Wish the body of my 79 was that nice, she is rough front to back but it will get better in time, what are your plans for yours.

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds Part II
Thanks man. Truck is in really good shape. Plans are probably a wheel and tire upgrade. Maybe some nice billets, not too sure yet. Interior is intact, just a few Lil knobs and such missing. Healthy 350 with 120k original. Nothing major to tackle at the moment.

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds Part II
Yes who ever built it originally put a 91 suburban front clip on it unfortunately. I would rather have the correct one on it. Maybe some day lol. And here's a engine picture it's a work in progress.

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds Part II
Common to install that clip, nice truck though, all it will do is get better and better.

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds Part II
Looks awesome! More details? Do the plans have anything to do with the...drip tray...underneath it?

Quote:
1. New softer leaf packs/suspension upgrades 2. regear/lockers 3. custom fabed front winch bumper 4. New gauges 5. Still deciding on the rear end but leaning to converting to a flatbed with integrated storage 6. Reworking the Fuel Cell 7. Relocating the dual batteries under the hood 8. general interior upgrades 9. Removal of the cheap tint 10. Additional subtle lighting (no brights on the 73 and needs more offroad) 11. adding a NP203 mated to the NP205 if I can work out how to use with the a518 12. new wheels and 40" MTRs 13. new hood to keep the 12v cool and happy 14. Currently the exhaust dumps under the truck and I think I will finish the exhaust to pipe either to the side or out the back (keep it a bit less sooty under the rig... The swap that is currently in the truck was well done: all new seals, injectors, industrial fuel pump, custom high steer, nicely piped with stainless for inter-cooler. Great rig, just needs some bugs worked out and to be finished up. |

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds Part II
Wow, beautiful truck. As clean as that engine compartment is with the hidden coil packs and everything, I am surprised there isn't a nice smooth cover over the top of the radiator. I hate to nit pick, but for some reason that radiator just jumps out to me.

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds Part II
Very nice trucks on here. I have a question: should I make a 1974 or 1980 Chevy stepside? I have the parts to make either one, but I'm not sure which to do. Need to know ASAP.
