New Guy Here - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

gas-n-rods · 03-11-2011, 12:33 AM

Hello, My name is Jeremy and I am an addict.... ......Of square body Chevys.LOL

I had a 62 step side that I drove to high school. But always wanted a mid 80's shorty. I bought this truck from Art Morrison Ent. several years ago and it has been a lot of fun since. I just put a new set of wheels and tires on it to update the look and I like it much better. Future plans call for a major rebuild of the truck, I have lots of ideas in my head. But I have to finish a few other streetrod projects first.

Here are a few pictures of my 84 shorty..

And the new Wheels..

Thats what I always thought too. I have wanted to put these wheels on the truck for a long time but I knew that I could not afford them. Until I was at a show this last fall and a tire dealer made me an amazing killer deal that I could not pass up.

ChevyC102007 · 03-12-2011, 02:05 AM

Hey gas-n-rods , you just did a drive by on us .You ran by , took a few shots (of an awesome truck) and left . Now everyone is looking for you for a little more info . Dont leave us hanging . We need more pics and info . Considering who you bought that from , I really want to see the under hood shots.

Well the under hood is a major reason that I want to do a rebuild. It does not look like anything special. I don't even have any pictures of the engine bay to show. I guess I will have to take some and show anyway.

In the mean time here is a shot showing the custom bed floor.

f.monroe · 03-12-2011, 12:16 AM

We are an impatient bunch arent we .The truck looks great and the wheels really make it . I was appaerntly typing whil you were posting .Are you going to use the engine thats in it and just detail it or do you have other plans?

I like that bed floor mod . That took some doing to get it to look that good with the bend .

Well you asked for it. Like I said it does not look like much under here

.

And the inside...

Under Side...

gas-n-rods · 03-12-2011, 12:23 AM

I have lots of plans and ideas. But it all depends on what kind of money I have available when I get to this project. More than likely I will just clean it up and detail the engine that I have.

joe231 · 03-12-2011, 02:59 PM

under hood looks good to me!

BIG KRIS · 03-12-2011, 07:50 PM

Ok tell us about the suspension.

justpball · 03-13-2011, 09:27 AM
