RAMJAM, digging your truck, even the ankle burners! My guess is it will be all black when it is all said and done?

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

Well,
Hard to believe it has been nearly 5 years since the 78 went into the shop. I did a ton of work the first year, then it slowed to a crawl to say the least. Well after 3 different engines and most everything new but the paint and body, she is alive and on the road again. One of the last things I want to do is get her some new wheels, but I am not sure exactly what i want. For the time being I am putting the Centerline Telstars I have. Anything will be better than the chrome saw blades on her now...

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

Mine was put together in the early 80's. Same springs didn't do the shocks though, should have all the stockers where ripped out of the frame. Poly bushings in the front, due to be changed now. I'll build the LCA ties while its apart, maybe redo the skidplate.. I've always run 33's on it, with 8" rear and 7" front rims. I need to get the beard seats reupholstered and back in. They are so old Beard doesn't have the patterns for them.
