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

Can anybody help me identify the year and model here? I drove it when I was a kid, and now would really like to know/remember.

email me at ccoulter@snet.net, or post a reply here?

Thanks so much!

To me it looks like a 6 lug axle, so anywhere from 68-70 Chevy C10 SWB stepside. With a rear only shot it's hard to tell the year for me.

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

Thanks. I wish I had more pics. I thought it was newer than that. I know I drove it '73-75 (summer camp I worked at). It seemed new in '73, but that doesn't mean the owner hadn't bought a used one I suppose. He's no longer with us so i can't ask!

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

I agree with Bill. Assuming it is 6 lug, the boxes side marker makes it '68 or newer
and, after 1970, they were either 5 or 8 lug axles. Regardless, it is the '67-72 body style.
That was indeed one beautiful truck.

Oh, and WELCOME to the board!

I love the wheels on this one. Maybe one day when I can shell out 3 grand on rims alone they will be on my short bed.

Second pic is about how mine looked before tear down. Very similar colors.

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

Hi all!
I'm new to the site and thought I'd make my first post a picture of my 77.
I've been looking for a nice truck for a long time and finally purchased this one Friday.
It's a 1977 Silverado short bed.
Only 35,780 actual miles and all stock except for the slimline bed cover.

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

I know and understand that thoses slim line toppers are made in Conover, NC! Because Im from hickory, but I was traveling the back roads of south Ga and saw one on a truck thats been sitting since 1996 when I first got here! But They won't sale it! Those was the thing back in the day and I want one, because of the memories!!
