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

Guess I should share a few photos of this one. But I hope to not have her long, she is up for sale. Although, I am thinking about ripping out that beast of a motor for my Blazer. (and yeah, it is in the classified ad section)

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

Before



Now



My 76 C15, paid $800 and drove it home. 350 4brl, turbo 350, 12 bolt rear. Seat recently redone and the A/C even works. Only things that don't work is the clock, cruise control and the washer pump.

I want to change the mirrors, get some chrome center caps, rear sport bumper and lower it a little bit. Install headers and dual exhaust, thinking 2 1/2 exiting out in front of the rear tires. Have an older Weind dual plane manifold that was given to me that I will eventually throw on as well.

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

Offset, no. Backspace yes. I had them do a 5.25" backspace on the front and a 5.5" backspace on the rears.
