Re: How about some pics of 73-87 Long Beds?
Here are some photos of my '73 C20 LWB. The first two photos are from 2005 when I first drove it back from Southern California to Texas and the last one is from the present. I am working on the bodywork and prepping for a paint job that I will do myself.

Re: How about some pics of 73-87 Long Beds?
Thanks tractor1963. Do you think it's kind of weird to have the wider rims in the back? I think I would prefer to have the same size rims in the back as the front. Do you have any recommendations of where I can buy some old school mags like this that match? I think 8 lugs are tougher to find right?

Re: How about some pics of 73-87 Long Beds?
I got my 16.5 slots off Ebay. In fact, my set was offset like yours. I found another set on Ebay, when it ended I contacted the winner and asked to trade 2 of them. He wanted the 9.5's I had and I wanted the 8's he had. They are two different manufacturers, but the difference is minor. Looks good!!! Keep it up.

Re: How about some pics of 73-87 Long Beds?
73-87 trucks never came with a small back window, I agree that is pretty different.

Re: How about some pics of 73-87 Long Beds?
All the medium duty (C50 up) cabs have the small window. I know of a C65 crewcab that has the big window which may have been added. It is easy to follow the stamped body lines (see photos) and cut it out to full size, but I like the small ones. By the way, GM used this cab for big trucks up until the middle of 1990 model year. They actually built both old and newer body styles as 1990 trucks.

Re: How about some pics of 73-87 Long Beds?
There really hard to find but there are several people on here that have them. There's a picture of my 83 back on page 13 but its nowhere close to as nice as that one. Id say you could get around $5000 or $6000 for it just because their hard to find and it looks like it is really good shape.

I don't know how much of a drop it is but here you go. I like the second one better.
