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

thanks! the stepside was my graduation gift from high school. the fleetside i have had about a month. next up its gettting stripped. has a "rattle can" paint job..looks horrible. its going to get painted either candy purpleor a candy blue. i want to leave all the trim..try and get the cab wrap-around, and the side moldings for it. keep it stock, but also custom

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

okay, after three days of looking through the pics ill finally post mine. ive had it for almost three weeks, but i just got back from vegas for a week(im so poor now).

the specs: 85, 454, th400, cowl hood, was told a 4/5 drop, not sure but it is belltech. tranny grabs hard as **** in second and sometimes in third, if its nice pavement. did a little tuning on the engine, but not a lot since i have a wife and an 8 month old. i want to restore it to factory looking, do some 5% tint, stereo, all that, just a big engine shiny cruiser. its just time and money. oh, DONT MAKE FUN OF THE WHEELS. i hear it all damn day!! those are the first things to go, they are just ugly as sin, but the 454 makes up for it, right?

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

yeah, they were pajama pants. thanks.

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

Is that a Grant wheel? If so, what series. The grip seems fatter than my Challenger series. Of course I have the hard red metal flake and not the foam.

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

Looks like a nice starting point. I do think the 454 makes up for the wheels, as long as you let everyone know it has a 454! :lol:

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

Texasfunk that is definitely a nice pair of rides, I like the idea of a 502 in a shortbed.:metal:

pajamapan....or...I mean spaseghost, I don't think the wheels are that bad...:smoke:

Kind of looks like an early 67-72 CST wheel, definitely interesting.:chevy:

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

Nice! What size and brand of tires are those?

SulphurDave's truck is the tan/bronze colored one without the bed cover, the silver/gray one with the bed cover belongs to nicks05z71's father.

Both trucks are top notch in my book.

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

Jason Hill builds some of the best square bodies around. The yellow one was in Street Trucks as a Budget build...I think the Vintec wheels look better on it. The colors are over the top especially the Terra Cotta interior..

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

Yeah we are all real familiar with Hill's trucks. They are inspirations for a lot of us here. I haven't seen a bad one come from them yet. Do you know what suspension items the red and white one has done to it?

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

everything coming out of there is BAD...........BADASS that is :lol:

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

HAHAH i have the magazines with both those trucks as covers or builds. The yellow and white two tone was a 12,000 budget build featured in Street Trucks thats where i got the idea for the stance i want on my truck. you forgot to put the Blazer they did thats bagged its brown and green pretty sick considering its a blazerhttp://www.fehrarules.com/Hills_Blazer_1.jpg

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

nice truck
what color is that

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

i think the red and white one is a 5/6. im not real sure.

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

Thanks TexasFunk

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

damn, i love those i piece windows its the 1st thing i noticed on that blaze. there goes my interior budget! :lol:

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

Yeah they're nice aren't they? :smoke:

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

LOL indeed they are pretty damn nice. too bad those puppies run about 800 bucks before shipping. i wonder if they have to special order replacements?

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

Captkaos has group buys that knock it down to about $675 I think.
