Here are some pics of the trucks when I first purchased them. The pictures were scanned and then uploaded to this page. If you click on the description of the pic it should come up and then use the tools at the bottom of the page to view it as large as you like depending on your computer.

You say they aren't perfect. But that green one is about as perfect as it gets. At least it will be when you get the engine rebuilt. Great Job. It's beautiful.

Thanks KingNeptune, it is a pretty color. It would have been nice to have the top to the cab white but I am glad it has the top molding to break up the green a little.

Here are some pics of the 1977 Dually and 1978 GMC  option label/parts descriptions. What I don't understand is why on the GMC trucks anything over the base model trim levels they would call it the Chevy trim level instead of Sierra Grande like the one I have. In the pic it says Scottsdale equipment which is correct for the trim level but it is not a Chevy. I see this quite a bit and I just don't get it. Let me know if anybody knows anymore about that. Thanks.

I think I am past the addiction, more like a disease. May still need to get one more. 1974 Chevy or GMC 3/4 ton 4x4, the year I was born of coarse. I'm sure the wife will give me the thumbs up ;).
