Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds Part II

Are we re-populating this thread with our pictures from the old thread? Should I re-post mine here too?

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds Part II

Kind of like these. Keep trimming until you stop peeling off the wheel weights or ripping the sidewall rubber:

(I also had to grind a tick off one of the lower ball joints, and actually trimmed a bit more after these pics, because it was still rubbing on harder turns.)

Here's our father son project for the son. 1986 350/350 combo with a 4/6 drop and a set of Ridler 20x10s and 18x8s. Next on the list is A/C because it gets hot in Alabama.

Talking Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds Part II

So my 76 project engine and trans bit the dust, first the transmission needed a rebuild then the engine ingested coolant, either heads or gaskets, this is the second time. This time needs an engine rebuild or transplant.
In my search I came across a 74 for a good price. It's still a project (What ones are not). Here it is, I will have to sell the 76 to recoup some. craigslist here it comes
