I'm assuming for an '83? Any preference on color for the seat-belts? Chevy or gmc grille? Single Or Over under headlights? Shouldn't have a problem locating any of that.

I'd suggest keeping an eye on cosprings.cragslist.org/cto and surrounding areas for that. I'll go and inspect/ take pics of any you are seriously considering. It would just be a lot of work for me to narrow down all your likes/dislikes on my own. Transporting wouldn't be an issue though!
Zim is there a difference in the 77-80 doors from the 73-76? I know 81+ have different interior design and glass thickness changed at some point too IIRC.
Yeah that is it, just the interior.
The doors themselves are the same 73-91 for both front and rear
Hey Zimm, are you looking for power or manual doors?
I have a full set of crew cab doors but they are power.
I should be going to CO before he leaves so if you want them I'll take some pics for you and we can discuss details.
Yeah, what Iceman said, I think the door panels are shorter height than the 77+ designs also.
Interested

if you want power they have to be 77+ doors, no factory 73-76 and the internals are supposed to be different enough that nothing fits.

I'm in need of a rust free cab and a driverside fender. I am serious about it too.
I did a quick search on Greenfield and wow that is in the middle of nowhere... lol I live next to Plymouth so if you end up cruising all the way to the cape then that would be real convenient.

Not a problem getting either of those. I'll shoot ya a pm do we can talk details. I wouldn't have a problem making it out there either way.
Ok this trip is a definite GO! Departure date is going to be between march 28-30! I'd like to have all interest in by the 15th of march to allow time for strategic loading.
Getting lots of parts together already! Going to need a list to keep myself organized and on track. Figured why not put it on here, then I'll have organization anywhere I need to access it....

Man Geoff, how big is your trailer? That's quite the list
No interest in a 70's crew cab? Have a line on one. I would need to have a closer look at the condition, but wasn't going to make the trip back out to that yard if it wasn't anything you were considering.
