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.

This is me and dads. We bought it, but are good friends with the group of people that built it.

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds
Great looker 95S ...... IMO ..... I think I would have found another to do a 4X4 resto on & leftthe original ....... original. But that's why so many trucks don't look like the new jelly beans off the line.
Good start .... good luck. RATTY 46 |
