Yes, I was wondering if it had been converted as well. There were/are some good photos of the undercarriage that would show the rocker boxes, but I don't know enough to recognize if they were there or not. Didn't appear to be there. Still seems strange to convert a 76 when an 87-91 would probably be even more valuable. Plus the guys who spend that kind of money also can't seem to leave the engine, drivetrain and suspension alone as long as they're making big modifications. Seems odd to convert a stock 76 into a stock 75 clone. But who knows. I wish I could inspect the vehicle personally.
