Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Long Beds Part II
 

Here is my 82. I got it from my Dad this spring. It is finally in the paint shop for bodywork and paint. I'm removing the drip rails and C10 logos, adding a chrome tailgate name panel and maybe adding a white pinstripe. I'm staying with the blue and white (still trying to figure out what the blue colour is). The body side mouldings may be changed to newer versions of the same or else the chrome Silverado ones. Wheel arch trims may or may not be replaced/reinstalled. Seeing all the other units on this thread as well as the previous one is helping me with some of my decisions.

The wife taking the 86 to work in the first measurable snow.

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Long Beds Part II
 

How much snow do you get in a winter, much more.

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Long Beds Part II
 

Thanks,
Not really new, been lurking for a for a while, but finally had a reason for a first post.
Just ordered a Belltech 3/4 drop kit. Can't wait to get this truck a little closer to the pavement. Good thing there's 7-9 months of winter left!!!!!!!! :waah:

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Long Beds Part II
 

in Virginia there can be years where it doesn't snow at all. Then there can be years when we get several storms that are over a foot of snow.

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Long Beds Part II
 

We tend to get 2-4ft of snow in the winter, just never know when it will attack.
Last year we had 4ft by now, this year only about 2ft which is down to 1ft already, may get a lot more in Feb to March, always a mystery.

Here is my new to me 1986 4x4. I just purchased this truck from Arizona and I am having it shipped to michigan. I have not even seen it in person yet but the owner and my nephew that checked it out for me assured me it is rust free and in great shape.

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Long Beds Part II
 

pointer80, a few years back craigslist was full of these year trucks being parted out in Phoenix Az., I even parted out an 1982 for the all the emissions stuff just incase I was failed with any part of mine. I have to have it done every year and the elephant gets a dyno ride and put out some big numbers...:bann:

I have had the elephant going on 20 years and well into 350,000 miles on the chassis, on its third motor a couple years ago, several TH400 trannys, current motor is a 383 low end torque motor, World Product heads (18 years on those) full roller cam and rockers, Hughes tow transmission, no catalytic converters 8600 GVWR, Cab chassis when purchased new by the City of Phoenix and never been in an accident, may sell it some day....

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Long Beds Part II
 

Nice truck Zigy, looks good.

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Long Beds Part II
 

Thank you! Fellow Canadian :canada: lol

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Long Beds Part II
 

Nice rims Zigy, what size are they and what tire size are you running. I noticed your dash has an insert that doesn't look stock, do you know where it is from, who makes it.

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Long Beds Part II
 

Nice to see a fellow Calgarian! Maybe I'll see you driving around.

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Long Beds Part II
 

New member. Bought this 82 2wd from a guy down the block a few months ago who was letting it go to seed. Plan on fixing it up, using it to haul motorcycles to rallies, and then give it to my grandson (who is three, so I will have lots of time to get her looking good). My mechanical aptitude is mostly limited to motorcycles, but these seem pretty simple to work on.

It has a 350 crate motor, Edelbrock 600 cfm 4 bbl, Headman headers, sm465 with bad synchros and a worn input shaft bearing, and Mickey Thompson 33X 12.5 15 tires (which will be replaced shortly with 235/75 R 15 Goodyear Wranglers.) There is a very mild lift kit installed which I will eventually remove.

My wife hates it, the neighbors laugh at it, and I love to drive it!

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Long Beds Part II
 

Thank you for your kind words :)
The rims are 18" moto metal wheels with 33" nokian tires.
The dash pad is new and I got the insert your asking about from LMC truck.
I hope that helps

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Long Beds Part II
 

Sounds GREAT!
I look forward to it..
You need to post a pic of your ride so I can watch for it :)

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Long Beds Part II
 

Thanks for the info on the dash insert, nice clean insert, just like your truck.

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Long Beds Part II
 

Well tell you what. When I get my power steering pump issues sorted out and I can drive it I'll post a pic.

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Long Beds Part II
 

My new baby

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Long Beds Part II
 

1983 GMC truck.

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Long Beds Part II
 

Out for a photo shoot the other day around the Comox area. Fresh wash and tire-shine. I just put Edelbrock Elite Series Valve Covers and an Air Cleaner on it, as well as an EGR Delete. She's freshly out of the shop with new Control Arm Bushings and Brakes. Riding like she's new!
