I need a picture - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

bigblock73 · 12-24-2003, 01:05 AM

For those of you who have digi cams, can someone take a pic of the front view of their 73-87...but take it with the camera basically laying on the ground? This is 87 shortwides truck, and I like the pic, but I can seem to make the blackout of the licence plate look decent. I would like to use it on 73-87.com if I can find the right picture...so if you help me by posting a pic (and allow me to use it), I would greatly appreciate it. BTW - doesn't matter if it is a 2by or a 4by, but it has to be clean.

Thanks!

suppose a pic would help eh...

**swervin ervin** · 12-24-2003, 01:56 AM

Jeff, I don't have one on the computer and it's dark out now, but I'll get you one tomorrow for sure. I have a Chevy Trucks tag on the front so you don't have to worry about blacking it out.

Stingray42 · 12-24-2003, 01:56 AM

throw a custom plate on it from http://www.acme.com/licensemaker/ , make it something to do with the site. It will look right, and no black out!

**N2TRUX** · 12-24-2003, 02:05 AM

Will this work?:p

Izzy · 12-24-2003, 12:16 PM

Here's one of the 83, the cameras not on the ground but the truck is.

**swervin ervin** · 12-24-2003, 02:30 PM

Jeff,

I took two pics of my truck and uploaded them to my folder. They are front1.jpg and front2.jpg

Let me know if either of these will work.

bigblock73 · 12-24-2003, 02:41 PM

Izzy, nice pic, but not exactly what I am lookin for. Thanks anyways.

Mike, I will check them out when I get home...thanks.

stepside454 · 12-24-2003, 03:00 PM

is this what your lookin for ?

**swervin ervin** · 12-24-2003, 05:41 PM

Jeff,

here's the link to them. Too big to put here. I left them big on purpose so you can do whatever you want to with them.

I just noticed, I need to wash my truck. Got a few bug guts on the grille.

bigblock73 · 12-24-2003, 07:25 PM

Mike, got the pics...thanks. I guess I am just being too picky, I am/was looking for a pic I could tinker with and show focus on the suspension/chassis while still illustrating it is a 73-87 in the pic. Yours are great shots, but the airdam blocks out the lower control arms/coils and darkens things up under there.

Can you go out, unbolt the airdam, and take new pictures?

just kiddin.

Thanks again!

I'll go take some pics of my buddys 85 with the DJM UCA/LCA's, he doesn't have an airdam.

BladeX · 12-24-2003, 10:39 PM

if i set it on the ground id gave to be about 20 feet back so even see the truck....lol

I dont have plates on mine. so no problem there.

do you need pics of a lifted one or a lowered one?

2tankin79 · 12-25-2003, 01:00 AM

prolly still not what you are lookin for.. but here ya go...

**swervin ervin** · 12-25-2003, 01:25 AM

Yeah, I take the air dam off tomorrow and take a couple more.

I know what you are after now. No way for me to get them with the dam in the way. You are also needing them to be light under the truck so you can see everything too, right?

Nvbowtie · 12-25-2003, 07:28 AM

Take the pics at night or in the garage with the lights out,

the flash will light the under carrier.

I know my cam does better pics in the dark with the flash.

ElGracho · 12-25-2003, 04:32 PM

Well if Jeff would just put his 73 back together, he could take his own pics...

BTW, what's wrong with the Blazer?

LOL - Merry Christmas!

Joe, noone wants the '73 finished more than me!

The Blazer is burried in snow...kind of hard to snap the pic I am looking for.
