Ohchilit, Very nice!!! Looks a little like mine (page 4). I really like the original grill, which mine does not have, but will soon. Can you tell me about your wheels & tires, I really LOVE those!!

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

Here are a couple of mine.
It's a 1977 Silverado C/10 built in Fremont Ca. Sold in San Rafael Ca. She is still sporting her original paint and has only 110,000 on the odometer. I am the 2nd owner. The original owner used to show it till his death in 2006 his wife gave it to her son in law, who drove a year till he blew the trans then is sat till I bought it 6 months ago. I am going to bring her back to her street rod days of circa. 1980. last photo is the day I got her home.

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

This is what I started out with a while back - '87 GMC the PO had totally re-badged into a Chevy, with a 50 foot'er paint job and blue interior:




I wanted something a bit different, and, while it's not done just yet (and it's pretty dirty), this is the direction I took:





Oh, yeah - that nasty chin spoiler was reinstalled by mistake, and is coming off...

That's a tight looking truck! I got an '86 that's about to get a 4/6 drop and new wheels/tires. Your truck's stance is what I'm looking for. But I'm still not quite sure of the wheel backspacing. What's the b/s on yours?

I have to agree. My brother wants me to "Bag" mine, but I absolutely refuse. I think it looks silly. I can't fathom spending money on that and those wheels & tires when obviously the money could be spend on things it really needs. But hey, thats just me.

Besides, this is his first post. Let's welcome a new member.
Your right Chaplain, everyone has their own taste. Just saying it isn't mine, I go around & round with my brother all the time. He likes this sort of stuff and I don't. He needs to get his own truck and keep his eyes off mine, LOL.

Welcome to the site jchurchill!!

Well that depends on where you park it! I have heard of tow truck drivers in the Ghetto parts of Pittsburgh who just drag the vehicle to the impund lot if they cant get it on the bed or in the air.
