I like the 2-tone blue as well.

Sweet ride. Nice score.
Best thing about these trucks is they look good stock, lifted or lowered. Just a matter of personal preference.

Exactly! I love all styles of squares. I had a lifted K5 before, so decided to go lowered sporty truck this time

Welcome from Northwest GA. Nice truck, two-tone blue has always been one of my favorite color combos. It looks like they did a good job of cutting it down.

Thanks! They did a very clean job of cutting it. I do want to add some plating just for piece of mind, but he welds are all really nice with good penetration and the bedsides match the paint/patina very well

Great looking ‘85 ! That’s an interesting way to cut down a long bed, finish those cut seams in the bed correctly or you’ll have nothing but trouble and rust chasing nightmares.

That’s on the list for this weekend! Going to sand/encapsulate/paint those spots for now. Spray in liner tinted dark blue to match the center stripe is the long term plan
