I thought that's what you meant. The Round headlight and slopped dashed models carried thru 80, so you want a 73-80. 81- up is the flat dash pad, square headlights sleeker front clip and the cowl and hood are 2 seperate pieces. instead of one piece. The 1 piece cowl and hood, 73-80 are the ones with the hood bending Taco problem.

They brought back the power wagon but not the concept, just a sticker kit


You must be registered for see images attach

dont let the stickers fool you these trucks come better equiped for off road than most of our squares we use for off road. they have winches,lockers, electric disconnect anti-sway bars.

Damn, I could drool over those pics for hours.

I'll take that top left black shorty, the black Impala coupe down to the right, the entire trailer load of Burbs and Blazers... and that little red Chevette for good measure. Too bad I wasn't born about 20 years earlier than I was.

OMG, Look at the K5s and the Grand Prix SJ's :drool:

I like the black and white Silverado long bed too. :High 5:

I'll take those two LeMans Sport Coupes (or they might be GTOs) on the back...

Yeah, the black and white LWB puts that paint scheme in contender status for me...

I walked the assembly line here in OKC when GM had a plant here. Seems the building was about a 1/2 mile long, but certainly was fascinating as hell to watch the process. I was just in there to deliver a refrigerator, so I was granted access. To find the one person I needed to find out which break room it was to go into, I had to walk from one end of the building in shipping and receiving, to the other side where the offices were at. I didn't mind at all. I thought it was pretty spectacular.
