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

A 1986 K-10 Silverado, Special ordered Tangier Orange, with Dark Burgundy interior, Tilt, Cruise, A/C, AM/FM Cassette, All power. Sitting stock height, but with a set of 32-11.50's on factory rallies. Has a new Target Master 350, a new transmission. Been sitting in the garage for over a year, so these pics are what you get until I get a new battery installed, and take some more. Original miles are 50443. The original block froze and busted, from a previous owner's non-up keep. Bought off the local Chevrolet Dealer's showroom floor in 1998, and they sold the truck when it was new. Only put @11,000 miles on it in 12+ years.

There's tons of suburbans at the pick and pulls around here to snag front clips off of. Every once in a while there's one on craigslist

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

And here is one I had in 1987-88, hence the old picture. Wish I had it back. Original 6cyl. truck, but had a built 350, 4 speed, 3.42 posi, 4" lift kit, good wood in the bed, chrome roll bar, 15 x 10 wheels with 33/12.50 mudders. A super nice truck. One dent in the top of the cab, where it was driven into a low hanging tree limb at Talladega, at the race. After I sold it, the next owner painted it black. No idea where it is now.

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

I've been thinking about getting a set of Foose Legends, what are the specs of the wheels and your truck (tire size and make, wheel width and backspacing, suspension)? Thanks

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

the truck is lowered with 3 in drop spindles in the front and 5 in in the rear. The wheels are foose 20x8.5 in the front with 14mm offset and 20x10 in the rear with 20mm offset. the front tires are 245/40/20 cooper zeons and the rear tires are 265/55/20. These tires are fairly reasonable areound $700 for a set. I bought the rims off of ebay at a good deal, only $1200 for the wheels and they are $2000 off the website.
