How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds - Page 292 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

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.

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...

Nice stance, wheel/tire combo that are in proportion.

How about a side shot of this beautiful truck?

dpruim · 03-03-2014, 02:59 PM

This is as much of a side shot as I have right now. This is before I took it down another inch in the front. It's covered in snow now.

Voltron_77 · 03-03-2014, 10:59 PM

First post, here's my 79.

Top photo is when I got it 6 months ago. Bottom is it's current state with subtle changes.

mud.man.rj · 03-03-2014, 11:51 PM

Not sure on the subtle changes, but noticed the back is lowered, nice truck. What running gear, small block auto.

Thanks, the wheels are just steelies that I cleaned up and sprayed some Duplicolor wheel clear coat over. I also put on some new 3 inch trim rings and new center caps.

I'm a noob to This site. Here's a pic of my stepside. I just threw a new motor in it and working on getting it on the road in the next couple of weeks

I can only post one pic at a time for now but I'll post a thread on this truck soon. Not much rust on it. Paint, rims, and interior coming soon in the next couple of months

Old School Low · 03-07-2014, 01:39 PM

Right on. I may need oil pan like yours for clearance.

520CheyenneK10 · 03-09-2014, 04:30 AM

Got BFG's installed Saturday morning. 15x8 oem rims off a retired Border Patrol Blazer with 31x10.50x15 TA/KO's.
