Front Clip Preference

[slammed79]

Vile that is purty. I'm now certain Imma stick with a 73-74 front end, I found a clean 74 grille on Cl, now I just gotta figure out if its a bumper or roll pan and I'm torn between sky blue with a light flake or victory red, the color is going to decide bumper or roll pan.

I picked up a frame on Saturday while up in Sho Low, had to rent a trailer to get it back to my storage. Next weekend I'm off to the yards for a xmember and c-arms. I'll have pics in a week or two when I'm back at storage

Do you mean a roll bar in the back or in the front? If you find a 73-80 front roll pan let me know!

Go for the 73-74 you will like it

Call these guys, they may be able to still get you one.

Thing is the choices are still wrong.  Should be 73-74, 75-79, 80, 81-88, 89-91 for the broader choices...  there were changes in 81-87 and 75-79, but.....

BUT, I would keep it 73-74..

I was refering more to round headlight vs square headlight vs square side by side Capt. 73-74 is the best looking of the round headlight series, and I'm going to go with that.

Also, I'm pretty sure that AIM makes a front roll pan for the 73-80's, I was going to stop by there after work last night but was there till 7.

Good choice keeping it original.I personally like the 73-80 style. If i ever do another truck it will be that era of years..And perhaps another stepside...

thanks

Mar-k is only making front pans for the 67-72's currently. They used to make them for our trucks but stopped for some reason. They have been getting a lot of requests for them though and may start them up again.

Pat, I miss my 77 stepper alot, that was a dog ugly truck but so much fun. Maybe  I'll get another one down the road. This roadster is going to take up a bit of time and money, I gotta do it quick before my gf wants kids.
