Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds Part II
Not a fan of the wheels but still a fan of the truck. Turned out super nice. No disrespect on the new wheels

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds Part II
It's not even so much the wheel 'look'. It's just that their cost helped saturate the market around me. Seemed like they're on damn near every Square or OBS truck around & why I stuck w/Ralleys on my 90.

Sweet! What was involved in swapping onto the 2006 frame? I would imagine its shortened, but any body modifications or anything? Looks like a nice clean fit. |

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds Part II
Ya frame was shortened body was sat on and mounts were made. It was fairly easy and I've done a few more the same way since. Currently building 72 gmc with duramax

I've seen what would seem special order color combos on older trucks but never a square.
