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

I just bought this, it's my first project and first pickup. '87 with a 350 tbi and 700r4. Body and drivetrain are good, the interior is a wreck and I'm dealing with electrical gremlins at the moment, but plan to have it running soon!

I was going to c-notch it until i realized that the center section of the rear would hit the bed floor. That was not going to cut it because when i first got my truck home and took out the bed liner i was greeted with a perfect bed! I mean not a mark except where the paint was rubbed a bit. Zero rust and not a dent anywhere!

Attachment 1055547


i really liked the look of the truck as a 3/4, steel wheels, hub caps and all but for a better ride and better wheel selection i picked up a 1/2 ton parts truck for free and purchased a set of 3/4 ton to 1/2 ton, 2 1/2'" dropped spindles from early classic industries with the stock coils cut 1 1/2 turns. Used the 1/2 ton rear springs with flip. So i'm i'd say that it's down about 8" from stock.
truck look sharp, i think it is time to take the torch to mine today. Thanks for the picture.

Very cool!!! Looks great...What's the new wheel & tire size on your rig? And also did you do any suspension modifications to clear the tires up front?

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

I thought I would post a couple of pics of mine. I'm quite proud of it, it ran almost 1200 miles yesterday in one day (1870 kms for the metrically minded). Cruise control would have been nice, but... whatever. But, here it is.
