Re: How about some pictures of '73-'87 short beds
I posted my truck in here before, but I just got finished with the drop, so here it is again. 4/6 drop from western chassis. 2.5" spindles, 1.5" springs, 4" drop leafs, and 2" shackles. also installed belltech street performance shocks on all four corners. I like it, but I'm thinking about raising the rear up an inch. the shackles have two settings, 1" drop and 2" drop. What do you think?

Re: How about some pictures of '73-'87 short beds
I'd say drop the rear another inch. Loose the rake!

Re: How about some pictures of '73-'87 short beds
I sure wouldn't raise it. I think they look best with just a slight rake; where the distance from the top of the wheel to the fender lip is the same front and rear.

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

I would love to, but my ground clearance is an issue. It needs 6" to be able to be shipped. Once I get it, I might. Quote:
My truck should be getting shipped within the next few weeks, so by the time it gets here it will be toward the end of August, early September. It should of already been here, but there have been a few problems getting the truck to the shipping yard. When it gets here, I will get in touch and we'll go cruise or something. Know anyone else with these trucks that might wanna go with us?

No, the truck is not here yet. It is still back home in oklahoma. I went to order the parts and the company would not ship to my APO box, so the only way for me to get them would be to give them my German address, which would cost me an extra $300-$400, so a buddy put it all together for me. My truck should be getting shipped within the next few weeks, so by the time it gets here it will be toward the end of August, early September.

(www.cooleparts.com) And there´s a boardmember from Krefeld with a long stepper thats los-lowrider and another member in southgermany with a great 68 C10 thats blukangoo (www.v8brothers.de) and another member is rob73-87!I think it would be great to make a german boardmeet! I hope i´ll get mine thru TÜV and the LPG system soon,that i can cruise it!

Re: How about some pictures of '73-'87 short beds
I put the Coys that I bought for my 68 on for the weekend & took it up to Kellers the local burger/cruise joint. I figured a few pics w/the new shoes were good for sharing . . .....
