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

Been a lurker here for a long time. Getting excited about doing a 5.3 swap on my '87.

It is a very stock (other than being lowered) '87 swb 2wd TBI 305 silverado. I have had it since 2000 and it's been in the family a LONG time. The 305 is starting to get a little weak (like it was ever a power house ). I have lowered it 5/6 with spindles, springs, and flip kit. I think she looks pretty good!

Here are a couple of pics.

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

That's cool that you know about spudnuts! That place hasn't been open for years! My brother worked there when we were in hign school. I still get back that way a couple of time a year. When we came through the weekend of the 4th of July there was a nice '66 short fleet on the side of 84 in Littlefield.

I think when people see trucks like this sitting around places that you havent seen on this website they need to run over and slide a paper somewhere with the website so they can all come and join us

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

Here is my new truck: Red Rocker. Built by Hills Hot Rods for Travis Noack of Streettrucks (Truckin at the time). Travis had sold the truck, and I just picked it up from the guy he sold it to.

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

I'm sure I'm not the only person in the truck community wondering how much a full custom from Hills cost...
Just wonder how much Travis got Red Rocker done for vs what Max paid as the 3rd owner....
I remember when it was just an old blue heap. I used to follow every build.

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

Travis got the truck built 5 years ago, and it was featured at SEMA 04. He kept the truck until early 07 i believe, then it was sold to an audio shop in Virginia. February 09 I decided to start looking for the truck thinking i might be able to "steal it" (price wise not literally) due to the economy. I found the owner thanks to a reply on mautofied. The owner was quite shocked at me looking for the truck. I asked if he wanted to sell it and he replied "sure for $35,000." I was 18 and that just wouldnt work. I told him to let me know if he ever actually needed to sell the truck to please let me know.
About a month ago now, he called again with a lower price. I told him the most i could pay and he took it! I talked to my boss at the GM dealer i work for and he approved buying it and in house financing it. 2 weeks later i was at the US Canadian border picking up my dream truck.
I know this truck has been a dream for alot of square body guys, and i know im very lucky to own it especially at my age. This is the truck that got me into the truck scene. I followed the build and read every article about it. I even went to visit Hills Hot Rods when i was 14 with my dad (drives long haul truck) because i had seen this truck in the magazines. You can ask CHEESE, he was there. I never thought i would own it, but now i do.
I can assure you all that Red Rocker will be taken care of. It gets parked inside everynight in a heated alarmed shop with about 20 other show cars. The plan is to drive it and show it up here where nobody has seen it yet, atleast not in person. I will not be taking any of the credit for it. Hills Hot Rods built this truck; their name is on the back window once again. It was Travis Noacks project, and it will always be that way.
