    Tailgate curve

    Would anyone be so kind as to snap some pics sighting down these panels to see if they are straight or curved. My buddy is about to paint it and if it's normal we will just leave it be.

    Bowed bed panels

    Hey guys, I have a friend doing the body and paint on my 76 shortbed fleetside. We noticed that both the tailgate and front bed panel have an even bow facing rearward. Is this normal? I think I have noticed this on other squarebody trucks but I can't be sure. The tailgate is original and the...

    Tailgate curve

    It's weird, both the tailgate and bed front panel are bowed the same direction and the same amount, and the front panel is a new old stock that hasn't seen any use

    Cab interchange question

    Hey guys, looking at a very clean cab from a 79 c10 to use on my 76 c10 build. I am having a hard time finding a good one that is my year or older. Are there any differences other than the vin tag location between a 76 and a 79 cab. I want my build to look just like a 76 when it's all done if...

    Sm465 or other options

    Trying to decide which trasmission to use when I put my truck back together. It's a 2wd shortbox that came with a sm465 4 speed. The few years I drove it the rear end was geared at 3.73 and it seemed alittle low for freeway speeds. Do any of you have a 465 in your 2wd truck and drive it alot on...

    86 cab to 76 truck

    Ok, this is more than I want to get into. I'll hold off for a correct year range cab. There's a company I can probably get one for $2k shipped if I wait a little while.

    Replacement cab

    It doesn't have to be a 76' as long as everything can be made to look identical to a 76' with minimal effort. I don't want to spend much more than 2k shipped.

    86 cab to 76 truck

    Hey guys, I've been searching for a replacement cab for awhile now for my 76 c10 build. I have found a guy who's willing to sell a rust free, very nice cab from an 86' . Is there any reason not to use this cab for my build? What would it take to make it indistinguishable from a 73-80 cab? I want...

    Hey guys, I joined this forum since I recently stripped my 1976 gmc 2wd shortbed down to the frame. I look forward to reading lots of posts and gaining as much knowledge as I can about the truck. My biggest setback at the moment is my cab which is full of rust so I am now on the hunt for a rust...
