cab spoilers option
Does anyone remember seeing GMCs in the 76 to 79 year models with front air dam and cab spoilers from the factory? I know of 1 such truck. It also came with 275/60/15 Goodyears all round. It may have been part of a package but this truck had no decals or badging to distenquish it from any other. Not that I want one myself but I just remembered it.

I don't know the year, but a girl at my high school had a silver one. It had an odd stripe kit that was purple orange and blue, or something like that. It had a chin spoiler and a spoiler on the back of the cab. I don't know anything about it. It could have been factory, or it might have been a dealer option or a JC Whhitney kind of thing.

Ken, is there anything you DON'T have a pic of? LOL
The year was 79 alright but the truck I remember seeing wasn't this amarillo package. It was a solid white GMC with the cab spoiler and front air dam, the BFG tires and Sierra type trim. No decals. I thought the truck was a big block but I'm probably wrong on that. It was a long time ago. Don't know why I thought of it again but I haven't, until now, seen any pics of them on any forums either. Small production I guess. I don't guess anyone has incorporated the cab spoiler into any customs? thanks Ken. That Amarillo on the cover is sharp. I like a bit more chrome but it is definately a looker.

I checked into those stripe kits back in the eighties. They were available in several color combos. I almost bought one for my 78 step.
