How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds - Page 141 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

poundediron · 12-12-2010, 11:04 PM

thanks knightowl73, the front tires are 215/60/15 and out back 275/60/15

and just to ad my two cents on the drip rail issue, if your going to modify your truck do it the way you want, but my opinion is shave those things, right along with those dumbo looking mirrors

*BGRAFX* · 12-12-2010, 11:13 PM

I actually like his truck, nice cowl hood and phantom grill. I just know from previous experience that the drip rails actually are a functional piece on these trucks.

i agree with you, my truck leaks since they were removed new weather stripping didnt help either. Like i always say, Sometimes custom aint cool, but it sure looks good. 450 plus horsepower isnt practical for a daily driver either, but i did it anyway, Heh Heh Heh

*BGRAFX* · 12-12-2010, 11:41 PM

Yes Sir Lol not practical at all.

let's see pix of your truck

This is it, 1980 took the spokes off, they just were not me, not my thing. I like more the hot rod look.

I like it too without the spokes, not my style either. I like the way the rollpan is cut for the big azz exhaust tips.

poundediron · 12-13-2010, 09:55 AM

Thanks guys, I'll have to take a few more pics (motor and interior) when and if it ever quits raining up here

LiveAnimals · 12-13-2010, 01:50 PM

NIIICEEE, my father had a '80 GMC 4X4 and it was the first truck i ever drove i was must've been like 6-7 years old, just tall enough to reach the pedals.. he sold it and i'm bound and determined to find another '80 and rebuild it..4 or 2wd doesn't matter.

73gmc454 · 12-16-2010, 02:06 AM

Here are some pics of my 77 , I put a 73/74 grill and super custom emblems on it , it was a factory big block shortbed truck , I've had it for 15 years , started to rebuild it 5 years ago, put a 496 in and a 4 link in the rear , I got it back from the body /paint guy just as it started to get cold but I did manage to get the center grill backets tuned up and the grill mounted before I locked it in the garage for the winter,

I cant wait to see this one done!!

erikgto · 12-17-2010, 04:53 PM

Hey guys,

Here are a few pics of the '86 I bought 3 weeks ago at the Turkey Rod Run in Daytona FL.
It has a 400 sbc, 700R4, nice custom benchseat interior, shaved driprail moldings (might need them here I'm afraid)
Haven't got it home yet. It's sailing somewhere on the Atlantic Ocean. Left Jacksonville yesterday, ETA early January '11... Can't wait to get it on the road here!

First mod; rear cab speakermounts & a sub enclosure then probably other wheels...these 22" are a bit too big and "pimp" for my taste....I'm lusting after a set of 20" Eagle 225's

Love them on pewter01 and LivNLo94's trucks!

nice truck poundediron. i have an '80 too, cool to see you kept the front end! can we get more info? drop/wheel and tire specs? thanks!

poundediron · 12-13-2010, 09:35 PM

Thank you everybody, the front is bagged, stock spindles, 3" dropped lower a arm which im not a fan of and im going to take 2" out of. the wheels are centerline 15x8 front tires are 215/65/15 and 275/60/15 out back. The engine is an "after the fact" ZZ430 Fast Burn heads GM bow tie intake, carter carb, headman ceramic headers, th350 tranny with 2000 stall, and a 10 bolt limited slip.

chevymotocross · 12-13-2010, 11:56 PM

Never was a fan of the 80' square light but it looks perfect on your truck!

poundediron · 12-14-2010, 12:37 AM

My broke meskin ass can't afford billet rims, so I had to settle for the Eagle Alloy 225's on a DJM 5/5 drop.
