How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds - Page 99 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Coondog1981 · 02-24-2010, 10:58 PM

This truck is a 1981 GMC, I bought this truck from a family friend with 55,000 miles on the factory straight 6. I installed a freshly rebuilt 350 with a mild cam, Headers, 2 1/4 inch pipes with stage 2 flow masters and a 350 Transmission. 3 inch DJM drop spindle for the front, DJM 5 inch axle flip kit in the rear, 15 inch rally wheels, beauty rings and centers wrapped in 275/60/R15 Cooper Cobra G/T's. I plan on painting this truck very soon.

Does anyone else agree with me that these trucks look best with all 4 headlights on at one time?!?!?!?!? Nice Truck Coondog. I used to have a coonhound dog and I was born in 1981. LOL

Yes, they do look great with both headlights on at one time but other drivers do not think so when you are in town driving down main street trying to look cool.

Good looking truck and welcome to the board

BIG KRIS · 02-25-2010, 10:08 AM

They should make 20&22 inch rallys that would be dope.

Great door panels. Did you do recover them yourself? I would like to do something like that to mine. What did you use to get the fabric to stick so well. If you have any other tips, that would be great!
