Nice truck, and heck of a weather change! :lol:

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

Thanks.... and the weather in PA during April is very unpredictable...
70 one day and snow the next...... even a quick snow shower in the morning while taking pics..... lol

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

I just got my first estimate on painting it...... to change the color to black.... remove all of the trim and molding and smooth the fenders and paint it one solid color..... My buddy is against it though... he likes the classic look....

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

the white is a better colour if it comes to prep .
the gloss black show any blemish in the sheetmetal and prepwork no matter how small the white covers them up a lot better .
try to get a quote for the lighter colour i think you be suprized at the pricedifference when it includes the bodywork

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

Heres a pic of my 87.

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

Sharp looking truck. I like those clear side markers. I'm looking at those for mine.

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

how did you put in them turn signels lights with that grill/

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

I got the side makers at LMC. For the grill I had to cut the tabs on the top of the light and on the inside of the grill it has a little L shaped braket that you screw the to.

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

i just used zip ties one around the grill frame and the tab on the light you cant even see the zip tie,+ i got the stock grill i can put back if i wanted too...

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

I mounted my park lights by setting the light into the slots and under the "L" shaped piece and then put a little black silicone on the back of the light to keep it solid.

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

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

Welcome to the board. Truck looks good. I like that shade of blue!

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

Thanks JohnC. Im not a big fan of the wheels, but it looks ok. The cowl is a badly attached fake Bondo'd right on top of the stock hood, and they didnt do ANY bodywork (or much masking) before they sprayed the paint. Lots of runs, but it looks good from 20 or 30 feet and great at night or in the rain :lol:

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

87cslammer, cool! always thought one of these would be fun

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

yeah i get looks everywhere i take it now... i cruised around in it all day saterday and sunday... im gonna finish it up sometime this weekend maybe cut the roof even with the front window... i dunno

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

Hi guys i posted the other day and i have been doing some clean up work on the inside of the truck. I mounted my amp and sat radio brain under the seat. i also cleaned up behind the seat putting in one 10in kicker sub ( dont know if i want to run the sec one yet). Also I am in reapolstering the door panels. will have a pic of those when done. Next im going to start prepping to primer and paint the outside (any ideas of what color ) Thanks for reading Branden:sumo:

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

Wow I would like to see some more pictures of this. I have seen one like it crusing around localy. Was it hard to do? Canyou put the top back on?

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

I think he can. I had a friend who did this with a lesser brand truck. He could put it on and take it off. The real problem was that he needed two people to ride with him when the top was on so they could hold it when he stopped fast.

Since it was a F*$d, it flying off during a fast start was less of a problem.

Finally, he decided it was destined to be a true 100% top-off ride when his girlfriend broke up with him because she had the door post permanently embedded in her neck.

Lousy fashion statement.

;)

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

Erm wait what exactly happened to the girl?

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

What a harsh story!

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

Nope. Fictional humor.

In response to the question about whether a Sawall'ed roof can be put back on as easily as it came off......
That's my personal style of a laff-track. Or a "smiley". Trying to not look like an arrogant pr$#k.
