You'll be hard pressed to find many users here who think the 88/91 burb clip swap is good for a nice looking round eye truck. You'll have much better luck getting information on how to make it in to a 73/74 front end, which is the king daddy look for a round eye truck. Just my .02.
Whats the diffrence between the 73 and a 76?
