If I recall correctly, Chevy started the CUCV program and actually shipped several older model Chevy's to foreign countries, before winning the finalized 1984 final bid of the CUCV seen now. That brush guard was used on those "prototype" CUCV's,
I have seen one or two Canadian models pop up, K30, 350, NP205, base model, I think both were actually '76.
It may be worth it to look into that.
But from those pics, what exactly is different from the later CUCV guard?
