Re: 73-74 show off
 

Oh I get it!!!!! We are just showing off parts!

Re: 73-74 show off
 

Paint match, Rattle Can and patience:lol: Total cost under $30.

I see your grill is a bit warped like mine was. A couple of sttikes of wood, C clamps and some warm sun will cure it in time. Be patient

1LowToy mind sharing what brand and color of paint you used. Any prep tips you can share will also be helpful.

Both of these grills need painting badly, but they are straight and crack free!

Re: 73-74 show off
 

Nothing special, but just a good cleaning and lots of masking tape. The grill fins really took some time to mask off. For the paint it's rustolium mag wheel paint. Very close match, just a little more flake. It actually came out real nice.

Re: 73-74 show off
 

Here is a pic of the 73 and possibly 74? only tailgate on the truck I just bought with the toolbox on the bed. Also here is a pic of the grill.
This truck had a chrome rear bumper from the factory, but someone put this step bumper on. Also the funny thing about the gate on this truck is that this truck is a sierra grande. The top of the line trim level but it had no aluminum strip on the gate and no chrome GMC letters on the gate. My 73 sierra which is the trim level under the grande has the wide aluminum piece on the gate and the chrome GMC letters. I guess you could get what you want no matter the trim level.

I WANT THAT truck and i love it man..nice find take good care of it

Re: 73-74 show off
 

Thanks man. I see you have a 73 gmc in the first pic above. Love seeing all of the 73-74 stuff. I try to grab any 73-74 grille I see in the junkyard.
The sticker under the GMC on the gate says Wendell Conditt. It was a GMC dealer in Texas, but I cant remember the city. I can look tomorrow.

Re: 73-74 show off

73-74 thread guys...keep that post 74 junk out of here ;)

So far nobody has noticed the differences between the earlier cabs....it is pretty obvious, look inside the cab

Re: 73-74 show off
 

I was going to say the front hood release, until you said cab
Is it the vin plate on the door instead of the dash?

Re: 73-74 show off
 

opps my bad....

Re: 73-74 show off
 

Here's my 74. Just had my new 4 row radiator put in last week, along with the radiator bracket that I cleaned up and painted that I got at the pick a part. Also that VERY clean and chip and mark free shroud was also found at the pick a part. Just needed a good cleaning and degreasing. The grille also scored at the pick a part thats in perfect shape, no marks at all, just needed cleaning as well and I painted it silver and the 350 emblem cleaned and painted. The bowtie I just scored last week, a NOS one i will bolt on both of them very soon.
