77 Short bed pictures

I posted about this truck about two weeks ago . I did not have the time to get pics until this weekend . Here it is .
454
Th400
Locking diff
Silverado
Tilt
Tach
Rallys
A/C
Power steering
Sport rear bumper
Dual tanks
Heavy duty springs
Etc. All on the factory trim tag
I am the second owner . The title came in Thursday .It needs a total restoration but I figure Big Block trucks with several factory options will be worth something one day so I bought it . What do you think ?

Once again you score a sweet original truck. No she may not be as shiny as the past few, but she looks solid as a rock. Nice truck Frank....

Re: 77 Short bed pictures

Nice truck. Love that options list!

That hitch on the back looks VERY familiar. My old 78 Silverado had a factory sport bumper and I guess at some point in time someone installed a hitch just like that. I always wondered if it was an aftermarket piece or if someone had homemade it.

It's an aftermarket item. It may have been dealer installed though. My 82 Blazer had one on it when I bought it from the original owner.

Re: 77 Short bed pictures

Thanks for the opinions . Yes this is the truck that will eventuelly get a new cab . The sunroof is there . My kids loved the sunroof and aftermarket bucket seats . We went for a ride yesterday in it because my normal driver has a 350 in the bed I need to unload . The 454 in the front really improves the ride quality of the truck . This thing rides /drives great . Frank

I vote for just driving it for awhile as is before tearing into it, -- it looks like fun (i would probably change the wheels back to silver and get a chrome gas cap though) --- it may need a resto. job, but its definitely not a beater

Unless your the type that cant sit still until you tear into it and fix all of the "deficiencies" --- if thats you - let the wrenches fly, and take plenty of pics!
