Maybe they are catching Chevy trucks with those poles! Wonder what bait you would use??? Possibly a Ford hood ornament?

hey guys. im new to the site. spent hours last nite going through every single page and may i say wow. alot of nice trucks in here. and i never really liked the round headlight shortbeds..but after seeing a few in here, thats next on my list. i figured id post up my 2. nothin special. big work in progress'
here they are..one is a 1981 silverado stepside, the other is an 87 silverado fleetside.

the stepside has a 502/th400. mild cam, nothing special
my 87
this is what it looked like when i got it, i added the wheels and bucket seats

painted the wheels, added chrome around the wheel wells, stock grilles and bezels, and suburban rear bumper

thanks! the stepside was my graduation gift from high school. the fleetside i have had about a month. next up its gettting stripped. has a "rattle can" paint job..looks horrible. its going to get painted either candy purpleor a candy blue. i want to leave all the trim..try and get the cab wrap-around, and the side moldings for it. keep it stock, but also custom

spaseghost · 06-15-2009, 01:49 PM

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?

silvrbreez · 06-15-2009, 02:18 PM

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.

JohnC · 06-15-2009, 02:32 PM

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!

Texasfunk that is definitely a nice pair of rides, I like the idea of a 502 in a shortbed.

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