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

New project. 87 I put in a new GM crate motor, 2500 stall and posi that works. Now for the cosmetics. Can anyone tell me their experience with the 2.5 spindle drop cutting off one coil? Can I use stock shocks?

New project 87 gmc r15 just swapped the stock 305 tbi out for a 406 475 horse and a built turbo 350 trans. Pic is from when I purchased it a few weeks ago.
