How about some pics of 73-87 Long Beds?

[ecniv]

Just bought this 86, $650. Needs both doors, but it runs fantastic.

It's a 3/4 ton, 2WD. It's a 350/auto (th400? Haven't climbed under to look yet), options sticker in the glovebox says it has 4.10 rear gears. I will take more pics, but here are a few:





Thanks for the interest.

new to the site. i have been lurking for a couple months tho. just traded my 87 honda for this 77 chevy 3/5 this is the only pic i have right now, this is what it looks like just without the limber rack on it.



one question i have is how do i know if its a c10,20 or 30..or is it a k10,20 or 30?

[GMC91]

The C model is a two wheel drive truck. The K is a four wheel drive model. the 10=half ton 20=3/4 ton 30=1 ton. So if your like me I got a k20 which is a 3/4 ton four wheel drive.

[lsmft]

yea i think it is a k20 then. thanks for the help

[Drzronnie]

[Scootin 81 C20]

[rubberducky]

Here's my '82 C10.
It's got three inch drop spindles on the front, and the drive train out of an 85 GMC P35 motor-home (350 four barrel/ TH400).

[slammed longbed84]

ill get more pics as soon as weather clears up!!!

[BGRAFX]

What drop are on those trucks?

[slammed longbed84]

the 84 is a flip in rear c notch, and 2" spindle and 2 inch spring in front, the shop truk is coil and a half front and shackle and leafs removed from rear, someday shop truk will sit like my 84 does with coys also!!!

[bigdnew]

how does 84 ride with that much drop also what tire/wheel combo are you running

[bharrison1]

Here are my two long beds

[slammed longbed84]

bharrison, that truk with the different hood used to be mine!! and the answer to the other question is, it rides good but you have to watch the pot holes and such!!

[bharrison1]

I traded a guy in towanda an S10 for it awhile back .It needed some work but its a good driver now
