Re: How about some pics of 73-87 Long Beds?
Looks like he took care of it! Is that black or dark blue?

Re: How about some pics of 73-87 Long Beds?
Thanks. What makes you guys think I need new cab bushings... the frame twist? The cab bushings looked good when I pulled the bed and had the bottom of the truck sandblasted before rust proofing. Probably would have been a good idea to replace them anyway though (with rubber for sure). The truck rides super rough already (4x4 3/4 ton with small load range E tires). Thats one of the many reasons I want bigger tires to improve the rough ride (also the gearing is too low for occasional highway use).
Yeah the heater hoses will be swapped to black at the next opportunity (already have them sitting here), I simply ran out of time before the car show. It was a matching numbers truck until my wife (girlfriend at the time) blew up the 350 (rods through the block everywhere) about 5-6 years ago (had ~ 15k original miles at the time). Now it has a 400sbc. The bed is off an '84 since the original was too rotted to fix. Also has chinese bumpers and a tailgate since I couldn't find mint ones when I had it re-painted a few years ago. So its far from a matching numbers truck anymore but thats fine since we'll keep it forever.

The cab just looks to be sagging a little.

Its black but because the paint is so dull it makes it look blue.

Re: How about some pics of 73-87 Long Beds?
My '80 Silverado - just traded my '94 Blazer for it Sunday... believe I came out on top. Let the project begin... my plans are to bring it back to it's original style, repaint the same colors... and swapping the 350 for my 307 (out of my previous '67 Chevy C10).

Re: How about some pics of 73-87 Long Beds?
Well I must say, I am partial to the LWB, they are more graceful as they roll down the street . I like the SWB TO BUT JUST PARTIAL.
Also that gray truck that James McClure has is an AWSOME GRAY Posted via Mobile Device

Re: How about some pics of 73-87 Long Beds?
It gets a lot of looks with the period cap. I also get a lot of crap from my buds because I am half the age of most guys you would expect to be driving a rig like this.
