KQQL IT, I have a few pics of your truck at the track saved in my phone as inspiration. Can't remember where I found them, on the internet somewhere. It's awesome!

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

Here are some of my current squares. I love these trucks. Damn, I have a problem.
1977 Bonanza

1986 Silverado

1985 Silverado barn fresh project

My 69 LS swap, 87 sold, and Bonanza all together.

Silver truck is gone, but still have the SS454 and the 86.

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

I agree I have the same problem, always liked 67-72's the most and had 7 of them but now have a square and just liking the lines. Man the right rims sure make a truck Killer.

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

I've been working on this for over a year now. Just got plates Friday.

Shortboxed the frame.
Added second tank.
Hidden hitch behind plate
Rebuilt 350 with lumpy cam and 305 heads (I know, haters gonna hate, boo hoo).
"Tamed" B&M shift kit and Hughes torque converter.
3" spindles, 3/4 of a coil cut off, flip kit.
All poly bushings.
Tremclad and a roller.

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

Nice!!!
Just curious, most of the flip kits I've seen dropped the rear lower than yours. What did you do different? I ask because yours is what I want mine to finish out like.

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

Could be because it has the heavy leafs?

I don't really know.

Exactly what I was thinking. I haven't done the flip to mine yet but my hope is that it doesn't drop it to low.

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

Cool! And thanks

Forgot to mention mine is a '77 Silverado. Chrome was long gone before I got it, hence the orange pinstripe.

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

Thanks for the flowers. Needs a few more details. Then maybe it'll get an Ls and a turbo to make it more fun to drive.

It's nothing more than a 3/8" orange stripe, following body lines and somebody's template (on here somewhere....) of where original trim holes would have gone had I actually had trim.
