hey guys. im new to the site. spent hours last nite going through every single page and may i say wow. alot of nice trucks in here. and i never really liked the round headlight shortbeds..but after seeing a few in here, thats next on my list. i figured id post up my 2. nothin special. big work in progress'
here they are..one is a 1981 silverado stepside, the other is an 87 silverado fleetside.

the stepside has a 502/th400. mild cam, nothing special
my 87
this is what it looked like when i got it, i added the wheels and bucket seats

painted the wheels, added chrome around the wheel wells, stock grilles and bezels, and suburban rear bumper

83 Stepside. 305/Turbo 350. MY first vehicle, gonna start on it this summer!

texasfunk · 06-24-2009, 02:54 PM

some interior shots and another one of the owners trucks

aggie91 · 06-24-2009, 03:05 PM

Jason Hill builds some of the best square bodies around. The yellow one was in Street Trucks as a Budget build...I think the Vintec wheels look better on it. The colors are over the top especially the Terra Cotta interior..

babyJay · 06-15-2009, 06:40 AM

Orange is awesome!

spaseghost · 06-15-2009, 01:49 PM

okay, after three days of looking through the pics ill finally post mine. ive had it for almost three weeks, but i just got back from vegas for a week(im so poor now).

the specs: 85, 454, th400, cowl hood, was told a 4/5 drop, not sure but it is belltech. tranny grabs hard as **** in second and sometimes in third, if its nice pavement. did a little tuning on the engine, but not a lot since i have a wife and an 8 month old. i want to restore it to factory looking, do some 5% tint, stereo, all that, just a big engine shiny cruiser. its just time and money. oh, DONT MAKE FUN OF THE WHEELS. i hear it all damn day!! those are the first things to go, they are just ugly as sin, but the 454 makes up for it, right?

silvrbreez · 06-15-2009, 02:18 PM

Is that a Grant wheel? If so, what series. The grip seems fatter than my Challenger series. Of course I have the hard red metal flake and not the foam.

JohnC · 06-15-2009, 02:32 PM

Looks like a nice starting point. I do think the 454 makes up for the wheels, as long as you let everyone know it has a 454!

Texasfunk that is definitely a nice pair of rides, I like the idea of a 502 in a shortbed.

Kind of looks like an early 67-72 CST wheel, definitely interesting.

been awhile since I have posted mine. Now with 1 piece glass and a metal factory hood.

Looks killer. How was the fit on your one piece window kit? What company's did you buy?

Thanks! It's the One Piece Products kit. It fits pretty good, need to do a little fine tuning. Otherwise it's a good kit. Not perfect (at least yet) which some made find a problem based on the price. I don't, as the truck wasn't made for it, so it won't be perfect. Then again, I got mine 2yrs ago and it just sat in the garage until recently installed it so the kit might be updated.
