Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds
I love the trim rings. I sure could use a set of 3 inch rings if you get tired of them.

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds
from not oiling up the hinges,they rust up and when you go to close them they fold over like a newspaper

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

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds
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. ratty 46 |
