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

wheels are 15 x 8 235 70 r15 up front and 15 x 10 275 60 r 15 out back.
it has 3" dropped a-arms and 2" drpooed coils in front and shackles and a few leafs removed in the back. i think its a total (after settling) of about 5-1/2" in front and about 6" in back on the drop.

thanks for the compliment, im glad you dig it!

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

oh im thinking of putting my step side bed back on. But the only problem i have is i dont like the way the step lines up with the cab, did you guys put new cab mounts on this truck? I was thinking with new cab mounts it might line up better, i already have mine on just wondering if the ones i see dont have new ones.

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

That's a sweet looking stepper Cherub! I like the interior. Was the dash panel covered in leather? ced935, the 3/5 drop looks great! Nice ride.

When I was the owner of the Pick-em up Truck Store in Napa, Ca. we sold a LOT of them. Its been a few years now and I dont remember the brand, but Im pretty sure if you get a hold of the Tulare store and send them a pic they can hook you up. Comes in assorted colors too....

Edit: Oh, and they were designed to sit on the seat, not the floor.

here is a trick... it is top secret so dont tell anyone...if you buy one take a razor knife and cut the little bottom lip off ( the one that turns under and goes back toward the back of the truck) because if it is on there the air dam cant flex and it will crack when you run over something... mine has been abused badly and still looks good. remember dont tell anyone!
