Re: Survivor ‘76 Crew Cab
I’ve been through the fluids and greased the front end & slip yoke. None of the u joints have zerk fittings - assuming these are still the originals. I drove it around a bunch yesterday and today.

Re: Survivor ‘76 Crew Cab
I’ve read conflicting info about whether or not hubcaps had to be optioned in 1976 - and What the difference was between getting painted caps versus polished.
So far I’ve tracked down 1 polished GMC hubcap of the 73-76 style. Anyone with any info or extra caps let me know... |

I tried to locate a set of hub caps for mine just like those. Found set for sale much rougher than mine. They wanted $495for a set of 4, thus I re did mine. The hub cap you have shown are identical to mine. My guess is since your truck (it appears has no chrome trim) would have come with painted white hub caps. I have attached my before and after photos of the hub caps. Since it’s a GMC any part-specific parts generally are higher than the comparable Chevy part.

Re: Survivor ‘76 Crew Cab
Now that I think about it a little more I think the mirrors dictated the hubcaps
So if the mirrors are white the hub caps are supposed to be white (at least from the factory). |

Re: Survivor ‘76 Crew Cab
I had the truck parked outside and it got caught in an early snowfall. I hoped to drive it a bit more this fall, but they’ve salted the roads now. Away it goes until April.

Re: Survivor ‘76 Crew Cab
Found a ‘76 GMC sales brochure. Here’s the interior page - for those interested in the upholstery- it’s base Sierra trim level. Neither seat in my truck folds.

Re: Survivor ‘76 Crew Cab
I had to really hunt for this photo because base models in original condition are hard to find. Everyone will have an opinion on what to use, but IF there is no PO3 option on spid, it came with these painted hubcaps. This painted hubcap is specific to '73 thru '78 base models only. Yes up to '78 on base models, not up to '75 like the stainless version. The white wheels and white hubcaps and white front bumper will contrast great with the red body and white roof. Here is the correct cap on ebay, not mine https://www.ebay.com/itm/1969-1972-G....c100667.m2042 Seller does not have a clue on years used.

Re: Survivor ‘76 Crew Cab
Thanks for the photo. I don’t see P03 on my spid.
I didn’t know white caps were correct until 1978 for base models, that’s interesting. I’ve been spending a bunch of time looking around at various caps on eBay. I should probably go back and ask to look around the barn the truck was kept in - maybe they’re hiding in a corner. |

Your crew cab is nice. I wish my 76 still looked that good. I may get it running again someday ….

Re: Survivor ‘76 Crew Cab
This postcard shows the difference between the base model hubcap, used on the white truck and the deluxe hubcap used on the higher trim crew cab for '76 '77 and '78 models.https://www.ebay.com/itm/1977-Chevro...wAAOSwTilbdcxp

Re: Survivor ‘76 Crew Cab
Thanks for posting the photo. I’m still hunting down caps. Thinking of powder coating a stainless set white.

Re: Survivor ‘76 Crew Cab
Here is another GMC hubcap. Again, paint scheme is correct and specific to '73-'78. Not mine. https://www.ebay.com/itm/GMC-Dog-Dis...EAAOSwc7td1YrO

Re: Survivor ‘76 Crew Cab
Good looking cap. Good price. Lower 48 shipping only. That’s the trouble with most I see. I’ll get something sooner or later.

Re: Survivor ‘76 Crew Cab
I pulled the mirrors apart and had them and the front bumper powder coated last week. I put the mirrors back together and got them on the truck this afternoon. I hit up a few places looking for stainless fender bolts, but came up empty. Went with some zinc coated I had.
