Another new short bed

[impalamark]

Well made a low-ball offer on a truck a few weeks ago and the owner
called and said come get it

so here we go again
84 shortbed orginally a 305 /turbo350 combo but has a goodwrench
350 in the bay added in 89 and has 30k miles on it . It was looking kind of
pityfull when I picked it up paint was dead looking, rusty rockers both sides
but cheap is cheap so this is where we start

killer vintage sound system with 3-6x9's and two four inch
I especially love the WAY THE DASH SPEAKERS ARE SILICONED IN PLACE TO PREVENT RATTLES . looks bad but actually sounds pretty good
dash hacked a bit for the head unit but fixable note siscone mounting method again



any body ever seen seat material like this before ?
the install is very professional or stock


cool that the dealer had some one paint his ad on the tailgate

spent some time waxed it up and painted the glaring white wheels and looks good .


ordering some metal fo rocker and cab corners to get the little bit of rust out
looks like a long term keeper

very nice, thats a way to add aftermarket speakers!! haha, pretty clean truck overall tho, cant go wrong with a chevy

[72BlckButy]

Nice looking truck! What are your plans for it?

[old Rusty C10]

looks nice enough to me what is a lowball figure? and what are the plans? good luck with it

[impalamark]

got it for $500.00 couldn't turn it down

plans were to clean it up and sell it but it's growing on me
so I ordered new rockers and cab corners for it
we'll see how things progress

Mark: You stole that one. Good find and good luck. That's a fine piece of Chevy to restore.

[joe231]

that is a hell-uva deal
congrats!

[jrsmith_2010]

man i wish i can find a truck in that gooda shape for that amount of cash! total score on that one!

[impalamark]

things are a little tough in florida
saw a 87 short bed stepper great shape 350/700r4
good air, 20's good paint no rust clean in and out
and the guy sold it for $1,700 after two months of trying
I didn't have it to give or it would be mine
bad thing about this truck is pics don't show how
ugly it looked before cleanup and how great it looks after
rockers and cab corners shipped today so new metal soon

good find love the system

Try one of those Dash Top covers from LMC. They are made in the USA.

Nice score.... I think I would get rid of the "custom" dash but you made a deal.5 on that one.

How's it feel to own that many chevy trucks?

[Pyrotechnic]

They drilled through the back of the cab

I've seen worse hacking though. A few welds on the back of the cab, a new dash pad, and some love to the radio mounting area and it'll be cherry again.

[allen123]

I've seen that material on my grandma's old couch looked just like it lol
Nice score though looks good

[impalamark]

Allen123 -hope grandma's couch looked better -still trying to figure out if it's stock
trim tag says brown and tan cloth

Pyrotechnic -not the preferred method but well done no rust so far

Thump16- four pick ups and a burb stripped for parts feels good
but there's usually lots of chevys in the yard before they went out of sight in price it was 60's impalas

Have a near perfect dash the right color that came out of the burb
if I don"t use it I'll get a cover -plastic molded type used one before
on my '86
Fun part will be the hacked dash for the stereo have a good dash from
the burb to help
one step at a time though rockers and cab corners then matching the paint
thanks guys for the compliments.
this was a great deal and I got it because I told the p.o. that it would be
treated right and he would get first right of refusal when I look to sell.
It was his dad's truck bought new dad passed in 2001
