tell ya what..>GM never came out with a better rim then the ones that came on those trucks...im not sure if they started using that style in 77 but my 89 blazer had them and boy..you could mount big tires on those stock rims and the'd do the job, and look good while doing soo....miss that truck....ur's looks fantastic.

That's a beauty, I had one just like it I restored, wish I knew how to scan pictures in. I took a 79 GMC K15, replaced most of the body panels and a 79 Silverado nose, put 3/4 ton axles under it with a 4 inch suspension lift, built 350, switched from a 4 speed stick to a 3 speed auto. Painted it white, looked a lot like your but a little more chrome and no graphic. I like those graphics, btw, they look awesome. I ran 265/75s in the winter and a 7 1/2 foot Fisher, in the summer added a body lift and 35/12.50s.
Too bad about the ugly Meyers plow though. I always hated the look of the bumper pushed out on the wrong side of the plow frame. Maybe some day you'll find a nice Fisher for it.

my '82 is still sitting out in the yard,can't bear to sell it or part it out..
the only use it gets is twice a year pulling in and out of the garage after storing my v box spreader in the bed.
I should strip it and restore it..if I ever find the time.
btw..nice truck!

That is one sharp looking chevy! GM will never have another truck that will last like the 73-87 trucks, they were definatly "Like A Rock".

[alleghenypaving]

just got her finished up,spreader on ready for snow..was kinda cool, on my way to the shop to install the spreader a guy was putting up a new bill board sign by the shop ,and was getting rid of the old one ,real heavey vynal 2 or 3 ply. i took it and put in the bottom of the bed for extra protection.. so far so good.. let it snow. hope everybody on this board gets alot of snow... (HAPPY NEW YEAR TOO ALL) have a safe one. busy saturday after installing the spreader,noticed the ford had the spinner motor leaking. so off to replace the motor on the hyd, monroe spreader..(spinner).. best time for breakdowns i guess.when there is no snow,and saturdays.

[Detroitdan]

here's my first attempt at scanning in a photo

And I have failed.
WTF, I scanned it into My Pictures and tried to load it like any other picture. Won't do it.

 

[Detroitdan]

btw, that's not the pic I was trying to load. I just tried it with another picture in My Pics, worked fine. Must be something to do with the sizing or something.

 

[cet]

I like the truck. If that is a recent picture then what is that green stuff beside the truck?

Body parts hard to find for that era? Go to any VIP auto parts store, They have em all hanging on the walls for those things. And dirt cheap toopayup
