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

I've been checkin out all the nice trucks on here and I thought I'd join in.
I've noticed this section has grown a bunch since the last time I looked.
Really great trucks guys!

I traded this 81 for a 79 short bed I didn't keep because of all of the rust
it had I didn't know about til I pulled up the carpet. I did a bad trade just to
get those round headlights. I don't think I have any pics of the 79.

I guess I'll stick to the long beds for now, those were the only shortbed I've had.
I've had a few long beds and I guess I like them better for some strange reason.
I've put up a pic with my 77 in the background too.

Nate.

Hope fully a set of real nice mags the tires are brand new! I look up the price of getting a spare to have on hand and they are to rich for my blood.

thank you! the entire front has been rebuilt w/ 1 coil cut off the old springs (belltechs rode too rough) and the rear is stock sagging leafs w/ 2 removed. the rims are 15x8.5 w/ 295/50's all around. still too much of a gap for me. spindles and flip kit are coming soon as the frame gets tore down and painted...

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

I am feeling the pinch guys. Just had a power steering pump go bad and on the first drive after fixing it, my tranny started slipping. Picked up one with just a few miles for $150 from a dirt track racer and thought I was in business but now that I am under it the mount is bad and once the old tranny was removed we noticed the flywheel was cracked. I never noticed it but the tranny kick down cable was broke too. I examined the exhaust as well and noticed a hole in one muffler. now my rims and suspension install must wait.
