How about some photos of 73 to 87 stepsides

I am looking for ideas all. Post your stepsides and setups. Help me out.

Heres what I am starting with. I am looking for rims and tire setups. I am going to lower the back a little not slam it.

Sorry man, theres just not that many people with short steps. The pics will come as people see your post. Will just take more time than if you asked for short fleets or crew cab pics. Good luck with your build too.

Re: How about some photos of 73 to 87 stepsides

Thanks all. Trying to get ideas for tire/wheel combos. I want to sit the tires out. Not sure how to explain it but the older trucks the wheels sit so far in. Im trying to "fill" the fenders.... I hope I make sense.

Sorry if this is a repost I tried looking and I guess cant figure out how to use search funciton.

Re: How about some photos of 73 to 87 stepsides

Thanks for all the photos. Really nice trucks....

Any suggestions on what tire combos I should run with stock height or maybe a small rear drop? I cant afford a total drop kit right now.....

Can any one tell me were some of the rear bumpers came from? I have the terrible bumper that fits fleetsides.... I would like to put a smaller one on(shorter)
