i agree with you, my truck leaks since they were removed new weather stripping didnt help either. Like i always say, Sometimes custom aint cool, but it sure looks good. 450 plus horsepower isnt practical for a daily driver either, but i did it anyway, Heh Heh Heh

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

Yes Sir Lol not practical at all. :) let's see pix of your truck

This is it, 1980 took the spokes off, they just were not me, not my thing. I like more the hot rod look.

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

Very nice!

I like it too without the spokes, not my style either. I like the way the rollpan is cut for the big azz exhaust tips. :metal:

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

Thanks guys, I'll have to take a few more pics (motor and interior) when and if it ever quits raining up here

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

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

nice truck poundediron. i have an '80 too, cool to see you kept the front end! can we get more info? drop/wheel and tire specs? thanks!

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

Thank you everybody, the front is bagged, stock spindles, 3" dropped lower a arm which im not a fan of and im going to take 2" out of. the wheels are centerline 15x8 front tires are 215/65/15 and 275/60/15 out back. The engine is an "after the fact" ZZ430 Fast Burn heads GM bow tie intake, carter carb, headman ceramic headers, th350 tranny with 2000 stall, and a 10 bolt limited slip.

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

Never was a fan of the 80' square light but it looks perfect on your truck!

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

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

Hello all, I'm new here , I have to say it took me 3 days to look though all the shortbed posts and I like em , thanks to all who posted pics, I didnt get to do much reading ! Jamie

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

6.0 H/C and nitrous. I'll ask him next time I see him to get the exact specs.

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

NIIICEEE, my father had a '80 GMC 4X4 and it was the first truck i ever drove i was must've been like 6-7 years old, just tall enough to reach the pedals.. he sold it and i'm bound and determined to find another '80 and rebuild it..4 or 2wd doesn't matter.

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

Holy Freakin Crap I love that truck.

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

Here are some pics of my 77 , I put a 73/74 grill and super custom emblems on it , it was a factory big block shortbed truck , I've had it for 15 years , started to rebuild it 5 years ago, put a 496 in and a 4 link in the rear , I got it back from the body /paint guy just as it started to get cold but I did manage to get the center grill backets tuned up and the grill mounted before I locked it in the garage for the winter,

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

My broke meskin ass can't afford billet rims, so I had to settle for the Eagle Alloy 225's on a DJM 5/5 drop.

These trucks look awesome!

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

I agree!!!!

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

I cant wait to see this one done!!

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

Hey guys,

Here are a few pics of the '86 I bought 3 weeks ago at the Turkey Rod Run in Daytona FL.
It has a 400 sbc, 700R4, nice custom benchseat interior, shaved driprail moldings (might need them here I'm afraid)
Haven't got it home yet. It's sailing somewhere on the Atlantic Ocean. Left Jacksonville yesterday, ETA early January '11... Can't wait to get it on the road here!

First mod; rear cab speakermounts & a sub enclosure then probably other wheels...these 22" are a bit too big and "pimp" for my taste....I'm lusting after a set of 20" Eagle 225's:metal:
Love them on pewter01 and LivNLo94's trucks!

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

Thanks, i'ts a 5/5 djm kit with belltech nitro drop2 shocks. i'll prolly cut the front springs and put the shackles on to go a little lower

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

HEY pewter01
do you have any videos of your supercharged 6.0L on Youtube?
ide like to see that baby run, any good kills?

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

should i keep the step bumper or get a rollpan?

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

Don't know, depends what the step bumper looks like....
I like it either way:metal:

BTW What size tires are you running on those 225's?

And, yeah I'd love to see a vid of Pewter01's awesome truck.....a 6.0L or 6.2L LSX would the the ultimate engine swap.. too bad there aren't any to be found around here.........

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

If I were to change the bumper on your truck I would go with a sports bumper.

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

front 255/35zr20
rear 295/30zr20

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

Funny thing im not wanting 22s anymore.Those 225s are looking real nice.

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

i like the sports bumper, but between the step and rollpan, i vote rollpan. Nice truck!

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