I don't think that grill and headlight set-up was available over here in the states......Or I have never seen it before.

Maybe somebody else can chime in but it looks different to me.

Got any close ups of the front?

You don't see many "big 10's" Anymore. I've tried to keep this as stock as possible except for under the hood.

WOW I remember Bobby Unser Chevrolet! Like back in the early 80's. Too cool.
Joe Gambino Bought them out. My '74 came from Sands Chevrolet.

86silver, what lift and tires you running on that truck looks sweet. I am starting a build very shortly off of a 10 frame and would like the truck to sit just like that.

Newbie to this site and the first post I did was posting it in the short bed section sorry. I am so glad I found this online resource . Here is a picture of my 1985 M1028 6.2 turbo with 11r16 michelin tires.

WOW, a Lot of square body trucks here, many with that natural 'patina' I know so well.
I would have never found this part of this site if my buddy hadn't turned me on to it. I would not have guessed all this would be under 67-72 truck site!
Here are a couple of my dependents.
My 86 k30 big block silverado that was in reaching distance of paint at one time...4 years later I finally put a nice bed on to it (not in the pic)and there are rot holes in the 'new' inner fenders and pass door already, so now it has to be redone...again.
My 86 gmc 2500 that I have been working on while driving/ killing my k30 as it was last year and the gmc after paint this past month as well as a ton of other changes this past year including hydro brakes, 1 ton axles, rear disc, 205 case, cross steer, dual headlight fr end etc. The rest of the lift goes on as soon as I get the rest of the windows in so I can finally get it out of my garage and then the 38" TSL's and the bed goes on eventually.
My buddies 78 on the side line also has 1ton axles, sbc 465/205 high steer with re-centered hummer wheels and military tires (I dont have a good pic of it at the moment)
Great site guys!

The molding is upside down over the headlights. Its round on top and pointed at bottom. Someone just installed them wrong, otherwise its stock.

That cant be right. If you switched them left to right the headlights would be under the turn signals. I have been looking and have not found another grill just like this one. I'm confused!
