thanks Keith
half vinyl top w/"opera windows", no spoiler or any indications of one, no "ground effects" but has body side mouldings.

sadly too rusty to save First one i've had with firewall rot, but it is a "factory pre-rusted" 76 so...
front fenders, rear 1/4's, pass wheelhouse, rear floor pan, etc. all shot.
(picture is very deceptive as to actual condition)

Grew up in central NY, I know how bad it gets

Sorry Jim. An A-body Decoder Ring is a poor sub. It must have a finish panel?

I take it the spacer saver is SAE? Ever used?

What's the plan? I've got your rally rims lying here eating up space...

In The Pink hasn't chimed in yet. Must be slaving away...

k5x: body SIDE molding TYPE 1
r11: AM RADIO 2 WATT

Keith took care of most of 'em:

G52 = LT O/S MIRROR R/CHROME CONV
G63 = RT " " " "
M31 = BELT MLDGS-DOOR/QTR
M33 = BODY SIDE MLDGS

Sure, now you find a 4-speed F-body, Jim.

I don't even see the tail panel trim listed on the back of the '78 B/S I have.

Jim, when you get around to disassembly, I'd love to see how and where the wiring for the dash reverse light goes to. I don't think the ESM shows that.

I'm also wondering if the rear seat back is the same as those used on wagons after seeing the above picture.

I'm already on day 2 of disassembly

as to the fold down...that was my first thought too when I pulled out the rear seatback. It looks very similar to the 77 wagon unit I pulled last year but I think its a few inches narrower and quite a bit lighter.

I will try to take excessive pictures of everything I can...if I remember to
