How about some pics of 73-87 Long Beds?

[TheGreenCoyote]

Here are some photos of my '73 C20 LWB. The first two photos are from 2005 when I first drove it back from Southern California to Texas and the last one is from the present. I am working on the bodywork and prepping for a paint job that I will do myself.

Im digging the old school slots

Thanks tractor1963. Do you think it's kind of weird to have the wider rims in the back? I think I would prefer to have the same size rims in the back as the front. Do you have any recommendations of where I can buy some old school mags like this that match? I think 8 lugs are tougher to find right?

Alot of people did that,Im like you,I want them all the same too.Yes the 8 lug will be harder to find,but it will be worth it!

I got my 16.5 slots off Ebay. In fact, my set was offset like yours. I found another set on Ebay, when it ended I contacted the winner and asked to trade 2 of them. He wanted the 9.5's I had and I wanted the 8's he had. They are two different manufacturers, but the difference is minor. Looks good!!! Keep it up.

GM never built them like this....they do now if you can pay the BIG bucks! Check all of mine out at www.bigasstrux.com

[3r!c84]

look at the back window on the red one.......cooooooooll!

[Bigasstrux]

What is it that you like about the back window?

[BGRAFX]

73-87 trucks never came with a small back window, I agree that is pretty different.

[Bigasstrux]

All the medium duty (C50 up) cabs have the small window. I know of a C65 crewcab that has the big window which may have been added. It is easy to follow the stamped body lines (see photos) and cut it out to full size, but I like the small ones. By the way, GM used this cab for big trucks up until the middle of 1990 model year. They actually built both old and newer body styles as 1990 trucks.

My husband has been hounding me fo 2 years to see if I can find another one like her, but Ive had no luck

[1985-GMC]

There really hard to find but there are several people on here that have them. There's a picture of my 83 back on page 13 but its nowhere close to as nice as that one. Id say you could get around $5000 or $6000 for it just because their hard to find and it looks like it is really good shape.

[78-5.3]

ok here is where im at ive just ordered the spindles and flip kit so i will take more pics soon need to buy the body and wheel trim and bumpers and etc etc etc lol

[78-5.3]

if someone could photoshop the first pic to see what it would be like with a 5-1/2 / 7 drop that would be awesome!!!!

[78-5.3]

if someone could photo shop this pic to make it look 5.5 / 7 that would be cool, i think its much better than the first pic of my neighbours house!!

[1985-GMC]

I don't know how much of a drop it is but here you go. I like the second one better.

[big10ratrod77]
