and welcome to greatest Chevy and Gmc truck forum

welcome and nice truck!! ask away... this place is awesome and no one minds "noobie" questions!LOL:chevy:

Nice truck! Better looking then mine. And yea, they don't mind questions and they all help out here.

Thanks bro's

But the pictures make it look good man if u saw the inside of the bed u would frown lol...

I new to fix the door hinge the drivers door its sagging i see where it happening i saw a similar thread ppl said it could be the pins but it isn't that its the welds .....What would be the best way to fix it?

Thanks bro's

But the pictures make it look good man if u saw the inside of the bed u would frown lol...

if the beds that bad and your not too sure about how to go about fixing it you could always search craigslist... seen a fleetside on there yesterday for $200. and as for the door hinge i'd just buy the pin kit from lmc... cheap fix.

:agree: You can find good beds quite often if you keep an eye out. You can also find the door pin kits at your local parts store too. Just remember all projects start somewhere. Some are rougher than others, but that just means you get to know your truck more! :lol: Just keep thinking positive, and you will make positive ground. It's hard sometimes I know, but this board is a great place for positive re-enforcement.

Yeah im tried looking on CL this past week and not even car-part.com doesn't either the closest one in Indiana

Nice truck, and we were all Newbies at one time...;)

Yeah thanks for the support still looking for a bed....the idea of just kutting the bed floor and and replacing comes to mind so i might have to go that route...

truck looks awsome great buy!!!. also a great project. just work at it slow and it will come out awsome.

Thanks...

How wide can i go until ill having to tub it in the rear?

you guys are alot of help SIKE

:metal::smoke::lol::exit::

what a waste of time

sorry dude i dont know the answer to your question. with an attitude like that its likely no one else does either.

maybe try bumping your thread up if you dont get a response or ask in the suspension section. thanks, Dennis

Yeah thanks for the support still looking for a bed....the idea of just kutting the bed floor and and replacing comes to mind so i might have to go that route...

thats what i would do

There are not to many that gander at the build section, post the same question in the reg 73-87 forum and you will get a responce, there is a guy on here that slapped some 315's on the rear, in my opinion that is plenty of meat for a street set-up.

thanks for the feedback

I need a camera anyone got one lol mines broke

Today i didn't do much just repaint the Door panels and im still looking for 700r4 i bought a bed floor just waiting on the next check to take it to the body shop

just bolt a new floor in or a used floor. its basicly all bolted in besides a couple tack welds. i wouldnt patch a rusty floor that could be replaced. then just re seam seal it and your golden
