Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds
thanks JohnC my plans for the truck are to restore it with a little custom things here and there not to much though. Im still in the beggining stages of the truck but im serious about doing it right I ran the vin and found that it was originally a 454 the guy I got it from was a put gas in it and go type of person when i bought it it had no fluids what so ever im suprised the inline 6 is still kickin. the only issue I really have with the truck besides the inline is the radiator support and right side inner fender everything else is actually decent.

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds
That's really weird that it used to have a 454 in it, and they changed it to a 6cyl. Usually it's done in reverse.

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds
Don't be... it's just a truck!
Look at it this way, it's like a movie trailer, you only see the best parts until you see the whole thing..

"nice truck 82 whats your plans for it"
Lots....Rebuild as much of the running of it as I can , I am going to do the interior in black and charcoal gray with a few custom accents,lower it about how you have yours,roll pan in back, aftermarket grille for the front ,rims and tires...ect. The outside color will be Copperhead Orange.I'm a poor workin man, so it'll probably take me forever...LOL..can't wait to see the finished truck, looks good in my head..LOL |

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds
Time isn't always a bad thing. I've seen a lot of people as soon as they paint a truck, or do something major wish they had done something else. If you have more time, and have to wait for funds, like I do, you can sometimes have a more concrete plan of action. My uncle just bought a truck that has the copper color on top, and black on the bottom. It looks awesome.
Not the best pic, but all I have for now. |

Thanks ...that looks pretty cool on his . I had thought of doing mine that way kinda...with black on bottom and like a Harley orange on top, but decided on the one color ( copperhead ) |

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds
Oldschool82 nice truck! I have the same wheels on my truck and I could never figure out the manufacturer. Do you know who makes them? Was always curious. I like them, very lightweight.

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds
Don't know, these came on the truck and they are missing the center caps, so I'm not sure what they are...sorry.
