1980 Chevrolet Truck Facia

LARIAT 85
I never noticed how similar the front of the 1980 Chevrolet trucks are to the 1980 - 1986 Ford trucks.  I suppose that is why GM only used that style for 1 year.  Perhaps this is also a reason why Ford quickly replaced the white parking light lens with the amber color?

Lucille:  1985 Ford F150 XLT Lariat

*Colors:  Dark Canyon Red exterior, Canyon Red interior
*Engine: 5.0, CompCams 31-230-3, "Thumper" E7 heads, Edelbrock Performer intake, Autolite 4100 carburetor, DuraSpark II ignition, Thorley Tri-Y headers, Flowmaster dual exhaust, H-pipe.

Rick, I had noticed this years ago. I like this year chevy. Well, I like most year chebbys...

There was an 80, reg cab, long bed dually, blue on blue with a big block for sale locally over the summer. I wanted it pretty bad. But Ive got to get a 87 bronco stripped for parts, and sell an Impala before bringing anything else home.

Dodge also had some trucks that had a front look that always makes me do a double take when walking through the jy.
