Truck looks great!

Only thing I would do is paint the rear drums black. They kind of take away from the wheel and almost look like those dust covers donk owners put on their cars.

Awesome looking truck. That paint/trim option is the definitive post-80 square body in my mind. You say "hey I have an 86 k20" and that two tone with the red is exactly what comes to mind for me. Very nice!

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds
I've had this truck for 10 years and won alot of trophies back in the day. It's either time to sell her or redo her.

myself and a good friend custom built our own three link setup from scratch. bought the tubing and bungs to weld up ourselves and went for it. it is a very strong suspension system and love how it rides. all i have in the front are porterbuilt upper and lower control arms.

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds
Crazyed love the 83, looks aggressive even without the motor, great color choice. Had a few questions about the stance. Looking to lower my 86 and your sitting about where id like to be, just wondering what the drop is and what's under it? Would appreciate any info you could give, thanks

MDc10 thanks for the love man. the drop is just a flip kit in the rear and then i started with 3" drop spindles with stock springs. i then found a set of drop springs on craigslist. the guy told me they were 3" drop springs. when i put them in it dropped the front another 4-4.5"s. here is a pic with the drop spindles and stock springs.

and heres a pic with the drop spindles and drop springs

the wheels in the these pics were 17s but im running 20x8s now with 245/40/20 yokohama S.Drives
