Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds
That orange truck is nice, but the orage painted brake drums HAVE to go...paint them black, silver...or spend the money and put disc brakes back there.

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds
This one is mine its a 78, got a 305 20 over with headers and a mild cam. 4'' lift with 33'' tires warn hubs, 12 bolt 3.73 gears. The 305 has like 15k mils on it. Im thinking maybe a 383 stroker swap this summer.
this is me swapping the qjet for a better one It sucks working under the hood of a lifted truck. |

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds
That looks real fresh. Ask him were they got those little air deflectors on the wing vent.

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds
That's what I was thinking. A 3/5 or 4/6 drop would look awesome!

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds
Some new ones I took today. I swapped steering wheels with the one from my rarely driven 70 K10, and swapped the rally trim rings for a new set of deep ones that I had in the attic. These are the first pics I think I have taken outside since I put the sport rear bumper on.
