Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Long Beds Part II
What are the details on your wheels? Size and backspacing?

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Long Beds Part II
Here's my '84 next to a early 50's at a cruise night. His was very clean and all original. He had the I6 250 in it. He light them up pulling out of the parking lot and cheaped them in second too! I was impressed.

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Long Beds Part II
Thanks. It would be a good candidate for a frame off resto some day. Until then it's just a nice looking work truck.

Nice K25. I don't see too many GMC K series trucks compared to the Chevys.

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Long Beds Part II
Abigail is looking a little cleaner. New wheels, and removed that bracket piece from the front. Trying to decide if I should keep this grill or look for an original replacement.

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Long Beds Part II
My 87 V10. Originally was blue/gray, but some where along the way someone repainted it all blue. Someday it will go back to the original color scheme.
About a week after I bought it the snow hit....thankful I went with a 4wd. And with the new tires back in March.. |

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Long Beds Part II
Hopefully this works and it's the right size.... it's been a long time since i posted on a forum
1976, K20, 454, SM465, NP205, 14BFF, Dana 44, 285/75r16 BFG KO2, 16x8 Ultra 164-6882 +12mm offset. Truck has come a ways from the time I brought it home. About a UPS truck full of new parts, countless hours, and several busted knuckles later. I'm happy to call it mine. Waiting on new front end pieces, autometers are still sitting on my tool box, just scored some original fender tags. So maybe one day it'll be "done." ^ if someone like me is searching google like a mad man, hopefully they find that information useful. I looked, read, and googled imaged wheels on these trucks forEVER trying to find a backspace that would work. I wanted tires flush with fender openings, and that's exactly what I got. I saw another member on this site, or another. He had this setup, but only 2 pictures. I rolled the dice and came out a winner I think. I will say the inside of the wheel lip is CLOSE to the tierod end, but not touching. Zero rubbing so far. I had the tire place use stick on wheel weights when they balanced them. I had stickies on my other truck and never had a problem with them. |

However; I think they're factory springs front & rear. They look factory, but don't have any negative arch, even with the 454, they're just flat. So maybe somewhere in it's life, someone may have added the 1900lb type spring? Because IIRC they're still a 3 pack spring, but don't quote me on that. I'll try and take some pictures from the side on flat ground for you. I have some, but yard is sloped and it plays tricks on how the truck looks. |

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Long Beds Part II
Here's my '87 V20 Camper Special. One pic is the day the original owner (that's him in the pic, not me) handed me the keys of this 51k mile original. The other pic is after I did a few mods to make it more to my taste. I put dual exhaust on it, removed camper shell, added tool box, more aggressive treads, powder coated wheels, and tinted the windshield.
The interior is dark charcoal, dual tanks, 350/TH400, and tons of original documentation. He was a farmer, so he stayed away from what he considered an unreliable over drive transmission. Also opted for roll up windows and manual locks. And I love the fact that he special ordered this Silverado with a vinyl seat instead of the velour. He said, "Why the hell do I want velour seats in my truck?" I've been driving it every day since I brought it home. Last edited by Gasasaur; 11-10-2016 at 01:45 PM. |

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Long Beds Part II
Hoping these pics work and are what you were lookin for. I haven't been anywhere in the truck, so I just took some at the house. Truck looks raked in pics far worse than it is in real life.
