WTB front clip 73-78

im looking for a 73-78 style front clip, preferably a 77. Id like it to be as rust free as possible, but right now anything driver quailty is considered. Im gonna need a core support, all the grille and sorrounds, and possibly a front bumper. anything near lawrence, ks 66049 in an hour or so drive is considered. thanks guys

Re: WTB front clip 73-78

how far are you from OKC?
I might know where one is, gonna try to look at it Sunday. it is a complete '76 with a cowl hood. I want it for a donor truck for my '64. I will get pics when i go if you are interested. I do a lot of work in Tulsa and could meet you there if it works out

Re: WTB front clip 73-78

not sure of the wheel base, or body condition, I haven't seen it yet, I assume it is a long bed, but not sure. Don't think he has a title. i want the front suspension, steering, engine, tranny, ect. i will get pics and let you know.

Re: WTB front clip 73-78

here are some pics. rust in the normal places.
the fiberglass cowl hood looks pretty good though.
it uses the factory hinges and latch
I am going to look at another next weekend, I will let you know about it too.

Re: WTB front clip 73-78

the hood looks good, but im trying to get ahold of a 77 with correct trim for my truck right now.

That tailgate is something id be intersted in, i need one for my 76 3/4 4x4 truck, and all the chrome around the grille and bezels and lights, possibly hood, i still need to find out what the 77 front clip has on it.

Re: WTB front clip 73-78

i didn't get the truck above, but i did pick up a '86 parts truck (no motor or trans), with an older long bed on it. the bed looks really straight. it has a single gas door on the driver's side. it has some decent fenders, doors, and cab, but they are '86. it has quad lights. let me know if you are interested in any thing. i am pulling the power steering, front suspension, power brake booster, master, pro-valve, steering column, seat and possibly the rear diff. it has power windows and locks. pass door has glass, and it has i solid rear window. not sure about the windshield. I can get pics Monday.

Re: WTB front clip 73-78

it all looks decent. You go to randy (teeitups) once in a while dont you?

the hood would be the only thing i probably wouldnt use. fenders would be alright for what it is, a work truck.

Re: WTB front clip 73-78

Just brought home a running/driving 77 3/4 ton with a near mint front clip.... 400 bucks, but the 350 sounds like the piston has a knock. Ill be parting it out on here soon guys. Thanks for your help.
