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

Thanks Baclay9. Going with a 4.5/6 drop with spindles, coils, flip kit and C notch. Still up in the air about wheels. Thinking steelies or Team 3 5 stars. Decisions decisions.

Beautiful truck, but the gun rack is what really sets it off.

Hey MDc10 The stance on your truck looks sweet and the color is nice to what did you do to lower the front.

The front has 3" springs and 2.5" spindles, and a flip on the rear. The backs not as low as I hoped so im gona throw a hanger on to get 2 more inches.

That's my next project, paint and body. Need to replace the front fender and do a ton of body work. From your pics you paint looks pretty clean I like your colors too. Don't look like you need much

its got a 350 out of a 96 caprice with stock tranny, runs great!
gonna actually take the step side off and put a fleetside bed on it and then lower it 5/6, i know a lot of people like the stepside and its rare but just not for me.
