Now that looks sharp. What all has been done to it?

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

Look guys I add the rallys wheels.

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

Looks great. Needs bigger tires out back though. LOL

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

looks good! now dump it to the top of the tires!!

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

I just lowered it 2" in the back and it looks alot better.

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

That's what I was thinking. A 3/5 or 4/6 drop would look awesome!

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

Some new ones I took today. I swapped steering wheels with the one from my rarely driven 70 K10, and swapped the rally trim rings for a new set of deep ones that I had in the attic. These are the first pics I think I have taken outside since I put the sport rear bumper on.

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

Yeah, yeah, yeah....... :lol: I would like to go another inch in the rear and 2 in the front, but I need to swap the oil pan before I go much lower in the front though:

Has a hard running 434 big block (454 w/ 396 crank) it's built for mud drags, definitely not street use (race fuel is expensive)

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

Mine? thanks!

Drop- I'm not sure. PPO did it. rear is a few leafs removed and the rear perches moved up. front is spindles with a little coil chop. We are going ti get the rear back to stock, then do a flip.

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

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

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

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

I really wanna know the specs on that truck, drop, what brand and size wheels, that is the cleanest square body i have seen. Its an inspiration...

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

This is my bosses truck 1978 Big 10

Even though the truck is in excellent condition, we are doing a frame off. we will be doing a frame swap because my boss wants it to be 4wd.

here is the frame we picked up from the sandblasting place today, its a 79

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

Great looker 95S ...... IMO ..... I think I would have found another to do a 4X4 resto on & leftthe original ....... original. But that's why so many trucks don't look like the new jelly beans off the line.

Good start .... good luck.

RATTY 46

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

I kinda feel that way too, but its not my truck and its not my money, the truck will look the same, we are only restoring the frame and running gear and drive train, the body will be left alone,

itll be kinda cool though, the only Big 10 4wd
