Welcome to the board blackprimer79,
It looks like you came bearing gifts . We all like pics of a nice looking Squarebody . Nice stance . Post some specs like the tire size , wheel size , etc in the regular 73-87 Message board and introduce yourself so every one can see that truck . I do not know how many members search the sticky threads but I am sure your truck will pull the compliments .
Frank

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

Since I am here I will post the black truck . There is a pic of it on page 1 or 2 of this thread . I had sold it and have since bought it back . I lowered it and added 17 inch Coddingtons . The look wasnt what I thought it would be so I picked up a set of 20 inch Intros for it . I like it much better . Here is a pic with the 17's then the 20's .

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

New truck pics. This camera angle jus makes my truck look sick IMHO. But I think with some 12" wide slicks and smoothie wheels 3" more drop in the front will just complete it.

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

think there was one one here that done that tailgate mod on a older truck he allso used a set of extra stepside fenders as the inner fenders/tubs think it was a 56/57 apache truck because the fenders where more slanted .

you might want to raise those fenders to be level with the sidewindows and allmost loose the edge of the bed alltogether and just sheetmetal the space across the fenders in at the back to make the mod look right

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

I got her running just long enough to test the 4 link and air valves. Then I took it all apart again cuse just like a good chevy she pisses oil everywhere. It will never be a "show" truck. Thats not what I am into. If you make them all dolled up, you never want to drive them. Nothing like a sat evening drive and letting the ass of the truck destroy the US 60.....
