Well if I can fixture out how to resize the pictures again I'll get them in here. Unfortunately all of the "deluxe sport equipment" and decals are gone. Only traces of the equipment remains. I'll see what I can do about the pics.

Re: Decal Replacement/77 Chevy Sport?
Sorry for all of the posts but the pics were too big so I had to do them 1 at a time.

Re: Decal Replacement/77 Chevy Sport?
That's awesome. I love the black sport trucks with the purple/blue stripe treatment. Hopefully someone chimes in to help you out! Someone's bound to just depends when they're online I suppose.

Re: Decal Replacement/77 Chevy Sport?
I contacted the GM Archive department today to talk about ordering the dealer invoice for this truck. After a discussion with some very nice guy in the archive dept, he read me the dealer invoice and it really didn't say anything different from the SPID card, other than having the pricing info. He did give me the number of a guy named Jim at the GM Heritage center so I gave him a call and he actually called me back. He is going to see what he can dig up on my truck as well. Not sure anything will come from it but I wish I could get some good enough pictures of a Fleetside 77 sport with a measuring tape in it so I can see if I can get anyone to make up some decals.
It still blows my mind how little info or other trucks there are like this to compare with.

Re: Decal Replacement/77 Chevy Sport?
There is a guy in this thread (77 Sport) is his name and his avatar picture is the closest on pe that I have seen to what mine looked like. I PM'd him to see if he has the truck or at least pictures of it. The one he has a pic of looks like a 2wd but it has the light bar. Unfortunately the pic is too small to see anything in any great detail.

Re: Decal Replacement/77 Chevy Sport?
Is yours a sport? Seeing your location makes me miss my home. AZ.

Re: Decal Replacement/77 Chevy Sport?
I am getting closer to trying to get them made for my 78 stepside. I did find a guy out of state who is an original owner of a 78 stepside K10 sport with the correct color stripes. I may just have to fly out and take a ton of pics.

Re: Decal Replacement/77 Chevy Sport?
A user by the name of 80 Sport was working on a 78 sport restoration 4 years ago according to this thread(page 1) he may have them done by now and be able to tell you how to get a set. He seems like he knows a lot about the sport package trucks. May want to PM him.

Re: Decal Replacement/77 Chevy Sport?
I have restored 79 and 80 Sports ...we have the striping for those;I have project truck 1978 and 1981 Sports...neither have original paint or stripes.I have an original paint/stripe 76 Sport.And an original paint 77 stepside but the stripes were replaced very early on with painted ones (it was an Arizona desert truck and the originals peeled off in the sun).My 77 is a 9j9 truck;came with a roll bar but it was missing by the time I got it.I was able to buy a correct roll bar from an owner who took one out of a new truck.But it is the stepside version.They are higher than you would think;I can give you the height and tubing dimensions and you could get one built that would be 99% right.
The last picture is the only picture I have on file of a fleetside 9J9. The lights that are mounted on top of the "sport bar" as Chevy called it were dealer installed as part of PDI.I talked with the guy who supplied my roll bar...he had purchased the unit new...and his were never installed ( I assume someone in pdi kept them or they could have been stolen when truck was on lot) |

Re: Decal Replacement/77 Chevy Sport?
Mine isn't a sport. It came from a sport at the wrecking yard. I just knew the switch was hard to come by

Re: Decal Replacement/77 Chevy Sport?
Breadfather, Look back a few posts and there are some pics of my fleetside. It is post number 51. It is like your truck, only it is white. I want to put the roll bar back in it also. Mine still has the chevy sport on the bedside. Hopefully I can get those letters reproduced!!

Re: Decal Replacement/77 Chevy Sport?
How many and what years had the SPORT hood emblem? I have one one my 79 and that is a real easy way to classify it as a sport. Finishing my frame off and I did change the color, but the hood emblem will be going back on

Re: Decal Replacement/77 Chevy Sport?
I'm not 100% sure but I think they were only available from 76-80. I wanna say I remember something about an 81 but I may be mistaken in that.

Re: Decal Replacement/77 Chevy Sport?
The 76-77 were COPO builds and did not have a hood ornament.
78-80 used the same ornament and had body colored bumpers with impact strips. 81 used a different hood ornament to fit the new style hood. |

Re: Decal Replacement/77 Chevy Sport?
Is there any info anywhere about mounting one of these to a hood that doesn't already have the holes for it

Re: Decal Replacement/77 Chevy Sport?
I replaced my hood and just traced the holes from my old one and made a template. I can do it again if you would like the locations

Re: Decal Replacement/77 Chevy Sport?
Boy I started this post a long time ago; glad it still comes up every now and then. Sorry to report I am no closer now then before in getting a set of spare
Decals for my truck. I coming to the conclusion that no one will duplicate the 77 Sport Truck Decals. Not due to the colors but due to the complexity of the colors blending with each other. To duplicate these would be cost perhibited. Not giving up though. Larry |

Re: Decal Replacement/77 Chevy Sport?
I thought about taking mine back to original but not very long. Here is how my sport is going to be displayed
