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

Are you leaving both the gas doors? I have a 77 that I'm working on and the drivers tank is going away.

Major86,
Great Looking Truck, I like everything about it. Can you please share tire sizes and I assume the front wheels are 8's.

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

I picked up this 77 sport a couple months ago from a friend. I am the 3rd owner. Second owner, my friend only had it for about a year.
I just found out the other day the knot head took the original stripes off of it. And put these bad bow tie stickers and pin stipe on it.
I could have strangled him.

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

Here's "Obadiah". It's a '86 GMC Sierra Classic. I finally got him dropped last week (All Belltech, 4/6 drop, Spindles, Coils, Shocks and Flip Kit). I have found some 22x9.5" wheels with tires on CL for a great price but after combing tons of threads and searching other sites, I'm still unsure of the proper backspacing, front and rear. Most of the threads were from the 67-72 guys (good insight, no doubt) but I would like to hear from the 73-87 Squares. Thanks for any and all help--Jay2Cor517

Is 13 the offset?
I'm running 4.5 front and 5.5 rear with no issues. I know fronts are ideal 4.5-5.5.

Beautiful trucks guys! Here is my new old truck. If someone knows where I can find a replacement 75-76 grill please let me know. It is an all original 1976 GMC Sierra Classic.
