Sweet! What was involved in swapping onto the 2006 frame? I would imagine its shortened, but any body modifications or anything? Looks like a nice clean fit.

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

Ya frame was shortened body was sat on and mounts were made. It was fairly easy and I've done a few more the same way since. Currently building 72 gmc with duramax

A couple 1/8” shims under the back of the bed to bring it level with the cab would do wonders for that thing!

I've seen what would seem special order color combos on older trucks but never a square.

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

Been away way too long, trying to be back on here lately. A few updates since my last consistent logging on here. Been trying to catch up on all these post here still. During my absence I went thru a divorce, painted my truck, finally finished my college degree in computer information systems and currently remodeling my house between buying more trucks. LOL. here is bipolar painted and a recent purchase, I saved a 1981 short bed from the scrap yard. found out the new purchase is a 1 owner NC truck with 140k original miles and runs great, picture of brown truck is the day i brought it home before cleaning it up.
