Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds
I really like the looks of this one. It reminds me of my old 81 custom deluxe. Nice job man.

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds
Here are some pics of both squares side by side. The brown one is an '82 Silverado with Corvette rallies 15x8 up front and 15x10 out back with 245/60/15s and 295/50/15s BFGs. It's dropped with 3" Belltech spindles and lowered springs (heated to lower 3"/done years ago) and flip kit with straightened leafs and notched. It has helper bags out back to raise it to even it out.

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds
Badchevy, I am about to do a McGaughy 4/6 drop on my 87 GMC. Did you C-notch your? I know the C-notch has been discussed a thousand times and I should just do it....LOL
Your trucks look SWEET!!!! |

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds
Thanks for compliments. I did not C-notch the gray truck. I did cut the rivets and took off the bump stop brackets. I then installed some regular bump stops for the rear. Also put some dropped shocks out back. The fronts are stock. The rear flip kit is a McGaughy's. It dropped the truck a little under 6 inches. Front is dropped 4 inches.

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds
Thanks, That is good info. Where did you get a "regular bump stop" and how is it different from the stock one?

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds
It's a bump stop with a threaded rod sticking out of it. They usually come in the lowering kits or you can buy one at any auto parts stores. I'll try to see if I can find a pic of one so you can see what I'm talking about.

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds
The bump stop is an Energy Suspension bump stop. It's kind of like the one in the following link:

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds
This is what I think my 78 will end up looking like. Clean and simple..and most important,,,, Bad A.. (in my opinion)
