Title: razor back question?
Post by: 76_GMC on May 25, 2011, 09:58:09 pm
So I was talking to a buddy of mine and he said he can get me a razor back for an 88+ Chevy pickup for free. I'm currently restoring a 76 gmc 4x4. My question is will it fit? Or won't it? The only reason I ask is because it would be a freebe and would save me a couple hundred bucks? Anyone know if it will even be close? Thanks.

Prolly Not, the bed sides on the 88+ were narrower and the trucks are wider.

If I am wrong someone will pop up and call me on it. :D

It depends on if it's from a 1 ton '88 truck or not...that would fit, an '88 1/2-3/4 ton will not. Lorne

Now my real question is... Why? I have never liked those things, they are right up there with half camper shells and visors to me.

Do him a favor and bring it to the town dump for him or do me a favor and run it over, video tape it and post it here.

My old neighbor had a 77 3/4 ton with a razor back and a visor and he used to say to me "our trucks are twins but mine has better accessories" lol

If your truck is too nice you could add one to take it down a notch I guess.

Vile, is that 3rd picture a blazer? It looks like the razor back is molded into the rear of the cab  so i was wondering if its a full convertable with a razor back shell?

The true reason I hate the avalanche's, they have a permanate razorback. Now, add a visor to an avalanche and I'll happily blow the thing up and take a picture of it!
