Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Long Beds Part II
Well, I bought this truck in February of 2016, she is a 1986 GMC K1500 body, but ever thing under her is from a K35, it had the transfer case out and the tranny was " done" or so they said. I paid $1300 for her, went through it and found that the vaccuum module was bent and that was it. Paid $14.95 for a new module and decided to place a new tow truck torque converter in just for good measure. She runs like a champ. The truck has a 12" lift with 40"x18 wide Boggers, a Dana 60 front end, 14 bolt 10.5" corporate rear, np 205 transfer case bolted to a HD 400 transmission. There is a 350 4 bolt main engine that has been modified to give her more then enough power. I bough the truck with the though of spending the next 4 years redoing everything with my son, since he was the one that I had in mind to teach, but this might not be the truck you give to a kid as there fist truck, but I though that if he had to spend the next 4 years rebuilding it the way he wanted, then he might take better care of it. Since I got her I have put a new Holley 650 carb, new power steering pump, power brake booster, new alternator, and starter. I will take new pictures of my progress as time goes by. When I bought the truck, I was told that Dennis Anderson had built the truck years ago for either his son or grandson, I can't really say that's the truth or not, but when I was cleaning the truck out I did find a temporary tag that had his name on it, for that truck.

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Long Beds Part II
Well Papahash the truck really sounds like a well built machine, good for you and especially making it into a father son build, means a lot to me to hear that. Well keep us posted on it and a few more pic's of the rest of it when you have a chance.
Mudman.

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Long Beds Part II
Can't believe I haven't added my long bed to this. 1978 K30 Custom Deluxe. Very plain and body is rough. Gets me where I want to go though. Bought it in 2014 running for $500. Couldn't pass it up.

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Long Beds Part II
First off there is a lot of pretty freakin bad ass trucks in here!! I love chevys, I always have and always will!! Also I was hoping I could get some feedback from you guys on a build I'm getting ready to start on my 1979 Chevy 3/4 ton long bed?? I'm going to be doing everything myself and would love to get some input from other chevy people that have been there done that to help not only save me some money, but the headache as well. Id greatly appreciate it if you got a few minutes to take a look. I already started a thread and heres the link....

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Long Beds Part II
Hey guys, new here. Working on a build thread, but thought I'd introduce myself here. This is my 78 C10 Big 10 350/350 with a 3.73 rear end. My father-in-law bought it from the original owner's widow in 1982 and my wife came home from the hospital in it. It has vortec heads, Edelbrock intake and carb, an mild cam, and true dual exhaust. When it stopped getting driven regularly, he offered it to me and my wife. I call it an early inheritance. My father-in-law gets all the credit, all I have had to do is drive it the past 4 years. Some big changes in the works though!

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Long Beds Part II
It is pretty solid, runs good. Needs some work but still good to daily drive right now. I plan to slowly pick away at it

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Long Beds Part II
I just finished putting a 4" lift on today. It needs some steering adjustments made due to the dropped pitman arm and the sway bar needs to be reattached. Waiting on some wheels/Fuel "Mavericks"

Big blue is looking pretty tall w only 4' lift, what size tire will you be running.
