Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds
Wow, the truck looks like it is 1987 right now and you just bought it, super clean.

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds
Thanks. Yeah, I expect a few comments about the wheels, but I just don't care! It's mine, and I'll do what I like. I bought it stock about a month ago, super clean. Stock tbi 350, 700r4, 208, 1/2 tons (it will never go off-road). Going in this week for a tranny rebuild and maybe some vortec heads and a cam.

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds
That's the plan so far. I know that intake manifold is super expensive, but back to carb seems like a step in the wrong direction to me.

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds
I don't know, nice truck but looks like a lifted 2wd with the smooth tires and huge rims, rims may look a bit better with some tires that looked more aggressive with all the lift. Overall I like the lift and truck.

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds
I think he was referring to your truck. Bacons truck sits low with 20" wheels. I see the pic perfectly.....You have a sweet truck btw

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds
Oh, ok thanks. I know it's not the best picture MudMan, but it is 4x4. The tires are 37/13.5/24 all terrains. Not a mud tire, but not exactly smooth either. Like I said before, the truck will never see mud, and I don't like the roar of "mud" tires. Thanks for all the compliments though! I'll try to get some better pictures when I get it back from tranny rebuild.

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds
Till later this year they are only available in 17x9. Then I guess by summer they will add 18x9 and 20x9. I'd like to run the 18s. The 17s I priced thru my local tire shop at 816 a set with tax and shipping from California included in that.

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds
18's would be nice, by 9" I imagine still right, so is a set 2 rims which means $408 a rim then. Not bad overall, sure a nice looking rim.

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds
Well better safe, have seen rim designs change or become not available at times so for that price not a big deal. Keep us posted.

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds
After looking at all of these trucks, I can see that I have my work cut out for me if I want to feel "worthy" when I'm finished. Here's my 1980 C10 stepper. Stock 250 straight six, with a turbo 400 trans and a 12 bolt rear. Dropped with spindles and coils in the front, flipped in the back. 255/60-15 all around on 15x6.5 rally's (need a set of 8's for the back). Going for a really simple "dropped stock work truck" look when I'm done. Just finished the 1973 grille today. When I get the bodywork done, going to shoot it a dark hunter (or British racing) green. Got a build thread going - "my first build thread - 1980 stepside". Hope to get it back outside for some better, more current pics tomorrow...
