I need a picture

For those of you who have digi cams, can someone take a pic of the front view of their 73-87...but take it with the camera basically laying on the ground? This is 87 shortwides truck, and I like the pic, but I can seem to make the blackout of the licence plate look decent. I would like to use it on 73-87.com if I can find the right picture...so if you help me by posting a pic (and allow me to use it), I would greatly appreciate it. BTW - doesn't matter if it is a 2by or a 4by, but it has to be clean.

Thanks!

Jeff, I don't have one on the computer and it's dark out now, but I'll get you one tomorrow for sure. I have a Chevy Trucks tag on the front so you don't have to worry about blacking it out.

throw a custom plate on it from http://www.acme.com/licensemaker/ , make it something to do with the site. It will look right, and no black out!

Jeff,

I took two pics of my truck and uploaded them to my folder. They are front1.jpg and front2.jpg

Let me know if either of these will work.

Jeff,

here's the link to them. Too big to put here. I left them big on purpose so you can do whatever you want to with them.

Mike, got the pics...thanks. I guess I am just being too picky, I am/was looking for a pic I could tinker with and show focus on the suspension/chassis while still illustrating it is a 73-87 in the pic. Yours are great shots, but the airdam blocks out the lower control arms/coils and darkens things up under there.

Can you go out, unbolt the airdam, and take new pictures? just kiddin.

Thanks again!

I'll go take some pics of my buddys 85 with the DJM UCA/LCA's, he doesn't have an airdam.

Yeah, I take the air dam off tomorrow and take a couple more.

I know what you are after now. No way for me to get them with the dam in the way. You are also needing them to be light under the truck so you can see everything too, right?

Take the pics at night or in the garage with the lights out,

the flash will light the under carrier.

I know my cam does better pics in the dark with the flash.

Well if Jeff would just put his 73 back together, he could take his own pics...

BTW, what's wrong with the Blazer?

LOL - Merry Christmas!

Joe, noone wants the '73 finished more than me! The Blazer is burried in snow...kind of hard to snap the pic I am looking for.
