Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds
That color combo on that 80' is amazing. And that 80' front end that seems to be least desirable around here really looks awesome on this truck. Gosh, look at that chrome

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds
I like the little things you've done to your truck, if your going for a suede look, try olive green or dull red or midnight blue.

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds
hmm the midnight blue appeals to me..
your 91 burb looks to be a "custom" upgraded by a company like Mark III or similar. those were big time in texas in the 90's for sure. I was in the body shop industry then and some of them would be really tough to get info on for matching colors, etc. I mention mark111 bc they were the best at knowing , by vin, what upgrades and colors and striping used for that vehicle. I even had a mark111 dodge conversion van around that time. Hope you get it running good again soon. Any update on the stalling issue? |

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds
If you were referring to my primered hunk...
it is a stylin concepts 5/5. - front is 3" spindles and 2" springs. (i removed the bump stops altogether- after 4 or 5 years my lower control arms are toast) - the rear is a simple flip. the wheels are 17 and big n little tires give it a little rake. |

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

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds
2 problems with removal.
1. it gets a little bouncy and the tires will rub fenderwells on a big dip 2. no steering stops from lock to lock, so you have to be gentle. ** not too much crossmember bottoms, but a few hard hits on potholes etc have wreaked havoc on the leading ege of my control arms... |
