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

I think 80 to 79 would be the same unless one has square lights and the other is round.

Now 81, is a different story.

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

I really like the curtains in the back window. My front tires are 205-60-15's BRGAFX the cowl hood might be for sale locally on CL idk yet. And Im going to stick with the 81-91 front bumper I like it alot more than the 73-80 bumper. Plus it will match my later style sport bumper in the rear.

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

maybe its 78 that im looking for then? but i know 80 was an odd year and its kind of ugly IMO

Thanks! 2.5'' spindles and 2'' coils. Flip kit and lowering shackles set at 1''. So about 4.5/6

235/60/15 front and 255/60/15 rear. Looking to swap the rears to the front and putting 275/60 on the rear.

I was tempted to swipe a set off a motorhome I had seen going down the highway this morning. :lol:

It had three sets of 1973-91 style taillights on the back. One set all red, one set all amber and one set all clear.

I think it was a Sparta or a Monaco motorhome.

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

Bahh I was thinking the euro lights I have seen in the magazine. Never mind those clear tail lights are a totally different animal.

His truck is definately different from the norm. Who knew 17s could be pulled off so well?

actually, they were in the truck when i bought it. I dunno if they were a dealer option, or some sort of custom aftermarket option. They look professionally made, and match the interior perfectly. I had my Mom make a set for another '87 i had. I think they look sweet and are a welcomed change over the played out rear tinted or plain clear window. JMO.

I'm not a big fan of the body colored air dam, but other than that....:metal:

Any more pics of it?

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

I don't have any more, but i have seen a couple more online before.

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

This was my baby 9 years ago I built in high school/ college. I lowered the front another 1-1/2" after these pics were taken. (I also had the body guy fix the wavy @$$ tailgate) It ended being lowered 5-1/2" front- 5" rear. DJM spindles/ coils. DJM flip kit. tubular upper a-arms. Shaved drip rails/ handles/ cab seem. 350, 4 speed. I made the door panels/ upholstered the interior myself with some help from a friend that worked at a stereo shop. A little gaudy, but turned out nice.

I am now working on a frame up 75. Suburban front clip, 20and22inch bonspeed sweeps that I have had sitting in the boxes for about 8 years that were going to go on this truck. all poly suspension/ belltech sway bar, slam specialties bags. Kp components rear suspension setup. 4-wheel discs. blah blah blah... All the stuff I originally wanted to do to this truck.
By the way, I have these clear lenses still if anyone is interested. Shoot me an email. mcboomport@hotmail.com

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

Nice looking truck.

Welcome to the boards. My daughter lives in the Portland area.

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

Here is another pic of it when it had 17's on it. I bought these wheels off him after he put the 20's on it. Very nice truck!
