1982 K3500 - Aurora?
- Thread starter shima
- Start date
does the title say 1982? because 1982 came factory with the turn signals in the bumper.
Yeah, the title/vin call it an ‘82. I knew the grille was off but didn’t know that about the bumper.
I’ll grab some more pics tomorrow. I’m going to try and get it into the garage for initial cleaning and fluid swaps.

2 d60's, you are winning!
like so; for 1981 and 1982
Auto or std?
The price of some of these have dropped lately. The not show queens are available and people are broke. Deals are out there. Nice score.
Is the RPO tag still in the glovebox?

Thanks man! It's a manual. Yep the RPO tag is still in there; I will snag a photo the next time I'm out there.
I got started on it last night. I put 5 gallons of gas in, got it fired up, and got it into the garage. I did a quick oil and filter change and pulled off the wheels. I'm going to pick up some used tires for it and start cleaning everything.
It has some nice stuff on it. There are some photos of things that caught my eye at the bottom of this post. I think the PO really cared for it at one time. I bought it from a kid in his 20s, but he said it was his dad's truck. Apparently they had issues at the emissions testing facility in 2019 and it was parked at that time. You can tell it has been sitting. I have found some rust and some bondo but it's nothing egregious.
The only mechanical issues to call out right now are that it pops a bit when you rev it and you have to SLAM the clutch pedal to the floor in order to shift gears. There is also a clutch kit in the bed of the truck so I guess the PO was intending to do that job around the time it was parked.
Here are some pics and a couple of videos!
