howdy all, chris here from Houston Tx.
Here's my 81 silverado.
- perpetually in primer the last few years!
I shaved all the trim, bed holes, cab trim, drip rails, cab light, front side markers, rear tail lights, bumper and tailgate, side mirrors and door handles.
(after some bad solenoid experiences, I went old school with a key pop this
time!) it has a stylin concept 5/5 static drop. It's dualled and has a edelbrock performer cam/intake/carb, but pretty stock otherwise.
Future plans:
This truck has really been a study for me in how little money I could spend.
(you know... wife, kid, mortgage, etc...)
I was about to buy some 17 " legend 5 spokes (like tt's) but saw Muthstrykers truck with the eagle 225s and may change my mind.
(that said I'll have a set of impalla wheels up for sale soon, I hope)
the truck was originally code 12 white and I jambed it white a couple of years ago, but now I was looking at a nice coppery colored paint. Recently thought that I might just jamb it in gloss black and go semi black on the outside to keep my suede vibe going and frustrate family and friend who keep asking "when you gonnna paint that thing?"
In one year texas will consider it an "antique truck"!

That color combo on that 80' is amazing. And that 80' front end that seems to be least desirable around here really looks awesome on this truck. Gosh, look at that chrome

Hey Primrrd nice truck, I just realized that although my truck isn't. I personally will soon be considered an "antique"

primrrd 07-27-2010 10:56 AM

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds
 
ha! thanks.
Yeah if 30 is the mark for human antiques I am ready for the scrap heap!!!!

BGRAFX 07-27-2010 11:25 AM

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds
 
I like the little things you've done to your truck, if your going for a suede look, try olive green or dull red or midnight blue.

primrrd 07-27-2010 12:13 PM

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds
 
hmm the midnight blue appeals to me..
your 91 burb looks to be a "custom" upgraded by a company like Mark III or similar.
those were big time in texas in the 90's for sure. I was in the body shop industry then and some of them would be really tough to get info on for matching colors, etc.
I mention mark111 bc they were the best at knowing , by vin, what upgrades and colors and striping used for that vehicle.
I even had a mark111 dodge conversion van around that time.
Hope you get it running good again soon. Any update on the stalling issue?
