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

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

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

Welcome aboard! Looks like a nice project but I can't believe you sanded that fingernail polish pink paint off! What color you planning to go with?

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

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

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!

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.
