Yes guys those are the PA6 styled wheels. That general scrambler tire is correct for the sport. Here is the invoice on a 78 sport I bought a while ago. It shows that tire size for the sport.

where can i get a "chevy sport" hood ornamant??

80SPORT · 11-02-2013, 01:33 PM

They are on Ebay several times a year

$200.00 to 300.00 for NOS

$50.00 to 100.00 for used

And I got one from kijiji....but that was 3 years ago and is the only one I ever saw there.

What a neat truck to buy/restore in thread#28. But I have yet to see anybody reproduce the Chevy Sport Stripes. Maybe they never will. I often hear that large graphic arts companies can do it but I have my doubts until I see one. Larry

The local Chevy dealer restored a truck just like that blue 80.

Stripes were done by a local sign shop with their computer and turned out well

It helped that the original stripes were on the truck to start with

80SPORT-have any pictures of the truck that was done? Cost? Larry

80SPORT · 11-05-2013, 11:16 AM

Picture before and after....cost for the stripes was $600.00

But the paint and bodywork were over $10,000.00

It was purchased from the original owner....factory bucket seats...sold new in Slave lake,Alberta

I don't believe so.

I recall all of the Indy support trucks being pickups (no utilities).
