I sold my club cab 440 truck a few years ago to a buddy. He ended up selling it to a guy who owns a body shop. He sent me a picture of it getting a new paint job.

Here is what it looked like when I owned it. It was a '76 model with an original 440 engine. I upgraded it with a 1 ton front suspension and the big 1 ton front disc brakes.

Looks great. All it needs now is a Cummings swap.

Here is what the engine looked like when I owned the truck. It was just a basic 440 light truck engine, I rebuilt the engine but we didn't do anything special to it. Basically all stock internals. It was a two wheel drive so the drivetrain was fairly basic.

The truck had bucket seats though which was cool and little jump seats in the back section. I don't think I have an interior picture though.

Nice ride. I wish my 73 club cab looked that good. Its weird that I have never seen another one painted like mine though. The color is top and bottom with white in the middle. Everyone other one is like that one with the color in the middle. I wonder if it was a 73 thing. Either way, nice looking truck!

Might depend on the trim level. I remember trying to find a front fender in the wrecking yard that would fit my truck. I found a few really clean fenders but none with the same exact trim detail.
