I may be wrong, but I think that stopped with the '80 refresh?

I have seen some early-mid 80s ones. I think Keith chimed in about long bed stepside availability in a thread about them.

Re: How about some pics of 73-87 Long Beds?

I have noticed that and thought it was almost spot on for color. I bought mine this color and have been asked at a few shows what color red it was but had no idea. Do you know your color. I just got my new Nitto Mud Grapplers in today but the tire shop is closed now till Jan 2nd so have to wait to have them installed. I was running a 38.5/13.50/17" tire and rim, what size rim do you run, seem a lot bigger than my 17" but could be tire size too. Very cool color though.

Don't know the name of the color.. The previous owner painted it and said he 'thinks' it's a GM color. These tires on mine are 35/12.5/20". I would actually prefer a smaller wheel myself. Nitto mud grapplers are awesome looking tires! I love my toyo muds too.

Here's another pic just to contribute to the thread.

Re: How about some pics of 73-87 Long Beds?

It is funny, your truck looks darker, almost brown on the sand compared to your avatar which looks more red. Bet those 20" tires don't flex much do they with the small sidewall. Good pic on the sand.
