I forgot to say that the 79 is a k10 scottsdale and the 83 is a k10 custom deluxe.

Re: How about some pics of 73-87 Long Beds?

Here's my '76 K20 Silverado it has the 400/400 combo.





Running collector license plates now and gone are the makeshift mudflaps on the rear bumper. Other than a tune-up and timing adjustment it's exactly how I bought it 3 years ago.

Re: How about some pics of 73-87 Long Beds?

I just stumbled in here, and thought I'd share my two longbeds. The yellow one I've had since 1990, and it's a nice survivor low option Scottsdale 79 with 69,000 miles on it. The GMC is a recent find, a 79 Trailering Special half ton with power windows, air, cruise, and the original 454. The GMC needs a few minor parts to be roadworthy, and the Chevy is driven a couple times a month.

Re: How about some pics of 73-87 Long Beds?

Thanks for the welcome, folks! A bit more background, my great granddad bought the yellow pickup new in 79 when he was 80. When he passed in 90, it became mine with 21,000 miles on it. Just last year I found the buildsheet for it under the dash. It's the only vehicle, including brand new ones I've owned, that's never once left me on the side of the road.

Re: How about some pics of 73-87 Long Beds?

I picked up some 16 inch wheels to replace the stock 16.5. Painted them Santa Fe to match the side stripe.

www.73-87chevytrucks.com if you want good quality parts

www.lmctruck.com if you want cheap parts.

I like craigslist for good used parts thats generally less headache than fitting aftermarket stuff. Also depends on what you need.
