Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds Part II
Cool i post my truck and get one comment and when someone post a lowered pile with ugly rims the whole board wakes up, what has this world come too its a truck not a car. Sorry if i offended anyone i guess i am to old to see the beauty in it and this is why i left before.

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds Part II
I am with both of you. I think it ruins these classic trucks.

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds Part II
Im old, but I still like my trucks on the ground. I like driving windey roads way too much to deal with some top heavy truck wallowing around corners. That being said, I also use my trucks as trucks. Thats the cool thing about bagging a truck; you can have your cake and eat it too. Having an adjustable suspension that rides good, I dont know, I just dont see a down side. I can set the ride height and ride quality I want from the drivers seat, and I can compensate for whatever load I want to put on it. Or, if I get a wild hare up my backside, I can set it off the pavement at the height of my sidewalls and cruise through town. Nope, no downside that I can see....

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds Part II
Your right, no downside. Looks stock or lower it and looks super cool. Think it shows taste and not a boring ride like so many, but everyone likes something different and to me they all have a cool factor in "their" own way.

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds Part II
Thanks everyone. I do plan to keep the truck patina all but the interior. I am going to restore the interior back so stock except a billet steering wheel. Bags are defiantly the way to go.

JChurchill, Do your thang Brother. Everyone has different tastes and that's a good thing. It's your truck so make it, build it, and drive it like you wanna!

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds Part II
MSL is a bit heart broken I guess with not enough looks, every truck has it's personality, all cool on here, lifted, lowered, in between, old, new ugly, fake patina...all trucks bro. Gotta love a Chevy.

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds Part II
X2 ... I personally love to see everybody's rig whether it's my taste or not. I can appreciate the work and engineering that goes into making a custom ride. I am restoring mine back to how it would have been around 1980. Definitely not every ones taste but it is a dream of mine to return to my own hot rod days. I always wanted a Square Body and saw the potential but being 18 in 77 meant I could never afford one back then.
