Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds
Thanks JohnC. Im not a big fan of the wheels, but it looks ok. The cowl is a badly attached fake Bondo'd right on top of the stock hood, and they didnt do ANY bodywork (or much masking) before they sprayed the paint. Lots of runs, but it looks good from 20 or 30 feet and great at night or in the rain

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds
I like the stance on your truck. How did you drop the front?

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds
May not be the nicest in your opinion, but it is indeed a nice truck. Looks sharp. Any pics of the interior?

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds
I got all fired up tis morning to go install a carpet kit that's been sitting in my garage for about two years. I bought it from a guy advertising on CL for about $50, if I remember.
What I forgot to ask, I guess, was low or high hump? Well, naturally I have a low and the kit was high. It beat the crap outta me, as I was committed to install it...budget being what it is, and the fact that the seats were now out and laying in the driveway (Blazer rear seats - can't remember the year). So...I cut up the old grungy carpet and taped the hell outta it, doing my best to make a high hump out of carpet. It came out okay, with a minimum of folds where you can see them. But not perfect, by any means. I'm gonna have to run what I brung. Point really was, after I was beat to crap and the time flew by waaay past lunch, I popped a Hansen's Rasberry and loaded it into a plastic cup with a ton of ice. Went out to look at the morning's work. The XM started playing Pink Floyd. I was kicking back and got inspired to vacuum. I did that, then remembered I forgot to cut a hole for the dimmer switch. Did that. Sat in the driver's seat. Leaned back...Dumped 12 oz. of Hansen's and a half a pound of ice cubes all over leather and new carpet. Not even one slurp left for my trouble!!!
