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

how you keep that from rusting from the door handles down northern?
I grew up in Maine and those trucks were rusted to death in the 70's!

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

Here's my old 81 stepside.
Once I finish up my current project I'm going to try and locate a clean starting point and do another. This time i'll finish it w/ C4 front and rear suspension and a nose dive inducing big block.



cold a/c, power steering and enough power to run down anything at anytime or cruise w/ the 700r4

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

Thanks, its 57 chevy turquoise. PPG called it Aerospace blue.

Daily drove it for about 6 yrs taking it to car shows on and off (2nd place super chevy show 1998) and then slowly made it into a play toy.
It was originally a 250 6 banger w/ a th350. that gave up the ghost around 250k miles and went through 3 engine combos as time & funds allowed. I've got some video of the truck running somewhere, it was a screamer pulled well past 6500.
DJM drop spindles i think they were 3" and 2" or 3" drop springs, shackles, hangers and a removed leaf on the rear.

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

Here's the shortbed I just picked up



It's my first shortbed and the reason I found this forum. I'll be posting lots of questions as I figure out how to sort this mess of a truck out.

Thanks!
