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

I looked, I don't have a brochure, I have the CCC limited warranty papers... I never filled them out, I wonder if they would still warranty some of that stuff....LOL
As far as dumping the other stuff, I am pretty sure I will be getting ready of it, I'm sure we could probably work something out.

I love that cab spoiler. I'm a Pontiac guy first and foremost and it has the appearance of a '70s Trans Am spoiler.

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

Here are a few pics of our family member. Purchased new in 1983 in southern Va. Been garage kept most of its life. 160k on original 305. Motor swap is in the future. We recently added Boss 338 rims 9.5 x 18 at all 4 corners and did a 4 in drop front and rear, McGauphys 13" big brake upgrade and spindles, true duals and it sounds really good for a small displacement motor. Thanks for looking.

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

295/45/18 Hankooks. I should have probably gone with the staggered rims and it would have cleared a little better with a narrower tire in the front. I was thinking about being able to rotate etc, but who cares about that anymore.

Wow man. That wheel tire combo looks great! I think you just changed my mind about wheel size. I was going to go with 20's but I may have to reconsider now.

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

Thanks, they are 15x10's no offense to anyone running the 20's I'm just getting tired of seeing these older trucks with tires and wheels worth more than the truck itself. There are some that look great with them ... Some..

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

We are very happy with the 18s". I wanted the somewhat taller sidewall. Both to help with ride quality and to fill in the fenders. N2trux has 20"s on his and I like the combo of hi stance w/ the larger rims. We didn't want to get too crazy and felt the 18"s were a nice step up from the stock rims and also helped on tire selection and cost. They ride nice and pleased overall with the combonation.

I agree Malibu, that look is sweet and the truck has a great stance.
