Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds
Just picked up a 79 for $800.00. Drove it home, just needs to be cleaned up.

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds
I like the older style head light bezels. Was never a fan of the '79 that goes around the blinker light. Wish I could find a '70's square that clean for under a grand. I hate livin' in the salt belt.

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds
Thanks, I wasn't looking but couldn't pass it up when I heard about it.
I didn't like the 79' and 80' for that same reason.

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds
Guess I should share a few photos of this one. But I hope to not have her long, she is up for sale. Although, I am thinking about ripping out that beast of a motor for my Blazer. (and yeah, it is in the classified ad section)

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds
Dude, I cant even begin to say how awesome that deal and that truck are. thats EXACTLY what I wanted to make my 79 look like, which I unfortunately had to sell. Perfect stance, Love the original rims, and damn that is some straight sheet metal!

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds
Thanks, we"ll see how it cleans up. Maybe I'll start a build thread when I start.

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds
Before
![]() Now ![]() My 76 C15, paid $800 and drove it home. 350 4brl, turbo 350, 12 bolt rear. Seat recently redone and the A/C even works. Only things that don't work is the clock, cruise control and the washer pump. I want to change the mirrors, get some chrome center caps, rear sport bumper and lower it a little bit. Install headers and dual exhaust, thinking 2 1/2 exiting out in front of the rear tires. Have an older Weind dual plane manifold that was given to me that I will eventually throw on as well. |
