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

Didn't even have to look at where you was from, automatically I knew it was from N.C. just by the swag it has! I have been all over the World and no bodies cars have the same swag as NC cars! Haven't figurard it out as to why! But it just is!!!

Smoke, did you have to adjust the inner fenders when lowered? I'd love to see pics of how you did it.
