New truck pics. This camera angle jus makes my truck look sick IMHO. But I think with some 12" wide slicks and smoothie wheels 3" more drop in the front will just complete it.

think there was one one here that done that tailgate mod on a older truck he allso used a set of extra stepside fenders as the inner fenders/tubs think it was a 56/57 apache truck because the fenders where more slanted .

you might want to raise those fenders to be level with the sidewindows and allmost loose the edge of the bed alltogether and just sheetmetal the space across the fenders in at the back to make the mod look right

I got her running just long enough to test the 4 link and air valves. Then I took it all apart again cuse just like a good chevy she pisses oil everywhere. It will never be a "show" truck. Thats not what I am into. If you make them all dolled up, you never want to drive them. Nothing like a sat evening drive and letting the ass of the truck destroy the US 60.....:bann:

Very nice truck Sperz1.

I finally have one to add to this thread too.

That's all I have for pics right now. I just got it home yesterday evening. The interior is a little rough and the body is what I'd call "good from far" but I'm glad to finally have a shortbox.

82chevyc10,
looks like a pretty clean truck. I think I noticed those wheels the other day. I don't remember who makes them, but are they called Nascars? I was thinking "that is a simple nice looking wheel that would look good on a square body or any boxy type vehicle". I wish the whole lip was polished though. Do you have any pics that better show the wheel

What part of town are you in?

82ChevyC10 06-01-2009 10:10 PM

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds
 
yeah, they're made by Victory...I like em, but the offset was pretty shallow, so i had to use wheel spacers in the rear...the lips are actually yellow lined, like the old school wagon wheels they used to put on trucks in the 80s. No other pics as of yet. I'm from the Sugar Land area.

Hey All,
Here are some before and afters of my 84 GMC Sierra Classic that I am restoring.
I was able to find original trims and centers via ebay and they were in very great shape.
I just ordered a new grill to replace the cracked chevy grill that it had when I bought it, I also ordered new headlight bezels to replace the cracked faded originals.

Engine compartment is next then interior.

I'm thinkin maybe 31's in the near future or 33's but not sure if 33's will clear.

Mark
