Here's a quick pic of my 86 just after she came home from the paint shop. Will show some updates soon

Nice trucks guys. Love the dark gray on these trucks.

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

Both of those trucks look awesome guys.

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

looks nice what gray is that?

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

If you're asking about my fleetside, the color is called butane blue pearl, and I stole it from Chrysler who used the color on their 2006 300M. It is a silver with a hint of blue in it, just enough to match my stock blue interior.
Cheers

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

Bob's got a flip in the rear and a 2.5" spindle & a 1" drop coil w/ a 1/2 a coil cut off on the front. It rides great and I really like the even look.

sorry about the messy windshield

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

It looks awesome..nice job! Are those 275/60's on all 4's?

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

Thanks a lot for the compliment...I'll relay it to Bob :lol:.

The tires are actually 255/70r15's. I put them on the truck when I first got it and they are the same height as the 275/60r15's, just a tad narrower. They would have worked just fine with this as I still have plenty of fender clearance front and rear. But, honestly, the 255's were cheaper :)

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

I grew up in Maine and those trucks were rusted to death in the 70's!

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

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

Here's my old 81 stepside.
Once I finish up my current project I'm going to try and locate a clean starting point and do another. This time i'll finish it w/ C4 front and rear suspension and a nose dive inducing big block.
