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

oh man, the ford would probably have saved me!! they had fire works for the show, and large pieces of the fireworks were falling from the sky all over all the cars! I had to put some embers out that landed like a foot from my truck too.

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

NICE stepside! You know how much yours is dropped & what components were used?? How much of a C-section in the rear? Im trying to keep my 15x8 front wheels but use spindles & coils to lower mine, hate to get rid of my 80's daisy mags. Thanks!

Well, then, theres a clone of yours running around. I saw it at the corner of Sage and South Pacific Hwy coming out of the bottling plant parking lot-I think its a bottling plant anyway. Hopefully I'll see yours someday too.
