The truck 67wannabe posted is 2 brothers I believe here in Houston somewhere.

There known as the Reyna Brothers they both have c10 one is the orange another is blue, I've seen them on youtube before. As far as my knowledge goes I know they both are pretty close to being frame laying there of course anywhere between a 73-79? Motors sound like there stock so I would assume there either 305's or 350's they've been featured in magazines and everything.

here's a youtube video for them.
Here's there website. http://www.reynabrosdesigns.com/

Hope this helps with y'all's questions on the truck.

It looks like this thread was probably started over there and moved here.

It's all in what you like. I grew up with the squarebody trucks, and that's what I prefer. I would take a 67-72, but honestly would just trade it for a squarebody. It's all opinion, but I don't care for the 67-72's.

Oh , I gotcha Jonboy...To the original poster, I should apoligize for sending this in kinda a different direction (hijack) it sounded like he was pretty much done with his decision anyway.

Most likely, though I still think I'll test drive the truck. I remember liking it when I saw it, but that was about a year ago.

I've been looking at the 3rd gens today but I think I would be more inclined to use it offroading than than to restore it. My brother has a 69 Bronco so it would give me something to chase him in.

I had thought I remebered it having something like houndstooth seats and was really getting excited that it could be a Cheyenne Super SWB stepside.

My question is, are the 3rd gens cool/collectible or are they just another old truck? Its weird how different I feel about the two considering how relatively similar they look. Even my wife was dissapointed.
The 76 Chevy Sport was a factory COPO option...and a rust free California truck would certainly generate some interest on Ebay.
Style and option preferences are personal.....but I think we will see more interest in the 73-80/87 styles as they go from daily drivers to special interest.The availability of factory crewcabs and 4 door/9 passenger suburbans is useful also.But I am biased...even if I have a 68 panel truck.

80SPORT - just to clarify, for my own understanding:

The '76 Chevy Sport was a factory RPO (Regular Production Option). It appeared in the catalogs and was available to the general public, just like any other RPO on the order sheet.

COPO (Central Office Production Order) connotes a combination that was not in the regular portfolio and required a special "memo" to get built.

Would you agree?

Keith: Even though it appeared as a RPO the Sport still needed a COPO for
various things like: Exterior Colors/Carpet in Scottsdales/Tires and Etc.
