Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds
If you're asking about my fleetside, the color is called butane blue pearl, and I stole it from Chrysler who used the color on their 2006 300M. It is a silver with a hint of blue in it, just enough to match my stock blue interior.
Cheers |

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds
Bob's got a flip in the rear and a 2.5" spindle & a 1" drop coil w/ a 1/2 a coil cut off on the front. It rides great and I really like the even look.

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds
Thanks a lot for the compliment...I'll relay it to Bob
![]() The tires are actually 255/70r15's. I put them on the truck when I first got it and they are the same height as the 275/60r15's, just a tad narrower. They would have worked just fine with this as I still have plenty of fender clearance front and rear. But, honestly, the 255's were cheaper ![]() |

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 ![]() ![]() |
