I feel your pain, through the board I was able to find a used bezel in real good shape, I may get everything done hopefully this weekend.

mike nutt; speaking of his crew-swb projects, the red one pictured was a dually in the last pictures he posted. At least the front end was. Any idea about what he did for that? Also, from what I have read the 1 ton frames are quite different from the 1/2 ton frames. Curious about how he grafted the frames together for that. I guess I'll find that thread and post that question there.

Re: How about some pictures of '73-'87 short beds
Yes it is a 74 with a later front end. I will be returning it to a 74 front and replacing the stepside with a fleetside bed.

Re: How about some pictures of '73-'87 short beds
Here's my old truck....sold it a few years ago. Kept the 454 I built for it though! The new owner has made a few "questionable" updates.......
I miss it!

Re: How about some pictures of '73-'87 short beds
I would have left the visor on it. I love em.
Man that front end sure looks higher then the back, but you can follow the siding on the house and see it's not higher.
