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.

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

Here is my 86. 305/700R4, 1.25 coils cut out of each side and 1 leaf removed. She's mostly done, I need some clear sidemarkers, and not the ones from LMC.

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

The console was bought from some company many moons ago. lol He doesn't remember who, I'll look see if it has a name on it. watahyahknow, wrong longhorn. Its a 68 with a 292. my brother and I had the truck and when I got the 86, it became his truck. He is on here, name is Mayo.

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

Here is a pic of the 84 I had in High school. I put every dollar I made into this truck and have been kicking myself ever since selling it. The kid that bought it from me totalled it about a month after he bought it.

That is, or was, a sharp truck man.

Don't fret over losing it, just be happy you have one to make even better!

I'd take it as a compliment too. With Jason Hill being the square body God and your truck looking so sweet, it's just a natural first assumption. You might be one up on Jason since you have two eyes for the square body. So, since it's all you, great work indeed!

It started out as a stock '82 with a big block


The motor's been rebuilt and puts out 500+ Hp and almost 600 ft. lbs.


It's got a full 4-link in the rear and a crossover exhaust




I'm currently installing a tubular front end from DJM and then it's heading for paint.
