Nostalgia wins..bought a 79 C15 shorty project

[Big Chip]

I hadn't thought about that.
'77 was the first year for the inside release? '76?
My '77 C20 Silverado has redundant hood releases , but I don't know why.
Would have been easy enough to retrofit factory parts....

I stand corrected, my tube grille fit like ****. I just zoomed in on a picture of it. Not good.

Oh. That's why I made sure to say it's a Silverado because I thought it was an option but included with Silverado trim.
I'm stickin with first available in the 1976 model year.
To be clear, we arent fighting...

I've never owned an '80, but I think it was still optional then too.

I have an 80 and it don't have the inside release.

Bumper thingies are trashable items.

Yeah I know especially when you sit Engine blocks on them.

My 78 has a inside hood release.

I would like to find a nice tube grill, (stock one is broken), doesn't seem to be too many people making them any more. Any suggestions for a decent one?

Pretty sure he took it out though. He @crazy4offroad should probably put it back in.

Not sure but his truck just has all kinda attitude maybe it’s the paint job or just the stuff he made and put on it.
