How about some pics of '73-'87 Long Beds Part II

[RDrancher]

Hey, no reason to apologize just because you came up a little short (pun intended.) Nice looking truck by the way.

[mud.man.rj]

Short yes, but still very cool.

What are you running size wise for tires. Looks like you are running prob the same drop I just installed. 4.5 front and 6 rear?
I am getting rubbing in the front on top of the tire over any bump or dip as well as the sides when I do a decent turn. I only have a inch or so clearance above my front wheels.

Think it was 5-6 drop on mine.

Here's my '75 K20. Needs a new engine and a lot of body work, but I love it and can't complain since a friend gave it to me.

[mud.man.rj]

75K20, those tires look tight, is that no lift w about a 35' tire and a bit of trimming, must rub a bit if using it off road.

['75K20]

That's right, no lift and sitting on the original suspension that came with it. The front is sagging an inch or more. You're right on the tire size, 315/75R16 on 16x10 white steel wheels with 4 inch back spacing. It only rubs the inner wheels wells over bumps while the wheels are turned. Not bad for 42 year old sagging springs. I haven't taken it off road at all because I don't know of any places around Pierce County WA. All I had to do was some hammering, the rust took care of the rest of the clearance issues long before I got the truck. It only has 130,000 miles on it.

[mud.man.rj]

Well the 75 K20 looks like a great project, will be nothing but better in time. Nice it's a 3/4 ton, more useful for trailer or hauling.
Mudman.

['75K20]

Thanks Mudman. I'm going to be able to supply all of the rust repair pannals, for the cab, and all of the replacement body parts when I get the body work done. I'm going to design my own winch carrier grille guard for the truck. I'm wanting a roll bar from Sterling Manufacturing in Florida. One way or another my son and I are wanting to redo the truck frame up, even if we can't take the body off and have to do it with the body on. I just wish I could find a shop near home that'll let me and my son work on the truck and won't charge a lot of money.

Cowdogpete and ChevyGMC123, those are really nice looking rigs. Cowdogpete, yours reminds me of a '85 to '87 bright red K20 or K30 standard cab with a ladder rack on it. I could be remembering it all wrong. I'd love to get a truck like that. I might do a modified version using my '75 K20 and doing a '85 front clip on it. Not sure yet.

First Post!
Just picked up this '78 Silverado, my first C10. Needs a brake booster and some door sag correction, then just put on the miles.

[mud.man.rj]

Super clean 78, congrat's on the truck and 1st post.
Mudman.
