Lol...I plan on keeping it white but who knows down the road what i might do. I got it to make a daily driver out of it, mostly because my first square was a white 78 GMC back in the mid 80's.

Nice man but im currently looking at drop spindles right now, but im wanting to lower my 87 just enough for it not to rub anywhere. Im running 15x8 on 265-70-15. Been really looking at Belltech 3in drop spindles and a DJM 5in flip kit for out back. What do you think, will that clear me from rubbing, what do you think man, really appreciate it

You might get away with those tires on the rear but you will need a 245/60/15 on the front.

Here is my 87 with 3" drop Belltech spindles and one coil cut and flip kit out back. I'm running 8" rallies with 255/70s in all four corners. I do rub on hard dips. You are only dropping it 3" so I'm going to say you'll be alright. At a minimum, you'll rub on hard dips only. Since you already have the tires, just do it. You can always buy shorter tires later. Just my 2 cents.

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds Part II
We tested the 20 ton PTO driven winch by pulling down an old house...Don't let the looks fool you. It has a 060 over 350 with extremely worked heads, the dually rearend has 513's with a granny 4 speed..I might make her look better one day but 6 tires can be expensive....
