Re: How about some pics of 73-87 Long Beds?

The SPID would have been on the inside of the glove box door.
The build sheet would have been under the bottom right of the seat.
According to the grille its a 1980 so the VIN should be on the left side of the dash close to the windshield (It might have gotten covered by the custom dash pad).
A partial VIN can be found on the top side of the right frame rail close to the rear cab mount, i'm not sure about the engine/ trans vin.

Re: How about some pics of 73-87 Long Beds?

Yeah I saw one a while back that was made by some company that I think is out of business now, If I remember right it was a complete kit that had never been installed.
