Did a little work to dad's 71 GMC today - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I switched out the farm truck rear bumper and installed an NOS chrome stepside sport rear bumper. It still had the PN tag on the inside. I also removed the front bumper guards and installed an aftermarket period correct SAFEGUARD chrome front grill guard that attaches using the original bolts.

I also installed a front 1-1/8" sway bar off a 73 3/4 ton truck. I cleaned and painted it and installed new bushings. Boy, what a difference that made in handling! I also will be installing power brakes soon.

BTW, this truck is for sale in the FOR SALE forum.
