Let me rephrase, shouldn't your truck have the yellow trim?

I dont know, not sure what yellow trim you mean, can you show me a truck that has it.

Anyway, raptor didnt arrive yet. Fed-ex was supposed to deliver today, typical. But i did go up to the shop and sprayed fluid film all behind the bed panels, cross-members, etc. i laid that stuff on thick, every nook, cranny and crevice. Re-scuffed some over spray areas in the bed. Its so ready for the spray in liner. So, heading up in the morning and tape the bed then wait for fed-ex.

from what i understand the 77 yellow trim is a "one year only" special. instead of being black in the center its yellow, most people wouldnt notice it but ive seen some kids try and troll a guy who did a frame off resto but use non yellow trim for his 77. he thought he was all that cause he made the guy feel bad cause he was claiming it was a frame off resto but either didnt know about the yellow trim or didnt care

Other than Gentleman Jim, I'm fairly certain no other year came with the yellow trim other than 77.

Ok, i know what you mean now. VZ, if you remember last summer i think i posted some pics somewhere, i found a 77 bonanza c-10, which was really rusty, it was pure stock original, in fact it sat for so long the wheels were like 6" sunk in the ground. I think you were actually interested in it. I inquired and the lady was like 100 yrs old and couldnt even come to the door. Said she was saving it for her son or something. It is still sitting, but thats a yellow trim one. Now that i know what you mean.  Very rare. This truck had mint fender emblems that i need!!

As a matter of fact, when no one was looking i took a peek under the hood, then when i went to close the hood, it folded in half! I panicked and had to run around to each side and push it down hard at the hinges. Then i bolted.

Strange thing however, it was not rotted out, just a lot of heavy surface rust. Maybe i'll go back and inquire again.

LMAO

So you can easily mask and paint your trim to match the 77 color. 

Persistence pays off, stop by again
