Pics of the restored 76!

Well I finally got around to uploading pics of my 76 lol.
Been done for over a year and has been in storage until I got my garage finished. I still need a few things like tires and i'd like to get a new rear bumper.

After

The 1977 I drove at work was White & Gold insert, I always liked the color combination. I just want to know where you found a sanitary 1976 to start with, most around here are goners.

Thanks guys. A local body guy here is responsible for it looking so good. I thought it was in good shape until we tore into it. Cab corners, floor pans, alot of stuff had to be replaced. It was really hard to find someone that even wanted to paint a truck this old.

What size lift does that have and what did you do with the steering? I've got a 77 I'm doing and I thought there was issues with running the y - steering with a lift.

Nice looking truck though.

Great job! I'm glad you changed the grille back! Do you have a black 76/77 also or am I thinking of someone else.

The steering was left alone. The truck came with a 4" suspension lift.
