I have an 82 SWB stepside
355 sbc
700 r4
10 bolt 3:42
Looks like Granpa's truck
Beats the "new" trucks (99-03's)
I love that look of disbelief when all they can see is tailgate.

I don't have any pics yet as they are both still sitting at their respective farms but I just bought a 76' Crew Cab Dually, 2wd, 454,t400,4:10,A/C. When I finish my "Siescalade", I am going to bodydrop this one and bag it. I also bought a 78' C30 LWB 2wd, 454,t400,A/C(bought this for the motor & parts....)

My Dad is doing an 87' 2wd swb. 5-5 drop,91 GMC sub clip,shaved tailgate,cowl hood,black.... I can't convince him to bag it

[Jason]

i have a few pics of the 84 link in sig no pics of the sub yet, i just got done putting on a new stull billet phantom grill on the 84 looks great will have to get pics up soon, still need to find a 2000 billet bowtie to go on the front of it. right now the cam is blown in my 84 so it is out of commission for a little while. the 84 is a work in progress i've had it since i was 15. i am wanting to take the 6 in off of it and put an 8 skyjacker on and put the 6 on the suburban, maybe next year. later

What color are you going to paint it when you get done?

[PHOENIX]

I have a 1983 1/2 ton 2wd w/ stock 350 and 4-speed granny

I hope to soon get a complete new exhust and a new tranny (4-speed or 5-speed manual is the goal)

[low 84]

nobody - nice sub i dig the dropped subs. there is a mid 80's one around my area with 20 inch ar torque thrusts bagged that lays the pinch weld and back two doors are suicided, it pretty bad. i got some pics of it i'll post whenever i get em developed.

pheonix - whats up brotha? you same pheonix from CT, correct?

Its not much right now but i have some big plans for it.

[Fry]

smokey one leg water burnouts aren't that great. Truck looks in great shape though.

[85cruiser]

Yeah i know its not that good but thats all i can do with my stock engin right now.

[bigred305]

Nice truck 85crusier, what plans do you have for it?

[Fry]

don't feel bad my 85 has a 305 and with my old rear end which was posi and highway gears she couldn't do a burnout to save herself. I put in a 12bolt 3.73 non-posi and she can smoke them a hell of alot easier, and off the line every now and then for quite awhile. If I keep the truck for a little while longer I think I'll go big block.

[85cruiser]

I plan to get my engin cleaned up with a new comp cam, edelbrock performer 700cmf carb, edelbrock performer intake manifold, thorley headers, pacer wheels, get a new paintjob, and maybe drop it a few inches. If anybody knows of better parts or more that would make a nice edition to my truck let me know.

[Fry]

keep in mind that this is only paint not photoshop and it was done real quick but this is what I'd do to your truck. And those were the only rims on my computer at the time.

[85cruiser]

Hey thanks for the pic i would like to do that when i get the money. Thats a pretty good pic for only being paint.

[00Silverado]

I was taking the pictures for 85 cruiser, and the thing is, it didnt even spin in the water. He pulled up a few inches and then hit it
