Re: 1976 Square "Simple Green"
Thanks guys. No its a dark green seat. I would hate to change the color of the seat but I think it should of been lighter in color.

Re: 1976 Square "Simple Green"
out of curiosity... what is a flip kit? and how does it work?
i got a 1/2 ton long bed and am hopping to lower her to the same height as yours. |

Re: 1976 Square "Simple Green"
A flip kit moves the axle from under the leaf springs to on top of it. You get 5-6 inches of drop by doing this. Its an easy process that can take just a few hrs with a helper.

Re: 1976 Square "Simple Green"
My C20 was that color from the factory.
I would love to restore back to that color. |

Re: 1976 Square "Simple Green"
Very nice truck. I have noticed that some short bed trucks only have one fuel door mine has them on both sides. I rarely see them with only one. Is that original paint?

Re: 1976 Square "Simple Green"
Yes it is a single tank. Came that way from the factory. Yes it is the original base coat paint. Just re-cleared.

Re: 1976 Square "Simple Green"
How did I miss this! Killer truck, I love that sour apple green color. Nice!
PS- Did you Shackle it after the Flip Kit? I liked it with the rake.

Re: 1976 Square "Simple Green"
I haven't c-notched it yet because it doesn't hit, I have about 2 inches between the axle and the frame. if I run my spare under the bed then I will have too. I have a notch ready to install but haven't put it in yet. going to get it coated first.

Re: 1976 Square "Simple Green"
I bought them here. But you have to know which panels you have. The Silverado panels like mine are different.
