Re: How about some pictures of '73-'87 short beds
This truck is currently on Ebay 50 miles from me it has a color match spray in bed liner and a vortec from a 2000 chevy.. I love everything about this truck except for tranny.... Something to shoot for I think..

Re: How about some pictures of '73-'87 short beds
I've seen it @ several local shows. It's nicer than anything I own but for some reason it just doesn't 'flow' for me.

Re: How about some pictures of '73-'87 short beds
rchadhaney, do you have a link to the ebay add? what trans is in it? the 4L60 or 4L80? or is it a T5 or something??
is the engine a 4.8 5.3 or a 6.0? i thought about doing a 5.3 swap in my truck, good gas mileage compared to the 454 and plenty of power!

Do you mean the sticker on the door? it says Bakker Towing with an eagle on it that holds a chain it its claws. On the fender i have been useing photoshop to erase some other ugly stickers that i have removed for real now. and the side markers were broken so i have done a little photoshop over them. but i have fixed them now! that pickture is 2 years old.
