Title: New here... 1984 Short Bed from Oklahoma.
Post by: nico on May 22, 2008, 01:31:04 pm: Hello all,

I'm new here and thought I would share some pics of my 1984 Silverado project. I've been a member of several boards for a while, but am glad to find a site devoted to just 73-87's...

If you are ever around southern Oklahoma, look me up...

Post by: nico on May 23, 2008, 10:14:31 am: Thanks for the compliments... Underneath is pretty clean, no rust, but definately not show detailed. I have been driving this truck quite a bit lately and it has gotten pretty dusty underneath...

Post by: team39763 on May 23, 2008, 10:37:29 am: Nice truck bro. I don't recall ever seeing a truck that color. Is that the original color? Either way, it looks good.

Post by: nico on May 23, 2008, 11:34:10 am: Yes, that's the original color... Doeskin Tan.

I'm not sure what my plans are... The interior needs a few items to be a little cleaner and I'm thinking about painting it... A buddy of mine (professional painter) has offered to paint it if I will do the prep work. Now I'm trying to decide if it should stay tan or get a color change/two-tone... I really like orange and white two-tones...

I spent most of the last year building the drivetrain (383 with Corvette heads, TCI Manual-valvebody TH400, and 3.73 Richmonds with a Detroit Locker), so now it's off to more detail work and possibly a lower stance (already 2.5/5)... I've also been checking into 18/20" and 20/22" wheel combos...

Post by: Swims350 on May 26, 2008, 10:00:38 am: I wouldn't put any bigger wheels on it but if you do I want the cragers you got on it now. They'd go perfect on our 84 short bed.

Post by: nico on July 28, 2008, 04:20:14 pm: Sorry, for the delay... I have been away from this site for a while...

I am located in Marietta, 15 miles north of the Texas border on I-35.

Most recently, I have been trying to get my interior in better shape. I bought a reproduction dash from Cheyenne Pickup, which had been molded incorrectly. After returning it, I purchased a OEM dash which was also damaged. Now I am waiting for another OEM piece. I will also replace some of the interior trim with billet, after I dye the new dash and trim.

Post by: nico on October 21, 2008, 11:26:25 am: Thanks for the compliments everyone... I haven't checked this topic in a while, but it's nice to see everyone appreciates my work. There are some very nice trucks on this site and I hope that one day some of mine will compare.

I recently started work on another 84 SWB and this one has been put on the back burner. The only updates are a set of 17" Torq Thrust II's and some more underhood detailing.
