Re: How about some pics of 73-87 Long Beds?

Hi folks. I spend most of my time over on the 6772 side of things, but I thought I'd share my work truck:



It's an '87 Sierra Classic 1/2 ton 4x4. Just hauled 5000lbs with another 2000 on the bed this past Saturday. Works like a champ!

Thanks, not bad for $30 worth of paint and mineral spirits and not wet sanding yet! I figured that this would be better than nothing until I can afford to get a real paint job and replace the rotten sections. I was thinking of doing a two tone like that.

Its a 4in lift with 33x12.50x15, I wish I woulda went a little wider than the 12.50 but I couldnt turn down the good deal on them!
