Re: How about some pictures of '73-'87 short beds
Yeah, that would be cool. looking to have it at least on the road for the summer, then back in the shop for more next winter. First trip out will be around the time the "Our Days" parade and car show happen in La Center June I think. By then it should be presentable. Paint and bodywork will be the last thing to do over the next winter.

Re: How about some pictures of '73-'87 short beds
It is a 5/6 drop. Drop spindles and springs in the front, and a flip kit in the rear. It was not c-notched at the time, but I have had one time when I smacked the shortened snubbers. I will have a c-notch done before it gets back on the road. With the new found horsepower, gears, blower, etc... it will launch a whole lot harder than before and that will not be good if the suspension won't travel enough. I take some pics of the flip kit in the rear as I put it all back together.

![]() Just a couple more questions. I have 15x10 rims all around and the current drop is just cut coils. What setup are you running in the front? Rim size? What drops spindle? Thanks. I'm tired of my truck bottoming out on the slightest imperfection and want to drop the front correctly this time. I also dont want to change rims.

Re: How about some pictures of '73-'87 short beds
cjracing15, that is a good looking truck! I like the 350 idea for sure and I only have one small suggestion (picky one)...remove or paint the white overspray on your fuel tank. Clean 4x4's from the 80's are hard to find and it appears you have one.

Re: How about some pictures of '73-'87 short beds
WOW! I could have sworn I had already posted my truck in here. Guess not.
![]() ![]() I have since removed those hideous rear tires, and it looks a million times better. Brought the rear end about 2 1/2" down. Unfortunitely my camera took a dump. I'll throw some vids in here too. I know its slow but we all start somewhere. ![]() ![]()
