You should hit up the racing section if you haven't already. Your truck looks like it's gonna move out pretty good when you get done.

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds

That orange truck is nice, but the orage painted brake drums HAVE to go...paint them black, silver...or spend the money and put disc brakes back there.

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds

This one is mine its a 78, got a 305 20 over with headers and a mild cam. 4'' lift with 33'' tires warn hubs, 12 bolt 3.73 gears. The 305 has like 15k mils on it. Im thinking maybe a 383 stroker swap this summer.

this is me swapping the qjet for a better one It sucks working under the hood of a lifted truck.

Mine? thanks!

Drop- I'm not sure. PPO did it. rear is a few leafs removed and the rear perches moved up. front is spindles with a little coil chop. We are going ti get the rear back to stock, then do a flip.

wheels are 20" coys c-57
