Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds
Sorry to hear about your dad. I am sure he'll be riding right along side of you in the 74, nice truck by the way.

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds
thanks .... as for plans it will be my daily driver for now. i may swap in some parts from my k5 and give it power windows and locks, tilt and cruise. i would like to put a/c on it this summer maybe drop it a couple of inches. i would like to freshen up the gauges and a few other things on the interior. the motor is a newer crate motor but im not sure which one my cousins race round track and built a new car they totaled the car in the second race. when dad bought this truck they put the race car motor in it and trans. i believe they ran stock modified so its mostly stock but strong. i guess we will see what i can do to it try to make it the way he would have wanted it.

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds
Here's my 87, this is before I put a new bed on it. I have a another cab for it also. I think I'm going to redo alot of the metal work I've done. Since I went to work for a restoration shop here in Cincy, my standards have gone up, & I've learned that mig welding is a major no no for sheetmetal work!

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds
Tig, & planish! Mig just adds metal, too much to grind when your done.

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds
most bodyshops here use mig welders , there special sort of migwelder though they bring less heat intoo the material and use a different wire think it has some tin in it , the current superthin sheetmetal and special aloys require use those types of welders
tig welding is wonderful but the metal needs to be verry clean to be able to lay a nice weld and repairing a run off the mill pre 80's rustbucket with a tigwelder......... i'm afraid it brings you more pain than gain . havent seen the state of youre truck when you had done the metalwork and before it went to paint but i might rather first grind out the filler pull out dents and work on my planischingskills before taking good metal out with a grinder and tigweld it its good practice and when it doesnt work you can allways grab the grinder and take the darn piece out

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds
We use a tig & planishing hammer so we don't have to grind hardly anything, & we don't have to use any plastic fillers like most bodyshops do! Almost all the premier shops out there do it this way.

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds
Stock 15x8 with 60's,just like they did back in the day in North Carolina!!!
Nothing like 1970-1981 cars and trucks!!! I wish that I could find those old PLAYBOY Bunny air freshners. They were the BEST ever.  Quote:

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds
hey, check out my new 82 shortbox and my old 70 long bed that i just swapped it for.
It has a 307 with a cam, intake, dual flowmasters , a turbo 350 with a agressive shift kit (worthless) and 4 brl edlebrock. best of all it has ZERO rust. |
