Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds
My lowered "81" C-10 short wide bed. Have cut out and welded in all new steel since this pic. but, still needs a paint job.
Engine: Cadillac 425 (rebuilt with a few internal goodies...)
Trans: Turbo 400 / Allison 2600 stall torque convertor
Rear: Ford 9" with pos-a-trac and 2:73 gears (rebuilt)
Wheels: Cadillac 15x8 stock steelies
Side fuel tanks have been removed and replaced with a 10 gallon fuel cell mounted under the bed and behind the rear end. Has a hidden hitch, electric leather Cadillac seats, non-air, power & brakes.
She ain't the prettiest but, rides like a dream and has plenty power to spare and surprisingly enough gets 15-17 mpg!
Hate to say it but, my 10 year on going project may be up for sale real soon....
