Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds
Did you have to get the brackets to go with it or did you use the 73-80 brackets?

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds
i had to cut the end of my frame off and use the '84 brackets, if you decide to do the swap look at your frame ends and the frame ends of the donor to see if they are different, if they are make a template of the donor to use on your truck

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds
Here are a few pics of my 84 GMC Sierra Classic, short bed 4x4. Has a fresh 350 and new 700r4. a work in progress but want to do a bunch to it in the spring:
4:56 gears new exhaust poly bushings bucket seats with custom console/sub box remote start/alarm and any other upgrades that come to mind, or broken/worn pieces that need replacing once I tear into it...Im loving these trucks posted before me though. Nothing better than a clean square body |

![]() The wheels give the truck the lowrider look/personality. Personally I think some big billets for example would destroy the look it has going on.

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds
I'm really not a wire wheel guy but they do look great on that truck. I think it has something to do with the phantom the wires seem to go well together. Also like that it is a stepside man.

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds
On a side note, I love your truck. Came across your youtube video about 4 days ago and then found your build up thread. Coming along real nicely. Made me rethink everything I had planned for my truck. Now I'm at a complete blank as far as what engine I'm gonna run

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds
When I first saw that truck, it reminded me of the a truck from a TV show. Just can't think of that TV show.
