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

Wow, that is a super great buy. The plow I would think would be worth that.

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

Big soup, is that your truck in the picture? That is one nice ride. Beautiful

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

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

That factory look is awesome and I like the 81-82 front!

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

Ya, thats why I bought it. I figure the blow is worth $1,000 by itself, plus it came with 4 new tires, a diamond plate truck box , both inner fenders (uninstalled) and alot of other parts ..and the interior is in good shape....it runs good but as of yesterday i'm not getting fuel to the tbi.

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

good looking truck!!! I can see that thing hovering on the groung with some big hoops stuffed in the fenders!!

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

Hell, I wished I could find one like that for a grand. I need a 4x4.

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

By the way, welcome to the board. Again, that is one nice truck. Would love to see more pictures inside and out and what you have under the hood.

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

Thanks Rollinsqrbdy!! I haven't fully decided on color or motor i just got the truck. I had a 70 c10 and a 68 c10 step side but this is the body stile truck I've wonted since i was about five or six when first saw the TV show Fall Guy. I will get more pic when it stops raining and I'm not stuck in the house.

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

Thanks man.

Cheese knows me too damn well. Yes it is going to get some color of blue but I just have to make up my mind. The wife thinks all Smurf Blue will not look good, but I have faith. :)

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

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

Here is my 86 GMC short box. This was my first truck bought for $3700 .ive had it for 6 years the restoration is 3 years old. It has a Beltec drop, lakewood trac bars,Built Big Block 454,Built turbo 400, and a built 10bolt. Originally had a 305,700R4 and peg leg 10 bolt. It has all new steel, lights, grill ya ya you see it. Leather seats covans slassic gauge cluster hand made lower door panels, seamed and glued in head line..... new everything inside.

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

I really like the inside

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

Just one question, you put all those gauges in the dash, but not the tach?

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

i kinda like the look of the tach on dash, and on that blue truck, i have never seen a truck with the grille matched to body color..that i liked, but i love the look! you mind if i ask for a close up of that truck on the tailgate? and what color blue is that? love it!

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

I prefer the tach on the dash in this truck, i was shooting for the race type set up but also the comfort, and i believe when you need to be watching your rpms for the reason that i dont have a rev limiter in my truck its nice, mainly when your running a respectable power street engine you dont want to be looking down to check your revs at 100mph that could mean the wall lol. My new project which is a 81 one ton dually crew cab will have all the gauges in the dash.

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

Ahh I gotcha.

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

Damn, Truck looks good, what's the Leather seat out of?

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

Thanks alot...The seats were ordered from trucknvans.com

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

Never seen a shortbed dually stepside. interesting!

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

so wat did you use for a rearaxle ?
a stock dually rearaxle a breadtruck axle (little narrower) or did you mounted truckwheels on a single wheel 3/4 ton axle
if its a C2500 frontsuspension youre using you can put the diskbrake/hubcombo from a dually on the front spindles then you can mount trucktires on the front as whell

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

Looks like a cab and chassis rear diff??

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

smurf, wow I love the flat black and the wheels. I have to know what tire wheel combo you are running? Looks like 22' in rear and 20's in front? Coys? What tires are you running I'm doing research for my build.
