looked nowhere as good as that one. It looked more like a truck from the movie CARS. :)

Steamin...NICE project!!!

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

Hey yeller,
On your website,If you go to the garage,who has the burgandy 73'-79' stepside.Where can I see a good pic of it.Thanks

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

Craik is located on highway 11 in Saskatchewan, Canada, right in between saskatoon and regina. Thanx for the compliments on my project guys!! although im sure it wont come near to the quality of many project trucks on this site. its just a father/son tight budget project. ill keep you all updated as i make more progress!! thanx again!

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

Sounds cold!

Did you build that entire front rollpan/bumper yourself, or is there a front roll pan somewhat mass-produced for our trucks? After seeing that, my bumper all of a sudden looks really clunky and awkward.

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

No clue, I found it on the web years ago...I believe it was in a truck magazine website.

Here are the only two pics I have of it.

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

actually its not really that cold up here, so far this winter its been warmer than -15 degree Celsius which is about 5 Fahrenheit. (not cold AT ALL) its just been this past week thats been -40 with windchill lol (-40 fahrenheit?) yea pretty cold anyway...my trucks definately a summer truck.

me and my dad fabricated the front roll pan our selves. right from the rear box corners of a 89-98 chevy truck and some flat sheets of steel. it took a while to get right, but im more than happy with the way it turned out! i have some pictures of the roll pan progress here im still workin on that site so if its kinda all over the place, thats why lol

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

Yep, who ever did your cake Patrick did a great job. Looks like your truck.

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

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

Might I inquire what you did for your front roll pan? Looks awesome!

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

OK. I've got two for ya! The red '80 was mine in Hawaii. The yellow one was one a won on ebay. The night I won the auction, it was stolen and wrecked...sigh. That's ok though, God worked it out with a 69 C-10.

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

I've referenced this one a couple times on this board already, so I may as well add it here. My pics from a Barrett-Jackson auction a few years back, but not my truck:

There are a lot of beauties on this thread!!!!! Here is mine nothing special, but look aggressive, hehe.:metal:

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

You are right. That is a very nice '86. Wonder if he still has it and how it looks today?;)

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

what exactly are these side view mirrors off of? i see them on a lot of trucks but never knew what they were off of. thanks

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

They came on as far as I know, the '67-'72 Chevy trucks. Maybe others also.

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

They are the 'sport' mirrors & were available through 87. I bought some of them (GM NOS) when i bought my 74. The 71-72 style are slightly different from the 73 & up style.

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

you would think they'd be easy to find. 15 minutes of googling and i still have nothing. i need more specifics please. thanks

My truck

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

URECKME, are those holes in your finder? Looks like bullet holes. Other than that, looks like a nice truck. Where are you getting the 700R4? With that set up what RPM do you think you will be getting around 60mph?
