Mine was 1980 Dark Brown metallic tan interior t-tops chrome Hooker roll bar. 1974 Corvette 350 motor with Marvin Miller NOS, TH400 on BFG radial TAs.

I replaced the factory 85 mph speedo with a 100mph from a 1976 I believe. If I can find the pics I might post one.

All this car chit chat got me thinking...White maybe?

My 79 TA. Pict taken 1990( i was 18)
Swapped in a 350 chevy. As this point it still had a factory posi w/2.73
gears in the rear end. Slow off the line, but top end speed= (danger)

Well, I must be nuts. I stumbled upon a crew cab shell that needs lots of love. I have always thought this project would be better as a crew cab so that you could haul a couple of guys up to a trail to work on it. (Plus I have always loved these old chevy crew cabs.)
Figured since we were going to tear the whole truck down to do paint and body anyway we may as well do it on the crew cab and eventually swap over the other parts. I could use all the help I can get if anyone wants to work on it. (Or would like to buy the other shell when I am done)

Okay, here are a couple of pics of the Crew Cab.
I know! Crazy Project.
Here it sets in my garage with the original trail clean up project truck. I will be swapping everything over in the next few weeks.

Cutting out the old floors to put in the new floor pans.

The hood stripped of all the paint and bondo that was on it.

The pimpin' seats. There are two sets of these front and rear. They are actually in pretty good shape.
