Nix the roll pan. The sport bumpers look sweet on GM trucks.

Re: How about some pictures of '73-'87 short beds
Hey SPR85GMC , What are the specs on the front wheels and tires ? Backspace and size of the rubber . The 20's look good . I like the dark center wheel on your dark truck .

Re: How about some pictures of '73-'87 short beds
I was looking (hope ing) for a more complete answer, maybe along the lines of... we roughed the surface and layed glass mat with three layers of resin, then sanded and filled and sanded and filled... or we cleaned the dash and very carefully layed glass cloth over the entire dash with only two coats of resin and very carefully added filler to the craters the used heavy primer to finish out the somooothe look. Sometimes people will blow you off when you ask a question, maybe the answer is to complicated or maybe they don't want to let their secret out, maybe they didn't do the work, maybe they had a bad day and everyone has asked the same question (ie 'my cousine has one just like that,except...)... Share and share and share is main focus of this board, if you don't want to share no problem, I wont ask again. Mick |

Re: How about some pictures of '73-'87 short beds
They have confederate flag license plates in Mexico?
I guess I shouldn't be surprised, I have a mexican blanket here in TN. Bought it in Mazatlan back in the Navy days. Nice wheels and stance, spr85gmc

Re: How about some pictures of '73-'87 short beds
Oh man, I didn't even realize it was a Smokey and the Bandit thing. Crap, now I have to relinquish my redneck credentials.
Fer79, the truck's stance is great. I have a thing for worn in stepsides as well.

too high for my taste also... ![]() I put 1ton springs (stiff) with a coil cut off to help with launch control, but since the local track has been sold & is now a trailer park, I don't see any track time at all... so I'm "de-tuning" it a little, and plan on lowering it via dropped spindles...
