Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds Part II
Its actually got about another inch or two to go down. I have it up on jackstands and blocks.
I had to retake the picture because you couldn't see the rims well enough to see that it actually had tires!

Price was even more awesome, and the road trip back was great. Ran flawlessly, weather was perfect.

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds Part II
Wow Nick, your roads look slightly better than ours but we live quite a ways north in Sask also plus our time line is exactly same as yours, sometimes less depending on the amount of snow which up here is always a mystery.
Looks like beautiful country, remember many years ago as a teen my parents had a trip planned to Alaska but never did work out, think they would have really enjoyed the beautiful country, they are both gone now but still think of their dream trip. Mudman.

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds Part II
Added this as a driver around town... one owner 1980 new crate motor. So I decided it was too stock and needed a 3/5 drop and some new wheels. These old trucks are getting a lot of attention these days.

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds Part II
Thanks, not at the moment no. My kid and I enjoy it too much. Just installed new steering wheel and stereo system, LS swap is next on the to-do list.

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds Part II
No pics of stereo, went with the custom auto sound setup, aux cable and Spotify works for me! Did a Rockford amp, punch 3.5" in the dash and two pioneer 6x9. That amp really woke it up. Very happy with the sound.

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds Part II
I picked this old girl up today. 32 years ago. No it's not a typo. I happened to look in the glove box at my paper work because I knew it was in Dec, but couldn't remember what day.

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds Part II
Ok One more. I haven't done a lot to er. New rearend (pinion nut backed off and ruined things ), Clutch,starter, and a paint job in 1995. The seat needs to be redone, and the original wood bed is showing it's age. |

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds Part II
32 years, so cool to still have the truck, wish I would have kept a few of my 135 plus builds for the last 30 years but had fun building all of them, have to wonder how nice the "one" I kept all this time could actually be, glad you have yours and all the memories that go with it, many more years to you Too Tall.
Mudman.

My hats off to some of builders and the rust they have to fight with. I've been really fortunate I didn't have hardly any rust when I painted it, only cab corners.
