How about some pictures of '73-'87 LOOOOONG BEDS - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Srubydo1986 · 07-24-2007, 09:47 PM

I see we have a nice show of the short beds but i dont see the long beds as if it the unwanted step child or something. So i thought id start with mine and see were this goes. If it has an 8 foot bed that never has to be made, show it ,please

Mine a 1986 silverado the body is all originial with 244000 on the clock but the engine is a 1989 blazer motor converted to carberated. She runs an accel coil, platium acdelco plugs, high temp 8mm wires, as well as an edelbrock performer intake and edelbrock carb. 650 cfm. The trans is a rebuilt th350 with a b&m shift kit and larger valves. All painted chevy orange to match the orange pin stripe.

The truck
Before rims

With current rims

And now the engine old pic will up date with newer pic soon

84 gmc. 20 miles on rebuilt 68 camaro rs engine, 94 gmc buckets and console, lowering and paint are in the plans for this summer, but since its taken 3 weeks just to get a nav unit installed, it aint likely to happen this year.

bigblock73 · 07-24-2007, 11:05 PM

Do these count?

Wanderingray · 07-24-2007, 11:57 PM

I've had this truck since 1981 (second owner). Unfortunately I'm going to have to sell it in the near future.

streetstar · 07-25-2007, 12:36 AM

@ pics of my personal "driver" longbed -- '75 C-10 with 65k original miles (and climbing)

A slick as heck longbed i saw at an OKC show

This is the wrong generation, but is proof i keep the longbed flag flying -- my '69 GMC project

68GMC454 · 07-25-2007, 04:22 AM

i own nothing but long beds....even if other think they are the ugly step child, i prefer to be abl to haul a load if i want to...

this one is my baby, but im am stripping her in case the judge says i have to give her up,, 1984 3/4 gmc, 454

Hosted on Fotki

this one is my new baby..been tryign to get it for along time,,finaly got her..
1976 1 ton crew cab dually, soon to have 454 from 84 in it

Hosted on Fotki

also the 68 gmc 1/2 ton i traded for the dually, was a long bed..my last project truck was a 1960 chevy 1/2, lwb stepside..with no rust in the whole truck....

i prefer the lwb...now my next project will more than likely be a swb, but if i find a lwb first, who knows...

bb1979 · 07-25-2007, 05:40 AM

Longbeds rule but i'm biased its all I can get over here

Here is my famililes collection all longbeds except old blue which has a 12ft flatbed tray. I also have another truck which isn't in this picture lol.

I only need one more pickup bed for the yellow one but trying to find a good one over here .......... very very very hard

the second pick is some thoughts on how mine will look maybe dropped a little more at the back....more than likely without the sidepipes.

My drivetrain will soon be 454/turbo 400 gearvendors o/d 4.56 diff gears with 30" tall rear tyres. Its destined to be only a weekend warrior.

IMO I don't understand why longbeds are knocked they are just as cool as shortbeds

Srubydo1986 · 08-23-2007, 06:26 PM

wedgemon · 07-25-2007, 02:57 PM

Here's mine... BTW - maybe the next board meet should be at bb1979's ....

moneyeater · 07-25-2007, 04:27 PM

I´m trying hard to get it on the road this year!Been working on it for more then 13 (thirteen) years now!It was a `81 350 diesel with a massive look when i bought it! Just leaked more oil than using diesel!

One part after the other gave up work in about 3 month and that was when i decided to do the frameoff buildup!
Now it´s going to be a sporttruck with a 350 gas plant and better than new!
Hopefully soon i´ll be unofficially overhauled!
