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

My 1978: has the 71 camaro 350 small block, with 350 turbo tranny. Still mod and add stuff to the truck.

Look for some nice digital gauge cluster. If anyone could point me in the right direction that be sweet.

Cueball, I like what you did with the hidden tow hitch. What hitch did you use and how did you modify?

friend of mine did that for me we used the Pro Series Receivers by EAZ-Lift we did little cutting and welding to tuck it up when we drop the truck 3" all around. I will take some snaps shots this weekend and get them posted up.
