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

Thanks busted! I don't as of now on my work computer. I will get some up soon.
Trying to decide on wheels and tires. Would like to do the 20x10 and 20x8 deal.


I have a an issue with the chains on the gate. They don't have any plastic on them. What have you stepside guys done in the past? Or should I just order some pastic coated chains?

Thanks and nice rides in here for sure!

Michael

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

Seen folks use seatbelt latches on the inside of the bed and gate. Could go to the local hardware store and possibly get some clear rubber hose that will slide over the chain.

I used the seat belt trick with GM buckles on my first rig. It was really cool actually. When I used chains I just got the kit from LMC. The hose was not too stiff and it allowed the neat coil of the chain. I would recommend it if you want the original appearance.
