thanks 78! i only wish the guy that had it before took more time with the paint. he had some over spray on the white cause he was going to put the molding back on. i would prefer not to have it but im kinda stuck doing it now with the over spray. oh and the holes

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

Well you could put the stock chrome trim on it or some of the newer black tim with chrome stripe. don't know if you would like that, heres a pic of the newer 88+ trim on my old 87. I liked it on mine.




You would just have to buy a roll of the stuff and cut it to fit yourself, and not get a pre cut kit.

one of the local salvage yard guys that was salivating over it last week while looking for parts said he's seen some with newer model (2000 and newer) molding on there. i'd like to explore my options with all trim that would fit since im going to have to put something on there.

i'd like to stick with all chrome too

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

I don't know which ones, but check out car trim too. Anything you can buy by the rolls would be a simple install. the precut stuff can work, but it takes a little creativity and may waste some more material than you'd like.

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

I don't understand what people see in the real flame paint jobs it seems kinda tacky/to busy for MY tastes.

i agree to a point... but only in pictures. i've seen the real deal on a flawless black paint job in person and its amazing. pictures never seem to do real flames justice at all. imo of course

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

And now some of my new buy from 2 week ago(1985 Silverado Short bed)...

Overhall in pretty shape, need a bit of work, A/C Cruise and Door lock need to be looking at and also some bizarre wirring, nothing that need major repair
