WOW! That truck is clean. I especially like the beauty rings with the caps. If it's a survivor and is original, I'd leave it that way. Just my .02.

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

Truck looks really clean. I think just about anything you do to it will look good. Just really depends on what you really like about the truck. To me long beds never looked all that good lowered too much. Keep us updated.

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

John,
I agree about not lowering it too much...I was thinking about 3 inches - although I saw a long bed the other day that had 5 inch all around and it looked pretty good!
Thanks,
Mark

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

Nothing wrong with it, I just personally don't like it. I guess the lowering of them just magnifies the length of the bed.

Yeah the way that picture was taken and that huge lip on those rear wheels (now that I`ve been staring at it for the past 30 min hehehehe) its starting to look to me like a 24-20 setup. Either way....ONE SICK TRUCK. Love it! That truck is the reason why I went with a LWB instead of short.

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

Here is my '78 heavy half GMC



This is a very old pic, truck dosent look this good anymore. In this pic was 2.5" WC spindles, Shackle/hanger maxed out for 4".

Rims are Pacer's 15x10 with 275/60 rear, 15x8 with a 255/60 front.

Shortly after this, I blew the engine, it sat for three years, I chopped it in half to make a shortbed, built the engine and put a 700r4 in it. That was almost 6 yrs ago and I bet I havent put 30k miles on it....

Looks like the bumper off a towtruck. If I remember correctly they're beefy so you can push start vehicles.
