How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds - Page 38 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I am thinking about putting Line-X spray in bedliner in my bed. I have heard it is the best. What are some of your thoughts?

piecesparts · 11-03-2008, 10:45 AM

Linex is a good quality product. I have Rhino in my two trucks and my son has Rhino in his. There is nothing wrong with the Rhino brand, but some think it turns color too quick, due to UV rays. They all weather with use, but I run tonneau covers for the most part.

Nice truck. How much is it lowered? What size wheel/tires? Thats how I want my 84 to sit.

dostuntz · 11-04-2008, 12:52 PM

Here is mine.

This is actually my first post on this board. I just picked the truck up last week. It is a decent starting point. It has a 93 350 block with 98 vortec heads and a decent cam. It has a th400 tranny as well.

Very nice truck, any engine pics? Welcome to the board

dostuntz · 11-04-2008, 01:50 PM

Thank you guys. No, I don't have any engine pics yet. (still trying to clean it up a bit before I start taking pics) I am going to be doing a lot of work on the drivetrain and suspension for a while. I need to get the back end down a bit. My goal is to be in the mid 12's with it. If I need to have a small shot to achieve it im not going to say no. This is my first time with a carbed sbc so I am trying to see what works well on these motors.
