Spare Parts 80 Shortbed.
Picked this rust free mostly original paint 45,000 mile grandpa truck up awhile back...bone stock from the paint to the factory 8 track player. After a few trucks done for friends I ended up with most everything to lower it. Belltech 3" drop spindles, 2" Mcgaughys coils up front out back Specialty trail flip brackets, Superior 2" drop shackles and a Belltech bolt in C notch. New Nitro Drop shocks replaced the original Delco spiral shocks and Western shock extenders out back to help the shock angle. I replaced the rear step bumper with a new ebay special sport bumper and brackets..i will be tucking it in about 1 1/4" and straitening it out some. Will be replacing the factory front bumper with a non impact strip version. Wheels are Billet Specialties Vintec Soft Lip 20x10 with 5 1/2" backspace and Nitto 285/40/20's and 20x8 1/2" with 255/40/20's up front. Also plan on buffing the paint and a little detail work.

Re: Spare Parts 80 Shortbed.
Very nice! I personally would have to do something about that black rubber strip on the front bumper.
Interior is awesome |

Re: Spare Parts 80 Shortbed.
Sure did Buck...it's a zero rust truck but wasn't as nice as described. I have been taking care of the "non advertised" items getting it ready for Cruisin' The Coast. If I could find a 67-68 short fleet this nice and original I could finally build one to keep!
