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

that yellow and white truck is very different and very very clean. thanks for the pics.

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

What can I say, but WOW! Great looking truck. The guy who owns this one has done a really awesome job from what you can tell in the picture. :metal:

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

Hill's did my truck, from my info. too bad the IPO owned it for 3 years and nearly destroyed all the good work. I'm glad to see he(jason) is still into square bodies, MAYBE someday I'll just call him and order a Red/White one done like the yellow/white one. While I'm out there to pick it up(yeah right) I'll find the IPO of my truck and kick him in the nads. crossy

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

Hill's teamed up with LMC and one of the truck magazines to do it. They had several write ups of the progression to what it is now....here is a link to the build gallery

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

I like that yellow truck, but I think I would have done more to the interior. That's the only thing I could come up with to be negative :)

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

I don't know who did the blue/white twotone but it is just as nice as the others.

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

Love the windshield shades on the black/navy truck.

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

yes! pics do NOT do this truck justioce, it is immaculate inside and out! its not too overdone, and i love the bench turn into split with a centerconsole, i think it could use bigger wheels but none the less fav truck of the show!

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

Here's mine with the new wheels.

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

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

Guys, sorry for the late reply, been busy at work, I found a pic of the shakle flip. I also put on a pic of my 69 Z/28 that I have owned for almost 30 yrs. It has a blown 502 in it!

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

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

NICE!!

did you convert to 6 lug or use adapters?

I was thinking about these on my 80 and converting to 6 lugs....dunno how the back spacing would work though....

http://www.finishlinewheels.com/prodimg/ALY05308U.jpg

but I found some different wheels I'm picking up next month.....

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

Man I like those wheels on that blue swb......Wonder what it takes to put them on.......?

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

See my other thread..there's a link for the adaptors..

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

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

Didn't catch that. I think I kinda like it that way.

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

That does look kind of cool. I didn't catch it either.

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

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

good eye funk! i really like that... ive been back here to look at that at least 5 or 6 times!:lol:

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

Anyone have the article handy on the yellow and white Hills/LMC truck? I looked at Hill's site and it doesn't have the press coverage any more.

I am curious what size tires it has on it. I'm pretty sure those posted are 22's but need the tire size.

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

Hey N2trux. I happen to have the street truck mag that it was first featured in sitting beside me. The rims are 20 inch Billet Specialties Vintec Dish. As far as what size the rubber is, it doesnt say. Hope that helps

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

I found the rubber size in the new street truck mag. There Falken p255-35-zr20 on front and back.

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

thanx, i saw it too, and at first i didnt like it much, but it grew on me, haha
