My new ride !!!

[Spray-Bomb]

Here is my new 77 Chevy SWB, I traded my 84 to my brother for it

The 84






Together

77







What I want it to sit like

[Spray-Bomb]

All 4 tires are new, new Moog front end, Hooker ceramic coated headers w/ true dual 3" 40 Flows run all the way out the back, 350 with vortec heads, Edelbrock RPM intake mani, comp 282 cam, & edelbrcok 650 carb, th350 trans w/ 2200 stall converter & shift kit

Also was a factory BBC truck, tach dash, front & rear sway bars, A/C, PL, PW, PB, PS, & factory trim delete

It needs the drivers side rocker replaced, but it came with a replacement

[streetstar]

I like the '73- '80 front ends better too ---

looks like a good driver

[Spray-Bomb]

Thanks, me too

[72BlckButy]

Looks like a slick looking truck!

[67ChevyRedneck]

I like the 73-79??? much better than the 80-88. The dual headlights just don't do it for me. I'd love to have a 73-79 swb fleet truck. Good trade

Cool! It's "Hip to be Square..."

I think you "done good"

[Spray-Bomb]

Thanks guys

I was a hardcore square body guy before I got my first 67 & then they just kinda got sat to the side, on occasion I would day dream about one, but never got around to doing anything with one

My bro has had the truck for like 6 years, heck he even found my 84 & told me about it, but for some reason he got bored with the 77 & wanted to trade
So I was like "dang, lets see here early front, sweet engine, front suspensions rebuilt, nice enough for a beater... Lets trade !!!!"
The 77 needs body work, but thats no biggie & that 84 just needed everything, minus the interior (the engine seems to be ok lol)

I love my new 77 !!!

Do you think from say stock height, that a 4/6 drop would put it close to my P'chop ???

[retselgerg]

I like the square bodys, id like to have a 73 (just good odd number).. by the way that truck would look killer ralley green, with some chrome rims and blacked out windows

[Spray-Bomb]

Thanks, some tinted windows are definitely on the list

The plan for the body is relatively simple, White w/ green pearl, rear roll pan, smooth tail gate, de-badge, de-trim, & maybe a front roll pan

[slug]

i would go with a 5/7 drop, that will get you close to your photo chop

[Spray-Bomb]

Cool, would I need anything more than a bolt in notch ???

[slug]

i have a 5/7 on mine. all you need is a flip kit and shackles, no notch. i think you will have to clearance a bed rail for the shackle

[Spray-Bomb]

Thanks bro

[flamingbig10]

the bolt in notch will work, but if go any more it wont work, like on my truck it close to 9inches lower in the back and the bump stops on hitting the bump stops

This '73-'80 guy thinks you made a good swap. I noticed how the special-effects on the dash pad of the '84 match the paint scheme. Tell me that wasn't intentional... LOL

If you're referring to the ripped up tweed on the dash pad, then yes it was totally intentional... The sun shines intention

[abebummy26]

nice truck man!!

[rod86]

man that is a good swap , will look sic when lowered an all painted pretty...
i like square bodys but the 73-80 shape is growing on me...

[Spray-Bomb]

Yeah, the earlies had to grow on me too

But I sure like em better now !!!

[Spray-Bomb]

I love the front end mods to this one, but I doubt I'll ever do it to this truck

[rod86]

hmmm i dunno bout the front roll pan dosnt look rite - the whole thing is too smooth for a truck... has that got a molded in tailgate eww
