Sorry but thats a 75-76 grille (offset hood release). 73-74 was the recessed grille.  Your shorty is looking good, i agree with the chrome grille brightening it up a bit.

Re: Got a 77 today
spinem... your headlight bezels are not '79 either. '79 has the chrome bezel that goes around the turn signal also.

Re: Got a 77 today
Well boys, here are some pics. I came in and saw your replies when I got home from work and I figured it was in my best interest to run out and take a few more pics before I was on the bad end of some sort of angry mob.
          The truck had a frame-off in 05. It was then daily driven for a year or so. 50k on the rebuilt 350. It needs some odds and ends like a hood, grill, interior stuff, bumpers, etc. The truck is mostly all there though. My intentions are a few bolt-ons, maybe a slight drop, tires and wheels, interior work, and a lot of clean up work and detailing. The timing was good because my daily driver is down (lifted 04 wrangler) so I am driving the truck. Bad thing is... I am daily driving the truck in the winter. |

Sounds like you have the better math skills though to come up with a number like 37x. |
