We have four 73-87s We referr to as, "The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly." and a parts truck. 3+1=4
The Ugly; !979 C-10, longbed 2wd. 350/350. Flat black/ white top. Typical Ohio truck, plenty rust but, it transported me back and forth to work every day this last winter.
The Good; 1983 C-10, longbed 2wd. 400/350. Flat black/ Ion wheels with 60 series tires. Custom stepside bed with '55-'66 Chevy fiberglass fenders.
The Bad; 1978 Blazer with '81 doghouse. 350/ T-5 five speed. Black. Truck top grafted on so it looks like a very shortbed truck.
It was a Fwd but I mounted a straight axle on top of the front leaf springs. A '91 SS 454 rearend with 3.73 gears and a locker was mounted on top of the rear springs. It's stripped down to 3400 pounds. The bacsically stock '72 350 has propelled it to a best 1/4 mile E.T. of 14.73. I'm hoping to best that this year.
We also have a '83 Scottsdale, Factory black, 305/700R4 that is presently a parts truck.
