Re: How about some pictures of '73-'87 short beds
They came on as far as I know, the '67-'72 Chevy trucks. Maybe others also.

Re: How about some pictures of '73-'87 short beds
URECKME, are those holes in your finder? Looks like bullet holes. Other than that, looks like a nice truck. Where are you getting the 700R4? With that set up what RPM do you think you will be getting around 60mph?

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds
The first two are of my truck and the last is one I got in a email attachment and once I get my step side bed I would like it to look like that.What do you think of the wire wheels there kind of growing on me.

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds
Exactly! the wires give it a tall lean stance so until I can afford some new tires for my pontiac rally II wheels im stuck and content with the wires.

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds
what size are those wires? they look real tall . 20's?? i think that with the truck lowered down and a step side bed (to break up all that tall and lean stance your talking about) it will look pretty good. if we remember older cars with wire wheels that we love had a lot more bulbous and shapely fenders and lines and there is a reason we call it a short box chevy....

Re: How about some pictures of '73-'87 short beds
cjracing15, that is a good looking truck! I like the 350 idea for sure and I only have one small suggestion (picky one)...remove or paint the white overspray on your fuel tank. Clean 4x4's from the 80's are hard to find and it appears you have one.

Re: How about some pictures of '73-'87 short beds
I am trying to figure out more information about putting the 88-98 beds on these trucks.. I have one currently on my 67 and I am selling it.. a guy called me about putting it on a 85... He was worried about the gas tank that is on the outside of the frame.. do any of you know what would have to happen or if these beds clear? Please PM so I dont highjack this thread but I saw the picture of one here on page 6..
