I cant seem to find any 73-80 crew cab short beds anywhere? I cant be the only person that doesnt want to switch to the newer front clip right?

I have never seen one but would love to . If you do keep yours with the original front end , keep the trim . It is the only real thing that will set it apart . I would love to see one done in an orange/white combo with a saddle interior like my 73 Super Cheyenne was , only with four factory low back buckets . 6.0L/4L80 combo and tucking a 20x15 rear billet wheel and Mickey Thompson tire .
If orange/white isnt your thing then wrap your mind around an Ochre/white short crew with all the trim .
Damn , I need to look for a crew cab . Anyone want to but a truck or two ?

I think the two tone would defintely help the look, orange white would look pretty cool too. I was planning on a complete 2 tone color change but after seeing jared78's truck I think the stock color might look pretty cool.

How's the frame shortening going?

My engine/tranny guy still hasnt finished it yet but he called to day and said I could pick it up tomorrow at noon. Frame should be done by the end of the month, then it should be off to paint (money permitting)
