How about some pictures of '73-'87 LOOOOONG BEDS

[Srubydo1986]

I see we have a nice show of the short beds but i dont see the long beds as if it the unwanted step child or something. So i thought id start with mine and see were this goes. If it has an 8 foot bed that never has to be made, show it ,please


Mine a 1986 silverado the body is all originial with 244000 on the clock but the engine is a 1989 blazer motor converted to carberated. She runs an accel coil, platium acdelco plugs, high temp 8mm wires, as well as an edelbrock performer intake and edelbrock carb. 650 cfm. The trans is a rebuilt th350 with a b&m shift kit and larger valves. All painted chevy orange to match the orange pin stripe.

The truck
Before rims

With current rims

And now the engine old pic will up date with newer pic soon

My 77 GMC Sierra Grande

[canadianc-10]

84 gmc. 20 miles on rebuilt 68 camaro rs engine, 94 gmc buckets and console, lowering and paint are in the plans for this summer, but since its taken 3 weeks just to get a nav unit installed, it aint likely to happen this year.

Do these count?

I've had this truck since 1981 (second owner). Unfortunately I'm going to have to sell it in the near future.

@ pics of my personal "driver" longbed -- '75 C-10 with 65k original miles (and climbing)





A slick as heck longbed i saw at an OKC show




This is the wrong generation, but is proof i keep the longbed flag flying -- my '69 GMC project

[68GMC454]

i own nothing but long beds....even if other think they are the ugly step child, i prefer to be abl to haul a load if i want to...

this one is my baby, but im am stripping her in case the judge says i have to give her up,, 1984 3/4 gmc, 454

Hosted on Fotki

this one is my new baby..been tryign to get it for along time,,finaly got her..
1976 1 ton crew cab dually, soon to have 454 from 84 in it


Hosted on Fotki

also the 68 gmc 1/2 ton i traded for the dually, was a long bed..my last project truck was a 1960 chevy 1/2, lwb stepside..with no rust in the whole truck....

i prefer the lwb...now my next project will more than likely be a swb, but if i find a lwb first, who knows...

Longbeds rule but i'm biased its all I can get over here

Here is my famililes collection all longbeds except old blue which has a 12ft flatbed tray. I also have another truck which isn't in this picture lol.

I only need one more pickup bed for the yellow one but trying to find a good one over here .......... very very very hard

the second pick is some thoughts on how mine will look maybe dropped a little more at the back....more than likely without the sidepipes.

My drivetrain will soon be 454/turbo 400 gearvendors o/d 4.56 diff gears with 30" tall rear tyres. Its destined to be only a weekend warrior.

IMO I don't understand why longbeds are knocked they are just as cool as shortbeds

heres my 87 wrangler. the chrome wheels are gonna be replaced by 15x8 and 15x10 rallys, and after the bodyjob it needs it will most likely be all blue.

My 77 Sierra Classic w/454; all original - purchased from the original owner:






Has since been washed (LOL) and new tires.

[wedgemon]

Here's mine... BTW - maybe the next board meet should be at bb1979's ....

[moneyeater]

I´m trying hard to get it on the road this year!Been working on it for more then 13 (thirteen) years now!It was a `81 350 diesel with a massive look when i bought it! Just leaked more oil than using diesel!
One part after the other gave up work in about 3 month and that was when i decided to do the frameoff buildup!
Now it´s going to be a sporttruck with a 350 gas plant and better than new!
Hopefully soon i´ll be unofficially overhauled!

[benoit454]

hey munroe, I have thoose exact same wheels and EXACT same tires on dads 84 short bed. LOL he had stockers on it and the Po had mud tires in back and goodyear wrangler's half gone in front.

We bought singer 255/60's all around and 15x8's all around in the chrome wagon whel or 8 spoke if ya will.

[munroe]

haha, thats a wierd coincidence. theyr nice wheels, but i like deep steel ones better. chrome isnt my thing except torque thrusts or cragar ss

[rmoorhead]

[C-10volvo]

Here are some pictures of my 1984 lwb. i hope I'll have enough cash to put some tires on my new rims by the end of summer!

i just got a new cannon power shot for my birthday so i was trying it out.

[redrat]

This was my 75. first truck I ever owned. I dont have it any more

[twotone77]

77 Silverado Longbed

[Jray1977]

Hows this Chief?

Anyone drive a longbed Stepside? One of my Instructor from Tech drove one, he's movin to Texas...

[knightlife]

tech? as in tech school? what branch are you in?!?! AF here breh

[75sierraclassic]

twotone77
what size tires and rims do you have? Is it two wheel drive truck?

[1984Silverado4x4]

The first picture is a truck I just saw sitting along the road.

The second one is my brothers 1984 Scottsdale 305 that he just bought. it had over $2000 worth of work and new parts and he got it for $500.

[benoit454]

I'd LOVE to have the trans am in that last pic.

I wanted to go with deep dish, like 10's in back or all the way around, and would have loved to go with a chrome 5 spoke like crager ss's which I have on my monte carlo or a torque thrust wheel.

But for me chrome is better then stock or painted anyday in any way.
