Re: How about some pics of 73-87 Long Beds?
Hello every one I am new to this site and am needing alil help. I have a 82 lwb gmc high sierra that i am wanting to lower 4/6 and cant seem to find the right flip kit and lower springs for my truck. If any one can post a link for me to buy one would be much appreciated. I dont want to cut any bed or frame to lower my truck, so im buying a full kit. Prices dont matter but would perfer to keep in mid range prices, not cheap but not wallet breaking either!!!
AND TO EVERYONE THAT POSTED PICS. I LOVE THE TRUCKS. I WAS KINDA PUT OUT WHEN I BOUGHT THE LWB BC I WANTED A SWB BUT AM LEARNING THAT I LOVE IT MORE THAN THOSE SILLY SWBS EVEN THO THEY ARE COOL TO. THANKS FOR ANY HELP THAT YOU GUYS CAN GIVE ME!!! ![]() |

I forgot to say that the 79 is a k10 scottsdale and the 83 is a k10 custom deluxe.

Here's my '76 K20 Silverado it has the 400/400 combo.
![]() ![]() Running collector license plates now and gone are the makeshift mudflaps on the rear bumper. Other than a tune-up and timing adjustment it's exactly how I bought it 3 years ago.

Re: How about some pics of 73-87 Long Beds?
I just stumbled in here, and thought I'd share my two longbeds. The yellow one I've had since 1990, and it's a nice survivor low option Scottsdale 79 with 69,000 miles on it. The GMC is a recent find, a 79 Trailering Special half ton with power windows, air, cruise, and the original 454. The GMC needs a few minor parts to be roadworthy, and the Chevy is driven a couple times a month.

Re: How about some pics of 73-87 Long Beds?
Thanks for the welcome, folks! A bit more background, my great granddad bought the yellow pickup new in 79 when he was 80. When he passed in 90, it became mine with 21,000 miles on it. Just last year I found the buildsheet for it under the dash. It's the only vehicle, including brand new ones I've owned, that's never once left me on the side of the road.

I picked up some 16 inch wheels to replace the stock 16.5. Painted them Santa Fe to match the side stripe.
