Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds
here are a few specs.... The engine is a 383 with Eagle 4340 forged crank, Crower 5.7 stroker sportsman rods, Arias blower pistons, Isky hyd cam, World Sportsman II heads, Weiand 671, BDS 8 nozzle electronic bug catcher controlled by FAST ecu, manual/reverse turbo 400, 3500 stall with trans brake, 12 bolt, 4:56,spooled, 4 link, moser axles,Wilwood disc brake kit, P255/16OR15 on convo pro 15x8 front/Hoosier Radials 31x18 on convo pro 15x14 rear and a whole lot of fun. It's not a racer, just something to get me from point A to point B and everywhere in between.

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds
  Hello new here, and this is one I've been working on for a few years now. 1980 with a 425 Cadillac / turbo 400 / Ford 9" pos-a-trac lowered 6" in front and 8" in the rear. Its still a drivable work in the process. Thanks! |

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds
Where did you get those trim rings? Would they fit stock rally wheels? I vote for a stock themed blue and white paint job.

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds
Here's my plow/dump/back-up vehicle I just bought for $800 with the plow. It has a crate 350 with 10K on it and a 4 speed. Blew a brake line on the home so I'm doing a quick rebuild on all the brakes/lines/hoses. My son calls it "Project Blue Hair" Ha Ha. I'm doing a 57 Hot Rod so that's my real love. As a side note, is there any truck more American than these Chevys? I looked at all the pics and some I liked and some I hated but they're all cool.

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds
thanks .... as for plans it will be my daily driver for now. i may swap in some parts from my k5 and give it power windows and locks, tilt and cruise. i would like to put a/c on it this summer maybe drop it a couple of inches. i would like to freshen up the gauges and a few other things on the interior. the motor is a newer crate motor but im not sure which one my cousins race round track and built a new car they totaled the car in the second race. when dad bought this truck they put the race car motor in it and trans. i believe they ran stock modified so its mostly stock but strong. i guess we will see what i can do to it try to make it the way he would have wanted it.

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds
Here's my 87, this is before I put a new bed on it. I have a another cab for it also. I think I'm going to redo alot of the metal work I've done. Since I went to work for a restoration shop here in Cincy, my standards have gone up, & I've learned that mig welding is a major no no for sheetmetal work!
