Re: Help with frame I.D.

Judging by the frame horns and the big washer on the lower control arm cross shaft it looks to be a 73-80 frame. Not sure what year sway bars were first offered but that could make it 77-80 (maybe?), but its definitely pre-81.

You should check the top of the right side frame rail @ the passenger seat area and @ the front right bed bolt area. Also check on the left top frame rail @ the left side of the motor for a vin#, that should narrow it down.

73-80 has rounded frame horns at the front.
81-87 has straight and angled horns on the front.

Theres the correct answer. Another giveaway would be the motor color "assuming" its original. GM changed to the teal green block color in 77.
