Re: How about some pics of 73-87 Long Beds?

Hey Bluex on your 78, who makes the wheels on it? Or does anyone know of a company that makes weld prostar look alikes for the truck bolt pattern?

Re: How about some pics of 73-87 Long Beds?

They were made by Pacer. They are probably 10 years old now. I ordered them through a local tire shop. I wanted welds, but when he gave me the price, I asked what I could get that looked the same, but cheaper.

I was still in HS at the time. I honestly have never liked them at all.

Oh, and I dont remember who asked, but I dont have any current pics. Most are at least 4 yrs old. It runs great and all, but looks like a $300 truck. Not much to take pics of...

Start of the SWB swap, the bed is just sitting in the correct position on the frame.

Rear of the frame cut so the bed sits flat.

Fleet. Sold the long fleet and step about a year and a half ago. Took about 3 yrs though. I was only asking $100 for the long fleet and $350 for the step, which was super straight. It only needed a front panel and wood. Had to let it go for 300.

I like the fleet better as well. I got a ton more complements on it with the step though. At least one everytime I drove it. I just couldnt stand how the step was higher than the bottom of the cab, so it had to go.
