It seems any reference i can find on motor color indicates either gray, or blue. i'm really leaning (but not set in stone) toward the chevy blue, because I don't see any evidence of gray on the engine anywhere. would the chevy blue be correct for this year truck? My research seems to indicate yes.

I'll be more direct , Chevy Blue for V8s started in 1977 , period .For C10 in 1966 283s were Gray. For 1966 292 and 327 only, were Green , 1966 250 was Blue. LT1 Burb has an excellent restoration going on in the build section for reference .

There isn't a rear bumper reference because rear bumpers were installed at the dealer , not on factory assembly line. Basically you can put whatever you want on the rear. The chrome sport bumper would look great but theres many utility bumpers that look good also.

Heres a pretty good thread of stock trucks. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=439322
