Re: How about some pictures of '73-'87 short beds

The`78 I had in the early`80s.It was a nice loaded truck including a 454,Mahoghany paint/Buckskin int.I did a Rancho axle-flip and added a black tonneau cover and that`s about it.

Re: How about some pictures of '73-'87 short beds

This is my 1984 truck a female friend of mine had it in the shop getting a new fly wheel put on it and she told me if I paid to get it out of the shop I could have it. I was at the shop before she finished getting the words out of her mouth. Cost me 600 bucks and runs great needs some minor stuff. The only major thing I had to fix was the frame at the steering box. It was pulling out like 3 inches.

Re: How about some pictures of '73-'87 short beds

Here's my baby.
It's a '79 and has a straight 6 with only 61k on the clock.
It has custom seats, louvered hood & a new billet grill.

My Dad (God rest his soul) left it for me after he died at the age of 56, it was his pride and joy.
It's rust free...hell it's dent or scratch free.

I just recently bought an Edelbrock Performer RPM Crate motor for it.
After I get that in I'm going to lower it and get some new rims, as well as disks all around.

Talk soon...

You got it! The circa 1970 OEM GMC Truck patch (white with red).

I finally purchased some new Firestone Firehawk Indy 500 tires for my 8" rally rims: 255/70/15. Check out the thread at http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=282571

BTW - Are you heading up to Monroe this weekend for the 35th annual swap meet (Monroe Fairgrounds)? If the weather cooperates, I'll be there.

Re: How about some pictures of '73-'87 short beds

a bit different. Didn't come from GM this way.

1983 GMC K30 that's been converted to a short bed. It has 14B FF rear and D60 front. SM465 4 spd with Granny Lo and an NP205 transfer case. It currently has 4.56 gears in it. It was being used as a pulling truck by the previous owner.

It's gonna getting a Duramax/Allison combo and most likely will also swap out all of the driveline for that from a modern 2500HD (hoping to find a complete donor truck with D/A and good driveline). Probably gonna run the transfer case and rear end from a D/A truck as well. GM D60 will be swapped out for a Ford or Dodge D60 front if I go with the modern transfercase. If I stick with the 205, then I'll also stick with the GM D60. It's just that the 205 doesn't have real low gear in 4LO whereas the 2500HD transfer case is like 2.92:1 IIRC. I'd almost have to get the 3:1 kit for it but they are so dang high I'd be money ahead swapping to the 2500HD transfer case. It's gonna be a pulling truck for the most part but no worries, it's still gonna be nice with a complete interior and WILL be perfectly streetable. It's not gonna be trashed like some pulling trucks become.

I've got some more pics of it at the house.

Re: How about some pictures of '73-'87 short beds

Mine has been posted here before, but not with the new changes I've made. I'm putting Bushwacker cut-out flares on soon, and a light bar on top.
