Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds
okay, after three days of looking through the pics ill finally post mine. ive had it for almost three weeks, but i just got back from vegas for a week(im so poor now).
the specs: 85, 454, th400, cowl hood, was told a 4/5 drop, not sure but it is belltech. tranny grabs hard as **** in second and sometimes in third, if its nice pavement. did a little tuning on the engine, but not a lot since i have a wife and an 8 month old. i want to restore it to factory looking, do some 5% tint, stereo, all that, just a big engine shiny cruiser. its just time and money. oh, DONT MAKE FUN OF THE WHEELS. i hear it all damn day!! those are the first things to go, they are just ugly as sin, but the 454 makes up for it, right? |

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds
Is that a Grant wheel? If so, what series. The grip seems fatter than my Challenger series. Of course I have the hard red metal flake and not the foam.

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds
Looks like a nice starting point. I do think the 454 makes up for the wheels, as long as you let everyone know it has a 454!

Kind of looks like an early 67-72 CST wheel, definitely interesting.
