Here's Mine. Work in progress.

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Long Beds Part II
 

What are the details on your wheels? Size and backspacing?

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Long Beds Part II
 

Hopefully I'll get my long bed put back on pretty soon.

That's a sweet rig do you have anymore pics?

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Long Beds Part II
 

Here's my '84 next to a early 50's at a cruise night. His was very clean and all original. He had the I6 250 in it. He light them up pulling out of the parking lot and cheaped them in second too! I was impressed.

Nice truck. That 67 looks clean too!!!

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Long Beds Part II
 

Thanks. It would be a good candidate for a frame off resto some day. Until then it's just a nice looking work truck.

Here's my new-to-me, first-time-truck-owner, 1977 GMC k25 long bed.

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Long Beds Part II
 

Nice K25. I don't see too many GMC K series trucks compared to the Chevys.

Here's my '87 Custom Deluxe......in Phx.

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Long Beds Part II
 

Finally getting it put back together.

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Long Beds Part II
 

Wow, that's a big difference. Nice!

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Long Beds Part II
 

Abigail is looking a little cleaner. New wheels, and removed that bracket piece from the front. Trying to decide if I should keep this grill or look for an original replacement.

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Long Beds Part II
 

Is that the original paint on the GMC?

My 87 V10. Originally was blue/gray, but some where along the way someone repainted it all blue. Someday it will go back to the original color scheme.
About a week after I bought it the snow hit....thankful I went with a 4wd.

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Long Beds Part II
 

Hopefully this works and it's the right size.... it's been a long time since i posted on a forum

1976, K20, 454, SM465, NP205, 14BFF, Dana 44, 285/75r16 BFG KO2, 16x8 Ultra 164-6882 +12mm offset. Truck has come a ways from the time I brought it home. About a UPS truck full of new parts, countless hours, and several busted knuckles later. I'm happy to call it mine. Waiting on new front end pieces, autometers are still sitting on my tool box, just scored some original fender tags. So maybe one day it'll be "done."

^ if someone like me is searching google like a mad man, hopefully they find that information useful. I looked, read, and googled imaged wheels on these trucks forEVER trying to find a backspace that would work. I wanted tires flush with fender openings, and that's exactly what I got. I saw another member on this site, or another. He had this setup, but only 2 pictures. I rolled the dice and came out a winner I think. I will say the inside of the wheel lip is CLOSE to the tierod end, but not touching. Zero rubbing so far. I had the tire place use stick on wheel weights when they balanced them. I had stickies on my other truck and never had a problem with them.

Very nice!

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Long Beds Part II
 

Here's my newly acquired '81 Silverado C20, 454, deluxe camper special, factory cb radio , 3.21 rear end

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Long Beds Part II
 

Is that a hand throttle I also see? Super clean looking truck, I love green interiors.

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Long Beds Part II
 

Yep, it's a hand throttle. Looks original, or at least it's been in it for some time.

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Long Beds Part II
 

Awesome. I've seen it in the parts catalog, never in a truck. What're your plans for it? (the truck)

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Long Beds Part II
 

I usually keep my old trucks for a year or two and then sell. We'll see how long this one lasts in the driveway. This one's super clean. The box is near perfect, not a dent. It had a camper in it for it's entire life. It's also got the factory Delco AM /FM /CB radio, which I haven't come across before.

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Long Beds Part II
 

I've never seen the radio in person, only in pictures. How does the handset hang on the bezel? That truck is an awesome find.

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Long Beds Part II
 

The handset is quite small, and light. It just has a velcro backing.

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Long Beds Part II
 

Wow, Im at a loss for words. That truck is immaculate.

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Long Beds Part II
 

What size lift are you running on your truck? And do you have any pictures from the side angle?

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Long Beds Part II
 

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Long Beds Part II
 

Funny you ask that because I looked thru google images and here for hours looking at trucks running that tire size. Almost all of them had a lift of some sort. The other truck I saw with this setup, at stock height, the tire looked more stuffed. My truck does have a 1" BL, was there when I got it, so I left it. I tried getting some fender height measurements from guys, but had no luck on that.
However; I think they're factory springs front & rear. They look factory, but don't have any negative arch, even with the 454, they're just flat. So maybe somewhere in it's life, someone may have added the 1900lb type spring? Because IIRC they're still a 3 pack spring, but don't quote me on that. I'll try and take some pictures from the side on flat ground for you. I have some, but yard is sloped and it plays tricks on how the truck looks.

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Long Beds Part II
 

Here's my '87 V20 Camper Special. One pic is the day the original owner (that's him in the pic, not me) handed me the keys of this 51k mile original. The other pic is after I did a few mods to make it more to my taste. I put dual exhaust on it, removed camper shell, added tool box, more aggressive treads, powder coated wheels, and tinted the windshield.

The interior is dark charcoal, dual tanks, 350/TH400, and tons of original documentation. He was a farmer, so he stayed away from what he considered an unreliable over drive transmission. Also opted for roll up windows and manual locks. And I love the fact that he special ordered this Silverado with a vinyl seat instead of the velour. He said, "Why the hell do I want velour seats in my truck?"

I've been driving it every day since I brought it home.

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Long Beds Part II
 

Hoping these pics work and are what you were lookin for. I haven't been anywhere in the truck, so I just took some at the house. Truck looks raked in pics far worse than it is in real life.

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Long Beds Part II

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Long Beds Part II
