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

Here’s an updated pic from a weekend truck show. A few big ticket things left to do and I’ll call it good for a while.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

Here are 2 of my squares. C10 is 5.3/4L80 swapped with a 4 link coil over rear suspension. The K10 is stock except for the 4.8 swap under the hood.

‘84 GMC a couple months ago. I’ll get around to swapping the grill back to GMC one of these years.

I don't think '84 GMC grill is reproduced by any of the aftermarket companies. I have never been able to find one.

When I bought the GMC it had a smashed up tube grill in it so I stuck in a Chevy grill I had for the time being. When I decided to look for a GMC grill several years back I decided I wanted an '85 and newer grill as I think they look better. It was actually pretty hard to find one in good shape with in grill blinkers but I finally found one in Ohio that another board member had. It's been up on the loft railing ever since. Hopefully next year.
