Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds
Took those photos a a local classic cars' meeting on Friday, where the 80' C-10 was unveiled following a restoration (an unfinished one if you ask me). There was also a 74' Sierra on site:

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds
Maxh, 3 inch belltech spindles, 1 coil cut off of original springs. McGaughtys rear flip brackets. With Cal-tracs. I have only got to drive It last night some, starting to think I may have went to far on the front, I cut most of the rubber bump stops off of the lower control arm. Man it rides allright but I seem to bottom out pretty harsh. I am hoping that replacing the rubber bump stops, may be trimming less, will take care of that. If not I may have to get another set of springs and trim a little less. I haven't had it at any real speed yet, but I could see where it has scrubbed the lower control arms some. At least I wasn't going real fast when it happened. I don't believe I've really hurt any thing yet.

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds
When I bought it the guy had repainted it, I talked to a body shop guy and it's base and clear coat. I am lucky because the guy did a good job.

Some one took very good care of your truck, if that is the original paint this is a sun baked one I have had since 78!

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds
I have since replaced the rubber bump stops. On this set I still cut some off of the rubber, but only about a half of a inch. That has stopped the grinding so far. I took truck for a 80 plus mile road trip tonight, and now I only have some rubbing on the inner fender. I think that for right now I can live with it. Grill I got at a swap meet here local. I think it is just a cheap aftermarket grill though. One could check out the LMC book.

I like white squares the most too but grey and silver are a close second also.
