My junkyard crawl... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**too much stuff** · 11-20-2010, 12:11 AM

Stumbled onto a nicely optioned 76 (i think) shortbox 4x4. Sorry i didn't have a camera with me. You would think i would know better... The emblems were gone and so was the spid so i am not even sure of the model. Shortbed, 4x4, dual tanks, cargo light, bucket seats, tilt, cruise, A/C, 400 small block, tach dash, am/fm, and rally wheels. Truck was in rough shape, but i grabbed some parts off it. The 31x10.5 tires look almost new. I don't spend alot of time in this section, but thought i should share with you.
I will have a few other pics and questions in the WIW section. Enjoy.

Nice. That interior looks a lot like mine.

Jonboy · 11-20-2010, 12:53 AM

judging from the door panels, it was a '77. If the stripes on the cab molding are yellow, that's a dead giveaway. Looks like you made quite a haul there.

The cab corner moldings have a yellow stripe. (pictured) Would that make it a 77 for sure? The body didn't have any trim, but had been painted before. Thanks for the info.

Jonboy · 11-20-2010, 01:58 AM

Yeah. The yellow stripe is '77 only. '77 is the first year for the large door panels, and last year for lowback seats, too. I am pretty sure those woodgrain inserts in the door panels are '77 only as well.

NICE haul Eric!

motornut · 11-20-2010, 10:30 AM

SBTork · 11-20-2010, 10:55 AM

nice score, I wish I had salvage yards around here that had anything close to good stuff like that.

babyJay · 11-20-2010, 12:10 PM

all the chevy bowtie cab mouldings were yellow from 73-80

Jonboy · 11-21-2010, 01:50 AM

It was really just '77. My '74 has black stripes, just like the rest of the moldings. The emblems on the corner have a yellow background and a black bowtie, but the stripes are black.
