[Stepper86]

Sweet, nice find.

[buckshot_86]

Cool truck. With all those options listed it seems strange that it did not have a/c.

[StepSide420]

Nice thanks malibuSS ya i found that wierd to. its got dual tanks and evrything but no ac... lol but some guy new what he wanted when he orderd this truck. but it will be a hell of a truck when im done with it then maybe ill finally get to rebuliding the tranny in my 77 stepside 4x4.... one day

[StepSide420]

that style of stering wheel it didnt come on the trucks in 77... i think my outher 77 has the older style wheel. eny one got info on that?

[75gmc454]

Nice truck. I see it has the styled wheels, and big ten package and headlamp buzzer. That will be a great project!!

Another thing is I thought all 77's had low back buckets, but I have always wondered if the came out with the high backs mid year.

[StepSide420]

Ya it will be a awsume project all 77s ive seen with factory buckets have been the high back ones.come to think of it ive never seen low back buckets in a chev truck... lol

[big10ratrod77]

it has my favrite option of all... the rusty henge=bent hood option cool truck man

I spotted that truck on kijijji and was going to pick it up just for the options....if nothing else.

Glad to see someone here got it and will save it...so many of these end up in the crusher today.

Nice that it has the SPID listing the options.

Usually 77s had the old style steering wheel and low back buckets.

So they could have been changed ...or it could be a late production unit

[80SPORT]

the SPID shows buckskin(brown) interior

So the buckets and consol (which appear to be white)may have been swapped in

But it was an original bucket seat truck

So all the correct brackets are there;a set of brown lo backs from a Blazer drop in;and you are back to original

Call George Zapora at GM heritage and you can get a printout of all your options and the original selling dealer

Some 1977 pickup info.

No problem. Thats going to be a great truck when done


According to 73-87.com, 77 was the transition year for bucket seats. You could have either high back or low back. So its possible that the seats are the originals. Also didn't GM usually put tan seats in brown interior trucks?

If your truck is a 1977 model, you could have either one, depending on your trucks build date...this was the changeover year for the different seat styles.

How do i get ahold of george at gm heritage? that would be some info i would like to no. aperanitly this truck has had these seats in it a week after it left the dealer someone liked the high backs better i geusse? but i like the white seat and white consule idea my self
