My New 82 Short Box LS
I've been off this forum for awhile for good reason. I've been wanting a stock trimmed square for a couple years and seeing all the nice ones here tested my patience haha.
Finally yesterday I got almost what I was after. Picked up this 1982 C10 short box with an L33 swap (aluminum 5.3 LS). Runs solid, needs a few minor parts from LMC, but this one should be a lot of fun! Going to drive it and not worry about it. Very excited!

Re: My New 82 Short Box LS
Couple questions if anyone wants to direct me.
Need new rally rings. 2" or 3"? Anyone have photos of each? Also want the tailgate filler panel but cant find it in the LMC catalogue. What do they call them?

Re: My New 82 Short Box LS
For trim rings, if those are 8" as they appear to be, use the 3". Either will work, the 2" just allows more wheel to show. The rings you are looking at are probably similar to the "Corvette" style rings, which I think look great on the truck ralleys.

Re: My New 82 Short Box LS
My uncle bought a Scottsdale brand new after he retired back in 1982 that looked exactly like yours. My uncle passed away in 1988, but my cousin still has the truck and rarely drives it. Good looking truck! GTT

Re: My New 82 Short Box LS
Nice truck! Also, you might find a decent looking used tailgate band on ebay. They pop up on there for sale every once in a while.

Re: My New 82 Short Box LS
That is really sweet.
Oh, and the line to trade you a bench for those buckets is forming up already....

Re: My New 82 Short Box LS
I would be interested in the buckets and console when you pull them, If you would PM me about them that would be great! I have a conversion van cloth bench seat in my 86 and I want buckets.

Re: My New 82 Short Box LS
Wow! Amazing Truck! Damn thing looks brand new and like as if it came with a LS from the factory! VERY NICE! And the stance too... Nailed it!
You have a few head turners, that's for sure! On a side note...I think I'd keep those buckets if I was you!

Re: My New 82 Short Box LS
Thanks guys. I dont want the buckets cause I want this one as stock as possible (less the modern stance and motor). The buckets just dont do it for me in this truck.
