Just bought my '78 Crew yesterday.

[Stumanfu5]

Hello all,
Just purchased my first Square since 1986. Mom and Dad always had them while growing up. '73 K5 Blazer, '76 Custom Deluxe, '84 Scottsdale and '86 K5 Jimmy.
I have a few questions about this one. Is my interior original? Here's the plate from the glovebox. This truck just came up from Tuscon, Arizona, now in Kalamazoo.
I need a new gage cluster panel also, the truck came with one in the backseat, but it doesn't go w/ my truck. I'll post pics of that in a bit.
Any help would be appreciated.
Stew.

Definitely custom interior but very snazzy. The exterior looks nice, too. Pretty much that whole line of crew cabs was designed to be 3+3 (two bench seats) or bonus cab (one bench seat and space behind it. I've seen a few with front buckets and a center console, but they did not have a separate headrest and the center console had a more basic look. What a cream puff, though. You should be proud.

Thanks for the comments guys. I do have an issue though. The truck came w/ a dash panel that doens't go w/ my truck. It was just lying in the back seat. The seller thought it was because the previous guy was putting a stereo in and didn't get around to cutting out the radio knobs.
I'm not sure what year truck this goes in, but mine need an air vent in the top right and bottom left corners as well as a slot for the wiper switch. I think it'll be a silver panel, but really hope they made a woodgrain one to fit my '78 also. Anyone near Kalamazoo that might want to do a trade?

That clock on the bottom left is that something they come with?
@Old77 he wants also to drop it, I'm sure you will have good advice since you just drop your 3/4 burban.

That clock is I wish I had that in mine!

If you're wanting to drop it take a look at westernchassisinc.com. I got their drop leaf springs for the rear and coil springs and spindles for the front and got my R20 burb down 5" on all four corners. I had to cut 1 coil out of the coil spring for the front to get the drop I wanted. You can also use hangers and shackles to drop the rear as well.

Welcome! Very clean and cool truck. Always wondered, where does the brakes indicator go if the clock replaces it?

Yours is getting a tach, no place for a clock.

In your PAP searches will y'all keep your eyes out for an interior rear gate power window switch for a burb?
