I suggest looking at stock height trucks, too. You can always lower a nice truck, but it's a lot more costly and time consuming to fix up a bad one.

Re: nice lowered sb's seem rare anymore
 

There around in my area but like you said some are poor quality, or over done half finished projects that are way overpriced. I'm amazed what some are asking for some stuff I looked at lately.

Re: nice lowered sb's seem rare anymore
 

That's a great lookin c10!

Re: nice lowered sb's seem rare anymore
 

I agree. I looked daily for months on eBay, nationwide craigslist searches, and all the trader sites until I found mine. I'm glad I held out for what I was looking for though.

There's a nice one in Port Huron MI. the 12K is a little steep for my pocketbook.

Remember, these were TRUCKS and most have been beat on over the years. Here in MI we generally have to go out of state to find one that ONLY needs rockers, cab corners and doors. And interiors? good luck.

Re: nice lowered sb's seem rare anymore
 

Well quit selling them...duh! :)

Re: nice lowered sb's seem rare anymore
 

I can hook you up with a all original one and you can lower it!!!!

I really want to do a 2/4 on it with some 18/20's but.......... I have to many to keep this one.

Both the red truck and the black one are saved on my work computer and i look at them weekly!!!!!

NICE trucks

Re: nice lowered sb's seem rare anymore
 

So are you saying the Camaro wasn't worth selling your truck for?????

Re: nice lowered sb's seem rare anymore
 

I know Jeff!!! I keep kicking myself for getting rid of several I've had. I got rid of one of the last ones I lowered to pile money up to get my 69 Camaro. Well know i'm caught up financially and am craving another short bed

problem is, i'm "anal" and there's a ton of crap out there. Have you seen the ones on ebay going for like $12k that are lowered but look like crap?

Re: nice lowered sb's seem rare anymore
 

man that's a sharp looking truck right there:metal:

Re: nice lowered sb's seem rare anymore
 

I know what you mean, i'm in west by god Virginia, where the men are men and the sheep are scared! nothing rust free here at all

Re: nice lowered sb's seem rare anymore
 

sharp looking truck man, just needs dropped down a notch:metal:

Re: nice lowered sb's seem rare anymore
 

yes, and no....I wander sometimes lol

you know how it is, you get rid of something to get something nicer, but you still miss that thing when you see pics of it.....

kinda like getting rid of a woman for a better looking one.....only the one you got rid of you made good memories with:lol: Know what I mean?

I love my Camaro, and i'll never get rid of that thing!

that was the last thing my dad owned before he past away....we took it to a few car shows together, .if you EVER get rid of that truck, ever, please let me know

Re: nice lowered sb's seem rare anymore
 

So your saying people are only willing to get rid of the crap trucks and they are keeping/not selling the really nice lowered shortbeds? Weird......

Re: nice lowered sb's seem rare anymore
 

:lol:

Re: nice lowered sb's seem rare anymore
 

I picked this one up about 3 months ago. It wasnt lowered yet. It would shock most people if they knew what I paid for it!

Re: nice lowered sb's seem rare anymore
 

your in Arizona man, you have no say:lol:

have you even heard of rust?:lol:

Re: nice lowered sb's seem rare anymore
 

all the nice trucks are in texas. Nice looking truck

Re: nice lowered sb's seem rare anymore
 

Thanks alot! This one was garage kept by the man that owned it. He owned it for 20 years before I bought it.

Could you tell me wheel and tire sizes on the pic of the red truck you originally posted?

Re: nice lowered sb's seem rare anymore
 

How much?

Re: nice lowered sb's seem rare anymore
 

Around me i see a lot of beat up work trucks,If its something nice they think its worth its weight in gold.

Re: nice lowered sb's seem rare anymore
 

The problem IMO is double worse for 4x4 SB trucks. But mine will be different....I concur with having a hard time finding them. I traded a basket case 73 Z28 for a running (barely) 86 K10 only to discover while not rusty, the entire interior was trashed, has a SB 4x4 frame but a 2WD cab sitting on it, cab setup for power accessories and dual tanks but truck had mismatched manual doors and frame has 1 gas tank. Saving grace? It is rust free and came with a NP205 TC. I don't look at the truck as it is, I see it for what I'm going to turn into in the end. A nice 4x4 SB truck is pretty scarce here in Iowa.
