Re: How about some pics of 73-87 Long Beds?

I need to fix that
32 inch tall tires.....
I have built a few vehicles from scratch and will not do that again

Much better to buy something already done or almost done it is cheaper

Re: How about some pics of 73-87 Long Beds?

Hi, new here, and live in Finland.

Here´s mine, its a 1987 R10, with a 6.2 Diesel and a 700 auto. It was first sold in minnesota, the first owner was a farmer, he kept it for a 3 years and 50K miles, then it was imported here and was working for a steel company for 22 years and 140K miles until it was too rotten. I bought it and it is going to make its way back to road. It has clod climate package, rally wheels, locking differential, HD suspension , double tanks, etc.

Here are the afters, it still needs some more work but man, it is looking way better!

Re: How about some pics of 73-87 Long Beds?

This is my first truck. It's a 75 Scottsdale c10 with a 454 and 400 tranny. In high school I could pass everything but a gas station lol. Sorry if the pic does not come out still new to posting here. Getting ready to do some rust repair and primer it.

Here is the truck as it sits today


The next truck is a week old to me. I am doing some yard work for my uncle that can no longer drive a standard. Don't let the grille fool you, it is a 76 Chevy c20 custom deluxe. It has the 350 with a 4 speed. The rear end is geared at 411 with a Posi put in. Thetruck has almost 70,000. Last summer my uncle put in a new clutch and replaced the front end, it runs like a dream.



Thanks for looking

Re: How about some pics of 73-87 Long Beds?

Here are some pictures of my Chevy. I also was wondering if it would be worth it to convert my back brakes from drum to disk and if it would be hard to do? I am thinking about doing that because I have to replace all of my back drum brakes anyway.
