New here... 1984 Short Bed from Oklahoma.
« 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...

Lookin' good! Being from Oklahoma, I'm sure a photo of the bottom side of that truck would make most of us very jealous. Lorne

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...

Nice truck bro.  I don't recall ever seeing a truck that color.  Is that the original color?  Either way, it looks good.

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...

Nice lookin ride.  Doeskin tan, huh?  I had a 1977 GMC C20 Sierra that was the same color, years ago.

Beautiful ride!  Love that stance as is.  Is that your Blazer in the background as well?

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.
