This is the truck in my avatar.

According to the numbers on the engine this was a 75-76 truck, but has an 86 cab and front clip. Bought this truck last week with some front damage. I've got a next to new front clip from a 79 I am going to put on. So far all that I've done is cut off the rusted out rear bumper that was welded on and also the smashed front bumper.

I don't plan on getting too many modifications on it right now. Now I may draw up some custom bumpers and have them cut out with the lazer at work.

Then theres the 85 C/K plow truck that I am installing 350 engine. I am learning as I go...

I built a bumper for one those body style trucks for a kid in Indiana.

I removed some more stuff, and bottom photo is an extra drive train that I may add a southern body to.

You made a good looking bumper Rick, but I am going to build one to go over my snow plow mount..

This front clip wasn't as good as I thought, but is still plenty good for this truck. Found an old stock bumper for now.

Not bad. I might have a few parts still around from when I built trucks few years ago. I know there is a front clip, frame, drivers door, couple hoods, some grills, door glass,  & few odds & ends for sure.

Would you have a wiper motor for 78-84? Or a right hand outer fender 81-87? Manual trans top(cover/plate)?

My transmission is slightly broken right where my stick connects, making it very hard to shift

I just order a radiator over flow tank from LMC.

I dropped my manual tranny and going to install my auto 350, the manual was giving problems. I should be set on parts for now, thanks insane88yj unless you have a passenger side mirror.
