Here's a fairly recent pic of it, and those are 32s in the front and 33s in the rear:

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

Nice, that pic looks good.

It had snow tires on it then, that's why we bought new wheels and tires. You should try one of the newer ones with the chrome wheels and white letter tires on it.

If you can't use thoose I have more and can get more.

I'd really appreciate it. I'd love to drop it and love seeing the dropped/lowered trucks on here.

Dropped on mudders with wooden side rails. That's quite the chop to go out on.

I, for one, enjoy the chops.

Very nice! I like the 89-91 grilles in these trucks. I have one for my 86 if I ever get around to tearing it apart. Right now my truck has working A/C with R-12 freon in it and I hate to take it apart until either the A/C stops blowing cold or my wimpy 305 gives up. When I do take mine apart I'm dumping my 305 for a built 350 that I have waiting on my engine stand ready to go into it's new home

I have owned my truck for over 3 years and figured that I'd lose the charge on my A/C by now so that I'd have a reason to tear it apart, but she's still going strong! ...Joe
