Re: How about some pics of 73-87 Long Beds?
 

Thank you for all the complements! It's going to take some work but I'm going to try to finish it within a year...I was curious after you told me about the door panels and looked around and I do have the wrong style door panels, so where along the line the previous owner must have changed the inner door handles for it...the grill I'm not sure of yet, I like the look but I do also like the OEM grills to....as for the lowering...I was planning on putting in HD springs on the front and back and 1.5 inch lift....seen a few and they look nice! The overall paint job is going to be black and cherry with black and brushed aluminum interior (sorry but going to part with the original color (shame but I think it will look really nice done) and then I'm going to put these type wheels on it.... (see link)....and possibly a dual cowl hood...

Been awhile since I've been on the website but here are pictures of my truck.

Stepfather was the original owner and gave it to me when he was diagnosed with cancer about two years ago. He passed away last August but I have one of his most prized possessions in my garage to remind me of him, not that I needed it to remember him.

BIG 10 SILVERADO,

77GMCTRUCK has the picture of the OEM door panels and those are the correct ones, because I had a original 77' Silverado 4x4 Short Box....

For those asking it is a Rhino Bedliner. It was color matched to the original color of the truck and sprayed on extra thick. I think they did a full 1/4 inch if I remember correctly. I got it as it is pictured. It really is nice and I plan on keeping it. I've even started taking some mechanics classes on the side just so I can work on this and my classic car.

Re: How about some pics of 73-87 Long Beds?
 

WOW! it looks just like my trcuk when i first bought it!!!
