JohnC · 10-30-2009, 02:56 PM

That's a nice bedcover! Truck is pretty sharp too.

85_GMC_Man · 11-01-2009, 09:40 AM

Here's my '85 GMC and how it looked when I bought it.....

.....and how it looks now with my 5" suspension drop on all four corners, 18's up front and 20's on the rear.

silvereagle07 · 10-29-2009, 12:49 PM

Joe it looks great with those trim rings. Keep em!

STOCKISH · 10-29-2009, 02:31 PM

I love the trim rings. I sure could use a set of 3 inch rings if you get tired of them.

Truck looks really good bud.

joe1982 · 10-29-2009, 04:45 PM

thanks guys, man, i tried putting my roll pan on at work just now, and it did not fit!! i have to cut it down on the sides about an 1/8'' and the liscense plate housing hits the bed. my brother primered it for me so i cant send it back. i should be able to fix it up though.

mwooten92 · 10-29-2009, 07:03 PM

where did you get your rollpan? Most rollpans with the license plate box u hav to cut away at the bed to fit it in.

3r!c84 · 10-29-2009, 09:52 PM

how cool would it to have this on the side of my truck insted of silverado
not the 2mode

JohnC · 10-30-2009, 08:24 AM

That would look cool, and really get a lot of weird looks from people!

bigoletruck · 11-01-2009, 03:58 AM

phx 4x4 · 11-01-2009, 08:25 PM

jgh64pkup · 11-01-2009, 09:21 PM

why do those hoods always kink like that

3r!c84 · 11-01-2009, 09:27 PM

from not oiling up the hinges,they rust up and when you go to close them they fold over like a newspaper

That and the way I understood is that pre-76's (I'm not 100% of the factory fix dates) don't have hood stiffeners @ the hinge mount. I was told they started putting a stiffening brace in from the factory after so many trucks were having the issue.

3r!c84 · 11-01-2009, 09:57 PM

that it right.but in a crash the hood is made to fold up like that.and with the brace there it wont.(just leting you know)

but with the truck and that big bumpper thats not gona be a problem lol

watahyahknow · 11-02-2009, 02:56 PM

i have a 77 with the same problem theres a grease in the stiffening ribes and it bends on that

ratty 46 · 11-07-2009, 11:55 PM

Dig the truck ..... I just sold a '78 a few weeks ago & miss it already.

Not sure about the white wheels ..... It is a color contrast but not sure if I'd roll with it.

Based on the black paint I'd say, at least from the pic, that is is very straight.

Good luck with it. It's sharp.

STOCKISH · 11-10-2009, 04:27 PM
