Sounds good Smoke Dog! Where did you get the chrome center for your grille?

jj_62607: Welcome to the board. Nice truck you got. What are your plans for it?

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

That sounds really good!! Nice and healthy.:metal:

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

I like it :metal:

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

Thanks partner!!! Purchase new grill for the 86, I think!!! and pulled the white coating off of it, that's all! Got the guts from a 73 vette, headman shorties, and a little something from my builder who use to build NASCAR engine's for the top name guys from ALABAMA in the 60's-70's.

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

thanks JohnC my plans for the truck are to restore it with a little custom things here and there not to much though. Im still in the beggining stages of the truck but im serious about doing it right I ran the vin and found that it was originally a 454 the guy I got it from was a put gas in it and go type of person when i bought it it had no fluids what so ever im suprised the inline 6 is still kickin. the only issue I really have with the truck besides the inline is the radiator support and right side inner fender everything else is actually decent.

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

That's really weird that it used to have a 454 in it, and they changed it to a 6cyl. Usually it's done in reverse.

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

Very cool truck. The wheels/tires/stance is perfect...:metal:

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

Nice vid smoke. And Hickory aint that bad either. Im bout 30 mins away.

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

my old 75 gmc was that way. It was a short step orderd with a 454 and 3.40 gears. I got it with a 6 cyl from a 69 nova and I put a 350 in it.

Time isn't always a bad thing. I've seen a lot of people as soon as they paint a truck, or do something major wish they had done something else. If you have more time, and have to wait for funds, like I do, you can sometimes have a more concrete plan of action. My uncle just bought a truck that has the copper color on top, and black on the bottom. It looks awesome.

Not the best pic, but all I have for now.

Thanks ...that looks pretty cool on his :metal:. I had thought of doing mine that way kinda...with black on bottom and like a Harley orange on top, but decided on the one color ( copperhead )

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

Just bought this one 2 weeks ago. 87 SWB 350FI 700R4 A/C. 15x10 w/ 295/50's. 91 Burb clip w/ billet grilles.
3" steel cowl hood. 5.3L 4L60E swap in mind. Found a wrecked 01 tahoe for $1000. I'll try to add some better pics later just took these as soon as I got her home.

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

^^^ I really like the truck, just not the wheels. I think 1000 for a wrecked tahoe is an awesome deal. You could part out the interior and get that much back. I've been getting a price of 1000 for just an engine w/accessories and harness from a salvage yard, so if you get the chance take it. A 5.3 and 4L60e would be perfect in that truck.

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

Sharp ...if mine looked that good already, I'd be in good shape.

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

My 75 c10 old school style. 350 sbc w/ cam, headers. Have a 454 /049 heads but need a th400 trans. Have air bags and cups/plates still need tank/valves. So i guess you can say its still under construction. Also building a 71 chevelle so my hands are full for now. Oh ya needs a hood. Yee ha no more smog checks. First time posting pics so i hope i get this right.:metal:

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

Thanks Guys (ps. if it seems girly it's cuz it is a girls truck):truck:

The seats are a 40/20/40 split bench with a fold down center and were re-finnished and covered to match the truck. I don't care for the fold down center as it has no storage and shallow cup holders, so I put an old refurbished steel horse center counsole painted black sitting on the center seat.

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

karl...nice truck...glad I joined this board, it's full of nice square bodies and great people to get ideas from for my old fixer upper....Hey....((( liv2ryde )))....You said that your seats were re covered, do you know what kind of vehicle they were in originally? I would like some sportier looking seats for my 82, but need to keep the seating room I have now with my bench.One like that would be perfect.

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

No problems. Probably the farthest I ever pulled was when I moved from Detroit to Phoenix; pulled the Chevelle on the open trailer (as you see in the pic) with no issues.

I should mention the truck is a V6 with the 4 speed manual overdrive trans - probably not the best set up for trailering but if you are not going far or not pulling often it is fine.

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

Welcome to the board blackprimer79,
It looks like you came bearing gifts . We all like pics of a nice looking Squarebody . Nice stance . Post some specs like the tire size , wheel size , etc in the regular 73-87 Message board and introduce yourself so every one can see that truck . I do not know how many members search the sticky threads but I am sure your truck will pull the compliments .

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

Since I am here I will post the black truck . There is a pic of it on page 1 or 2 of this thread . I had sold it and have since bought it back . I lowered it and added 17 inch Coddingtons . The look wasnt what I thought it would be so I picked up a set of 20 inch Intros for it . I like it much better . Here is a pic with the 17's then the 20's .
