I just got a 1975 chevy 3/4-ton,lifted built up 350,400 trans,205 transfer case. Dana 44 lockers,4x4 with low and high gears. 42" tires . The only bad thing is the body is bad rough! The guy that had it used it to haul wood and theres big dents in the bed and cab and rusty. But could not pass up on the trade..i had a none runing 83 ford ranger we traded even... I own all chevy's and been wanting a older
4x4 truck...

Heres the thing i need ya help with. I have been keeping a eye out for a parts truck what year will bolt right up to this frame without any mods some one told me 73 to 89 but i was thing it was 73 to 86...

The beds are basically the same except the filler neck locations, gas door lids and tailgate style. But they should all bolt on with no problem. You can buy all the parts to fix the bed you have, if you want to go that route.

As for years of this body style they are 73-87 and also 88-91 if you use blazer or suburban front fenders and doors. Your body style specific are from 73-80. The front fenders changed to the new style in 81. You can switch your front clip over to the newer fenders, it just takes a little more work. I have a 76c10 and I like the body lines on the 73-80 fenders. Don't get me wrong the front ends that are very sought after on the 91 suburbans do look good. Hope that helps.
