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

Here is the one I just picked up. I had about 3 square bodies in the late 80's and early 90's.

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

Slots, Cragars, or Centerlines!
The blue truck with slots takes me back to the 80's when these were the new trucks gettin customized! Nice...
***
The kit for the truck with the swoopy front end was made by a couple of guys in the Houston /Pasadena area.
I remember in the late 80's meeting the guy at his booth advertising the truck and kits or kits installed at the Houston Autorama. They called it the "El Shaddia" (a hebrew name of God).
I met a partner of his later who told me that it was originally made for a firebird, then the forms were modified for a square, then later a c1500 chevy truck. the early ones had flip front headlights from a firebird and the later ones had visible sealed beams from a ranger truck in the lower grill. I have seen one at a shop in the clear lake tx area recently.
***
not my cup of tea, but it was a big deal in the late 80's , early 90's....
