Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds

I can officially post up in this thread! I've saved tons of pictures in this thread for inspiration for my next build. I just bought this truck. It's a 1978 Chevy Big Ten, completely stock. 454 motor, th400, posi rear. Plans are a 5-7 in drop, Boss wheels and hopefully a long, grueling, fun restore.

20x8.5 with 255/35/20 & 5.25 backspacing up front
20x10 with 275/35/20 & 5.5 backspacing in the back
The drop is around 6/8.

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds

Do you mean the inside firewall insulation? I think classicindustries has it the cheapest but I'm not sure, should be around 80 bucks.
