Beautiful truck. You can go with a 275 easy. You might be able to get a 295 on there.

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

Thanks guys. Im hoping to go at least a 275 in the back. Plus im having some rubbing issues in the front, hopefully some trimming to the inside of the fender lip will fix that. I found these rims and tires used so I took a gamble on the backspacing and tire width.

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

some new pics

pardon them, they are from my cell phone :-)

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

ocbaud, that is eye candy! Love the color combination. I am convinced on Torq Thrust wheels now after completing my 4/6 drop. Are those 17's? Specs on the tire size and drop?

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

o...m...g..., that thing is SICK!!

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

17x8 w/ 255/50/17's all around

5/7 drop (well, only a flip kit in the rear, but it lowered it enough)

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

dude!!!! that looks sweet!!!
thats the same paint scheme im going with on my 86 4x4

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

Here's a few pictures of my "85" Black Betty and my "86" Big Red.

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

Is it just me or are our trucks getting more beautiful all the time? I just love this body style.

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

sweet truck OC, love the color, rims, stance, everything.

Jon, how much drop is on the red one and what size tires? I'd love my 86 to sit like that!

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

OC that truck is sweet! Jons85, man you have some nice trucks. I agree with 86swb on the body style. They just get better looking as time goes on.

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

Great looking trucks guys!

Re: How about some pictures of '73-'87 short beds
 

what color code is the paint thatsa nice truck:devil:

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

Thanks silvereagle07. 68longhorn my red truck has a 4"-6" drop and 215/60/15's in front with 295/50/15's in the back. The back tires rub once in a while on the sidewall if it hits a decent bump now that it's lowered so I'm going to either roll the fender lips or cut some of the lip off. I like the look of the wide tires in back though.

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

ocbaud where did you get the clear marker lights? I can only find the clear with orange reflector from LMC but I want the all clear like you have. Your truck looks sweet with the Torq Thrust II's on it. They never go out of style!

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

Nice trucks, Jon! Is the red '86 cnotched for the 6" drop?

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

you had to take a fender off?

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

nice, what was your best time. i seen your truck up on kijiji a while back if you dont mind me asking did it end up selling or did you get any good offers?

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

yeah it is, I used a belltech flip kit and cnotched it. Nice to see another veteran on here I just got out a year ago 2001-2009 1CAV and 25ID.

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

Jons85 , can i see some more pics of big red at some different angles plzzzzzzz :D

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

If I remember correctly he purchased them, before they quit making them and went to the ones you are finding now at LMC, and ebay.

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

correct

i'm happy i bought them when i did, i had wanted them for a long time :-)


they are currently for sale though

$1,000

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

I'll give you $100 and a set of orange lights. ;)

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

ocbaud I'll give you $1,000 for the clear marker lights, but you gotta throw in the Torq Thrusts too! haha I guess I'll just have to keep my eyes open on ebay or maybe at a swap meet.

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

Here are a few more pictures I had of her....the first one is stock height before the 4"-6" drop

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

I'm seeing a striking family resemblance between Big Red and my baby. Always thought she may have had an older sister but never could seem to locate her until now:). Nice pair of trucks Jons85!!!

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

Nice that is a sweet truck! It looks like Big Red but on steroids!

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

I like that color combo funk. Don't you need another project?

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

That looks like a pretty sharp truck. If you don't project it, let the guys at Hill's know about it.
