god somebody just bring one of them short beds to me, I'll keep her and fix her up good and right. I'd love to have one just can't afford one around here. I'd take a long bed and then turn it into a short bed if it was free and saving one from the scrap heap.

DBLSPRT68 · 09-07-2010, 12:56 AM

Here is my sad pic. It's an 85. Only 500 made that year. I tried to buy the cab and bed for 3 weeks, with no luck. It was like my money wasn't worth the little bit of help I needed from them? Anyway......the truck was crushed and is gone forever! Oh, I picked up another 85 about a year later in much better shape. Look for a build thread on it soon

not counting the cost of the rims themselves.... so yeah, they can be popular to square owners,.. IMO even pre 73 trucks look good with em too

if you can get em for cheap.. grab em clean em up and sell em.. prolly make you a couple bucks

they look good on later model trucks as well, I put a set on a '95 , look'd really good on it.
the van rally's look good on trailors as well.

Actually, I got real lucky with the rally's I came up on... The junk-yard here sold me 4 rims with the caps for $100.

'course they looked like they were dipped in silt, and dirt for 50 years. Don't have any pics.....

but what wonders a lil elbow grease,.. polish and spray-can paint will do..

It had 10" deep 'vette rally's on it when i got the truck from my dad.. but needed tires,.. and couldn't afford the new tires for those rims...

BTW.. yes they do look good on newer trucks as well.... Square Style never dies!!!

spudz · 09-07-2010, 05:28 PM

MalibuSSwagon · 09-07-2010, 09:01 PM

Woah Do they have any 78-83 Malibu wagons or 78-88 el caminos in that european yard? I would kill for some euro tail lenses for my wagon.

Srubydo1986 · 09-07-2010, 09:20 PM

they are really popular and expensive here

Conversion vans are the most common vans here like Starcraft or Transcar 2000 but half of the owners dont know what they have.

those are highly popular here along with the 80s Caprices and Impalers
but people dont run euro tail lights or Lexus Lights as they are know here.

82chevy350 · 09-08-2010, 12:09 AM

Damn I was hoping. Parts for the wagon are hard enough to find here! Of course all the old iron around here has been crushed long ago.

70BLAZERX2 · 09-08-2010, 08:10 PM

seing all those american muscle cars and vans over there...They must not like SAAB'S over there either...I hate those cars...LOL SAAB'S that is..

Took me a week to pull a manual trans out of one because they decided to make it part of the oil pan and the motor is in backwards...clutch needs a special tool down behind the radiator to get it apart...Never ,ever again will i work on a SAAB

SAAB =

70BLAZERX2 · 09-08-2010, 08:17 PM

what about the car..its a malibu or a grand am around 78-80 to the left behind the white corvette..you will see it..2 door..has amber taillight's in it...How much will those be shipped to Tennessee 37745 zip code.
In US funds that is..Thanks
