After the addition of some more stuff after some "persuasion" from the local police force:

Finally got the correct grille:

Finally, after 3" more lift and some other minor mods, this is where it sits now.

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

I think it looked awesome until you added the body lift. I hate body lifts! :D

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

IMHO, it looks better with the flares and mud flaps. Great looking truck! Wish mine was 4x4.

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

Where did you get those fender flares??? I need those! :metal:

78' gmc 305 V8

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

Thanks guys. I'll eventually move the bumpers up to make it less noticeable, but the 38's chewed up my fenders once while I had it bound up, so I opted for more lift rather than less tire. ky_kid, those flares are the Bushwacker Cutout flares. They're a pain to install and you better not mess up while doing it, but they allow you to fit bigger tires without lifting higher. They're expensive though, about $100 per flare. I got them on craigslist for $300, it was a decent deal.

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

what is that colour called!!! thats the same colour as mine and im hoping to get it painted soon but i need the name of the colour!!! very nice clean looking truck, and its nice to see these square bodies still being used as a truck and also being maintained. Bad Ass ;)

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

I should have put the color in the description.

It is:


2009 Ford Tuxedo Black Semi Metallic.

The paint is not cheap, and I don't even know if it available yet. Some of the ingredients came from Japan and after the tsunami there was a shortage of them.
My stuff was painted last fall so it didn't affect me.

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

Here are some closer shots of the paint.
