Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds Part II
 

Here is my 86 k10. Believe it or not this winter it is getting torn down for a full frame off restoration.

Currently under de/construction.

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds Part II
 

What are you running for tire sizes, 255-60/275-60? I love the stance.

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds Part II
 

Here's mine

Post #7, RShook's 1977 SWB....Awesome!!!

This truck is in my TOP 5 of 73-80 SWBs - Classic - My favorites of course are Yezzi's (all of them) and Boatpuller's truck.

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds Part II
 

275 60R15 all around.
I have to really be careful not to scrub the fronts but that's the price we pay with lowered trucks, I suppose. I think the best way would be 255 front and 275 or 295 on the rear.
I'm running stock 8" rallies with 1.25 spacers on the rear.

Thanks Dads!
That's quite a compliment:chevy:

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds Part II
 

I have that same truck in a long bed. I sure wish it was a short bed.

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds Part II

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds Part II
 

Keeping the 6cyl for the shop truck or V8ing it.

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds Part II
 

:metal:Love the Stance:metal: what are the specs on your drop including wheel and tire size

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds Part II

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds Part II
 

My 82 and my new to me 78.

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds Part II
 

Is the 78 going to be black like the other two chevy's?

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds Part II
 

Lol...I plan on keeping it white but who knows down the road what i might do. I got it to make a daily driver out of it, mostly because my first square was a white 78 GMC back in the mid 80's.

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds Part II
 

That's very nice

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds Part II
 

Very nice...I love the silver and chrome look. Cowl hood looks good too.

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds Part II
 

Thank you, the color is actually a gm base wheel color. Me and my son built this truck in 2 years. Thanks again for the compliments. Rich84 your truck looks nice too. Love the silver. :chevy:

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds Part II

Are we re-populating this thread with our pictures from the old thread? Should I re-post mine here too?

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds Part II
 

Nice man but im currently looking at drop spindles right now, but im wanting to lower my 87 just enough for it not to rub anywhere. Im running 15x8 on 265-70-15. Been really looking at Belltech 3in drop spindles and a DJM 5in flip kit for out back. What do you think, will that clear me from rubbing, what do you think man, really appreciate it:metal:

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds Part II
 

You might get away with those tires on the rear but you will need a 245/60/15 on the front.

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds Part II
 

Really appreciate it man hope it all goes good

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds Part II
 

Had it out of the garage the other day, so snapped a pic

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds Part II
 

Awesome! I'd leave the 6 in it. Great find!
