My '82 SB/FS build -**PICS**-
hello all-
i browse this board often an it's been a great source of info for me several times.... I'm in the middle of a build so i thought is share a few pictures. Brief history: Truck is a 82 GMC shortbed. I picked it up for $1500 and it was a registered runner. It has a soft 350 in it now with a rebuilt turbo 350 w/shift kit and 2500 stall. We're in the middle of finished the paint/bodywork now... Wheels are 20x8" forged billet Centerlines. Feel free to ask questions!! on to the pics..... at the beginning of the project....   engine and cam... LS5.3 and GM LS hotcam w/ls6 springs  [IMG]http://links.pictures.aol.com/pic/6c708yatXTzRBdXjHVzvxPErFT2*75Fc27nf_l.jpg[/IMG] Finally paint!   I'll post more as the truck progresses... should be a fun truck!!

Re: My '82 SB/FS build
I was also looking at those wheels , does your center cap fit on your front wheels over the hub ?

Re: My '82 SB/FS build
thanks to all who responded so far!!
drop is basic right now... spindle/spring combo up front with only a flip kit/drop leafs in rear. If all goes right, it will have full air ride before it hits the street. The center cap does NOT fit on the front wheels right now. I'm digging into that right now. The outside of the rotor (where the bearings ride in) was too big around. I ground that down so the cap fit around, but found out that the spindle cap also came out too far. They will fit eventually, just not sure how right now!!--i don't want to use wheel spacers! here is a pic of the bed... caddy tails with a full roll pan.  before clear....

Re: My '82 SB/FS build
The paint colors are "victory red" which i believe is a Ford color. The grey is a chevy Charcol from the late 90s.. not sure of the exact name.. i'll have to dig it out.
Where is everyone getting their air suspension products from? I'll need front cups and rear bag mounts... might as well get the rear done now while the bed is off. dd
