Longhorn Man · 03-20-2006, 12:01 AM

Here you go...

This is the only thing I notice that is not correct...there should be stainless steel trim on and under the tailgate handle... otherwise, this looks to be a pretty nice restoration. (wheels and tires obviously not original)

Longhorn Man · 03-20-2006, 12:01 AM

71 is the first year for side post batterys from GM.

**yote1234** · 03-20-2006, 12:29 AM

71 was the first year of factory front disc brakes also. First year of five lugs too I think on 2 wheel drives.
Very nice truck by the way, The steering wheel is a add on to, not factory for these trucks. The dice are though...HaHaHa!!!!

The books call for it, and I have seen them for sale on here.... probably fell off easily like longhorn badges.

Three words can sum up how I feel about your truck: I'm really jealous
