Yes I believe it' the same. The 75 thru 80 door has "what I call" a rib that borders the door. The 74 and earlier are smooth.

Good job on the rear end. I've got a question, is the 9 3/4 a Dana 60?

yes , the dana 60 has a 9 3/4 inch ring gear , and stronger gutts too . but it was in a 75 440 ramcharger set up for towing a horse trailer . it was all rebuilt with just a few miles on it . it has been a great r/e for my little 64 with a hp 383 auto . glad you reminded me to look at that glove box door .

I like your step side truck. I like the vintage looking torque thrust wheels to.

no those are 60's vintage american racing equipment torq thrust rims . about 64 issue rims , i'm a collector of them . and have had and sold a couple thousand of them over time . i wanted the magnesium version of them . and the suppliers had an all or nothing buy outs . so i bought them all , had a stack or stacks of them that totaled 450 before i start swap meeting them of . i was known as mr. american for years as a swap meet vendor . my displays made pictures and a magazines from a la roadster show swap meet . but i have pics of that glove box lid . its not great it has some denting and a couple of cracks .

Man, that's too bad about the dents. I'm in need of a straight one. I'm doing a restoration the lil red express. But thanks a lot for the pics. That's really cool deal you've got with the vintage american racing equipment torq thrust wheels. That was good move buying them. I thought they were vintage because of the straight spokes. I'm going to attach some pics of some of the restorations and paint jobs I've done in the past.
