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

Did you happen to see what they were asking for it Funk? Just curious....

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

It is a VERY clean truck, and I am actually looking for a daily to FINISH my project! :lol: they don't have a price on it (don't on any car) and it was a Sunday when I checked it out, but I am seriously thinkin about looking into picking it up as a daily! It is a 87 and still has TBI, supposedly ony 75,000 miles!

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

I thought you had another square as a daily?

Yea, had, trans went..and with work and school had no choice but to sell.. :(

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

i think it wouldve been cheaper to have the trans replaced compared to buying a new daily driver aspecially a stock trans

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

cheaper, definately, but, with my 8-3 school schedule and 4-11 work schedule no time at all to have a vehicle down or time to fix it..in my eyes was the smarter choice, regret it, definately, but it all worked out...

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

Whoa! That seems kind of high for an old 87 square body no matter how clean it is.

$14K? Wow. I love our trucks but I would not think they are not worth that at this time in stock condition. More like half that.

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

here are a few more of my 87.Attachment 603371

Attachment 603372

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

nice truck 87 static slam, can tell which is the measure of wheel and tire & drop kit..

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

wheels are 15 x 8 235 70 r15 up front and 15 x 10 275 60 r 15 out back.
it has 3" dropped a-arms and 2" drpooed coils in front and shackles and a few leafs removed in the back. i think its a total (after settling) of about 5-1/2" in front and about 6" in back on the drop.

thanks for the compliment, im glad you dig it!

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

Sharp looking truck man!

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

Nice! I like the 91 GMC front end conversion.

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

that front end really does make that year truck look good. as apposed to the ugly factory grill or even any billet after market offering. nice !!!

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

those chrome arches look nice

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

1986scottsdale , im eating crow ! that front end , grill and bumper looks pretty good.

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

That's a nice hot rod right there!

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

Wheres the gas tank i dont see it hanging down on either side of both fenders??

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

its just the angle of the pictures. its a driverside single tank

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

oh im thinking of putting my step side bed back on. But the only problem i have is i dont like the way the step lines up with the cab, did you guys put new cab mounts on this truck? I was thinking with new cab mounts it might line up better, i already have mine on just wondering if the ones i see dont have new ones.

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

Here's my 85 before, during and after the 3/5 drop.

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

That's a sweet looking stepper Cherub! I like the interior. Was the dash panel covered in leather? ced935, the 3/5 drop looks great! Nice ride.

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

Nice looking truck your dad has there Cherub!

ced935 that is a sharp looking truck too! The drop looks really good.

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

Cherub, you and your Dad both have NICE trucks! My wife just said my interior needs to look like your Dad's!! :metal:

Is that a 3rd one I spy in the garage??

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

Wow Cherub, your dads interior is nice! Would you mind sharing where he got that bench seat from?

where did u get that center thing!?!!?!

When I was the owner of the Pick-em up Truck Store in Napa, Ca. we sold a LOT of them. Its been a few years now and I dont remember the brand, but Im pretty sure if you get a hold of the Tulare store and send them a pic they can hook you up. Comes in assorted colors too....

Edit: Oh, and they were designed to sit on the seat, not the floor.

here is a trick... it is top secret so dont tell anyone...if you buy one take a razor knife and cut the little bottom lip off ( the one that turns under and goes back toward the back of the truck) because if it is on there the air dam cant flex and it will crack when you run over something... mine has been abused badly and still looks good. remember dont tell anyone!
