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

Very nice truck Sperz1.

I finally have one to add to this thread too.



That's all I have for pics right now. I just got it home yesterday evening. The interior is a little rough and the body is what I'd call "good from far" but I'm glad to finally have a shortbox.

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

82chevyc10,
looks like a pretty clean truck. I think I noticed those wheels the other day. I don't remember who makes them, but are they called Nascars? I was thinking "that is a simple nice looking wheel that would look good on a square body or any boxy type vehicle". I wish the whole lip was polished though. Do you have any pics that better show the wheel

What part of town are you in?

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

yeah, they're made by Victory...I like em, but the offset was pretty shallow, so i had to use wheel spacers in the rear...the lips are actually yellow lined, like the old school wagon wheels they used to put on trucks in the 80s. No other pics as of yet. I'm from the Sugar Land area.

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

Hey All,
Here are some before and afters of my 84 GMC Sierra Classic that I am restoring.
I was able to find original trims and centers via ebay and they were in very great shape.
I just ordered a new grill to replace the cracked chevy grill that it had when I bought it, I also ordered new headlight bezels to replace the cracked faded originals.

Engine compartment is next then interior.

I'm thinkin maybe 31's in the near future or 33's but not sure if 33's will clear.

Mark

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

Here is my '74 Shorty Stepside. She ain't much to look at but she has 95,000 actual miles. I plan to slam it and change the wheels, probably just to a 15X8 rally wheel, this is a daily driver and I don't intend in investing much into her for a while yet. She has a 250 six with a 3 speed column shift and runs drives & rides great. I am planning to drop in the 327 out of my '63 C10 once I start the restoration (on the '63 that is) I'm undecided on the trans though, I kinda like the column shift but we'll see... Oh yeah, that rear bumper has got to go! I am contemplating making a 60-66 stepside bumper fit on her, they look much better than that 200 pound chunk' of steel! So I exaggerated a little!
