Man those tires really grip well on a steep driveway like that, all jokes aside, very nice truck, keep at it a 5.3 would be so nice.

I love my 5.3 and 4l60. Much better than a small block.

You guys are making my factory paint look bad! ...it'll have to wait till it gets a 6.0 swap before it gets painted though....dang money pit...but it sure makes happy, so I guess it's worth it!

Looks like you need to buff it out and call it done.

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds Part II

I agree, nice rim choice, sits just right, a bit more buffing and time to cruise.

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds Part II

My 1977 C10 (started out as Scottsdale package)
Got some new paint recently. Daily driver, drove 6 years with primer, couldn't decide on paint. LOL.

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds Part II

Here is my 85 GMC SWB. Picking it up tomorrow. It`s a runner but needs some work. Not sure how much its lowered but I do know that some leafs were removed, only saw 2 in the pack, and the coils were cut. tires are 235/75/15. I actually like the stance. wheels are some 1990`s looking progressive mags.

A '76 GMC that got a little bath last week. Still has original paint so was a real pain to get it to shine.

It's going matte black like whats on the bed, that wiggly line on the door is primer and it's got tripod mirror holes in the door as well. Finally scored a nice set of Cheyenne fender emblems, so now I can finish!

Thanks, took me 6 months to find a solid square with this color combo, feel I got lucky with a 77 and it's one year only yellow trim, love black w/red interior. I used a McGaughys 4/6 kit, the front was way too low so I cut a coil from the stock springs and put them back in. I'm in Tallahassee, so about 5 hours away. Heres a shot of my interior, almost complete...
