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

Here is my 85 GMC SWB. Picking it up tomorrow. It`s a runner but needs some work. Not sure how much its lowered but I do know that some leafs were removed, only saw 2 in the pack, and the coils were cut. tires are 235/75/15. I actually like the stance. wheels are some 1990`s looking progressive mags.

A '76 GMC that got a little bath last week. Still has original paint so was a real pain to get it to shine.

How do you like those door panels? I've considered getting them.

Nice. I'm putting my skineys back on. Love the sign writing. The colour is just right. I'm a fan of this kind of solid statement.
