it certainly has a nice rake and mine would look good with the same combo.
Thanks, and yeah your truck is clean! Lowered it would look even better.

Re: How about some pics of 73-87 Long Beds?

Here is mine right after I bought it a couple years ago:







The exterior looks the same, but it has a new-in-work custom dash (see build thread) and a 500hp 383 under the hood.

Re: How about some pics of 73-87 Long Beds?

Truck looks good. $400.00 was a steal even with the bad engine. You can not buy a good set of tires hardly for that.

It looks like the front of the lower door trim is just off center a little. Nothing some peel-and-stick adhesive won't fix. But if you look at the rest, it's all in-line except for that piece. So I think that it's just off center a tad.
