How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds - Page 28 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I know it 's not a squarebody, but hey it's a chevy. My other truck I built, but just recently sold it to buy the C10; I needed a new project!!!

After seeing the C1500, I'm anxious to see what the square looks like in a year or so. Looks like a really clean starting point.

In a way its a shame to see clean originals get modified, but it looks like you know what you are doing!
Keeps us updated and build threads with lots of pictures and details are always appreciated.
Nice truck to start with.

It is 5 and 5. The wheels are Eagle Alloy 212's with Toyo 275/55/17 on 17 X 8 in the rear and 255/55/17 on 17 X 7 in the front. BTW they are for sale too!

71'tahoe · 03-10-2008, 05:26 AM

Vanilla and the orange that is on the new chevy cobalts. I think it is something like fusion orange. I would like to take credit for building this truck, but unfortunately I cannot. I picked it up from a guy that built it locally and did a great job might I add. I've done a little bit to the motor, but everything else was his creation. I am very happy with this truck and had I not picked this one up, I would have built one very similiar. It is everything I would want in a square body.

Thanks for the compliments guys. I cannot get over what a great forum this is.

watahyahknow · 03-10-2008, 06:29 AM

I believe they're the same type wheels that I have.. it took a while for them to grow on me... but I like 'em pretty well. BTW, KILLER TRUCK!

I have relatives in Beaumont, your neighborhood looks just like theirs.

Smooth's 82 · 03-13-2008, 07:18 PM

Nice truck! What type of white is that?

BigDanLovesSushi · 03-14-2008, 04:25 AM

I have a 79 4wd. Big pans for it SOON. Gonna rewire it, new paint ,new interior, all new chrome, maybe a lift???. I got it into flat black and DESTROYED it off roading. This 4x4 wont be off road for a LONG time!

dooce · 03-14-2008, 05:07 AM

watahyahknow-
woah, you said wood inside of it? do you mean it's got a wood floor or a piece of wood holding it together? ifs its a wood floor, could you post some pics please? thanks

watahyahknow · 03-14-2008, 12:03 PM

no it just has a piece of concreteply used to make the floor and sides of the bed and they used parkers to hold it to the body of the bed then they bolt it through and through to the bed .
the metal floor and the supportbeams that hold the floor to the frame normaly have dissapeared allmost completely from rust

moneyeater · 03-15-2008, 01:18 PM

Cool video!How much money did you spend on that thing and how long did it take to rebuild it?

chevymotocross · 03-16-2008, 04:41 AM

Sweet video! I like how the music seems to get more hardcore as the progression of the truck goes on.
