If you have that hood on your '75, it isnt original. My '77 I KNOW is original does not have it. I am pretty sure I have a GM sales brochure at home from 78 talking about it. I will look when I get off work.

Well The hood on the truck has it for sure. I painted it funny and used it as a cut line. The hood came off a 77 2wd K5 and I know the year was correct because I checked it because I salvaged the whole front suspension off it to use on my 70 Burb. No rear seat foot well and no gas door but it's possible that it wasn't original to that truck. It looked original and the paint matched it perfectly and it did not appear the truck was a repaint but you never know. It may have also be a late 77 so it might have got the 78 change early. I just got rid of the original 75 hood a couple weeks ago and I honestly think it had it but might be wrong.
