Gotta get me some cab lights!

Ole87 · 08-27-2013, 08:26 PM

New to the forum thought I'd add my 87 I just bought recently.

If you're referring to mine (78 stepside, long bed), it's GM color code 20, "Light Blue".

79Betty · 09-02-2013, 08:56 AM

Nice! I've been looking for one of those beds for 2 years as my k10 origionally had one.

My '78 in High School (pic probably taken in 1983). and my '77 present day....

Remon. · 09-04-2013, 09:23 AM

Nice ones! Cool that you have a picture of your High school truck! Do you try to make it look like your '78 or was it by coincidence that they look almost the same?

**truckfan** · 09-04-2013, 09:28 AM

My "new" truck is a 454. I was looking for a clean truck of the 73-80 vintage and found this one owner that happened to have a big-block. I would have bought it regardless of the color, but the Russet Metallic/Santa Fe Tan two-tone combo was all the sweeter. it is a bit by design that they look close, accessory-wise. here is the "before" shot of the "new" truck when i bought it from the 80 YO P.O.

thanks.

Remon. · 09-04-2013, 09:36 AM

Dang, it looks nice and straight!

Hahaha! Some of my coworkers asked if I was trying to be "Farm Truck".

I never posted pictures in this thread of my newest truck when I got it. 76 Sierra 2wd LWB 454 with AC. I've since replaced the missing center cap for the American Racing "Hammer" rims. I can't believe they still make them!

Super Nice!

GM_For_Life · 09-08-2013, 06:51 PM

First post! Grew up with GM trucks, drive GM trucks, love GM trucks! Since these pics exhaust manifolds are now headers on dual 2 1/2" flowmasters, performer intake with 750 4bbl, new plugs/wire/cap, no more AC, bed toolbox and some (rubber) diamond plate floormats! Plus new u-joints, rebuilt th400, scratches, and lots of ranch work done! More to come

CDNchevydude · 09-08-2013, 08:29 PM

mud.man.rj · 09-14-2013, 09:17 PM

The rear black rims look good, do you have a front set. Nice to see a different color.

Yea I have the boss 338's for the front. I am just having issue finding someone to machine the center bores to fit the hubs for less than 120
