Chevy questions.....pop quiz...

Just in case you don't know or simply forgot, anything with a C is 2WD and K is 4WD then later V was also 4WD.
 
Actually, he is correct. The nimrod selling the truck is incorrect. It should be advertised as an '81 K20 Scottsdale...... C=2wd and K=4wd (for '86 and down) and R=2wd and V=4wd ('87-'91).
 
Heavy is correct about the C and K thing. Like I said, forget that piece of fecal matter you looked at last night. It has full time 4wd. GET A LATE '70's Chevy 1 ton or 3/4! If you go with a 77-79 1 ton you will have a D60/14BFF, NP205 part time 4wd, th400, and a 350/400/454. NUFF SAID!!!! /forums/images/graemlins/deal.gif

I heard you say something about an "old diesel"...'82 was the first year for the 6.2 diesel.
 
Oh /forums/images/graemlins/histerical.gif So exactly WHAT IN THE HELL AM I LOOKING FOR????? THEN???? Give me an example !!!! EXACTLY what years , EXACTLY what style????/forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif
 
Well, you specified the years as needing to be pre-76 due to smog issues. A long bed 3/4 ton 4x4 will be a K20.

Good luck! /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif
 
Or mabey i could go k30??? but those are hard to find /forums/images/graemlins/deal.gif I dont know........HELP HELP HELP!!!! /forums/images/graemlins/1zhelp.gif /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif
 
If you are worried about smog laws, get a 75 or older. There is currently a bill that end the rolling exemption starting with the 76 model year. LINK

[/ QUOTE ] WHAT TRUCKS IS HE REFFERING TO??? Can someone giva an example?? /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif Something with a d60 already would be sweet /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif
 
Nothing that came with a stock dana 60 front will work for you, as they are too new, they are called K30.

(as a side note, some of the late 70's K30's did have the NP203)

You will have to get a K20 (3/4 ton 4x4) because of the smog exemption, or even an older truck. If you want a dana 60 and TH400, you're gonna have to swap em in an older truck, or deal with smoggin a newer one.
however ( I am not sure with your local laws) you might be able to find a later K30 with an 11k GVW and be smog exempt. it would be worth looking into

OK...you want an example. You read " 1978 Chevy K30 1 ton, 4x4, 454, auto, reg. cab, blue. $3,500 OBO 555-5555" in your local paper and you say "honey, lets go look at this truck I found in the paper. You call the guy and get directions, you and the wifey pooh jump in the mustang and head to the guys place. You get there and look at it. It says "K30 silverado" on the side of the pickup next to the door handle. You look at the t case lever and it says 2hi, 4hi, N, 4lo. It is probably a 205. You see it has lockout hubs, ones bigger than you have on the blazer. You take a peeky under the front bumper AND COUNT ONLY 3 U-BOLTS ( bolts in the shape of a "U" that go around the axle tube and connect to a plate on the spring) AND SPOT FUNNY LOOKING BALL JOINTS (ball joints are those things next to each tire up front where the axle looks like a wishbone.) You have now confirmed that it's a 4x4 1 ton with a D60 from the badging and seeing funny ball joints and one missing u bolt.

You open the door and find a decent interior. You sit down and check out everything, dash lights work, radio works, locks, windows, look over the condition of the apolstery, and see it says "P R N D 2 L" on the steering columb, it's and auto! Satisfied at what you find inside you move to the front....

You pop the hood, hmmm....the engine looks bigger than the one in your blazer, it is a big block 454(it probably also says "454" on the front grille) You see a little oil but nothing bad. The owner informs you he had it rebuilt about 5 years ago. You pull the transmission dipstick( that tube by the firewall) and find a decent red colored oil ( thats ATF) and it doesn't smell funny so you put it back. You pop the radiator cap and find lime green water, you put the cap back (important)You shut the hood....

YOu look over the body, it's a fairly decent blue, couple dings and scrathes but not bad, you are ok with the paint.

You fire it up and it starts easy, you check the oil pressure and apon start up you see the guage hit 40-60 PSI at idle. You don't hear any funny sounds really except for the 454 idling. You go for a drive and the tranny shifts smooth and doesn't do anything goofy. Engine has nice power and sounds good, steering feels fairly nice and the brakes work good. You return to the owners house....

You tell him you will give him $3K for it....he goes for it. /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif /forums/images/graemlins/peace.gif You exchange money, bill of sale, and the pink slip (also very important). Your wifey pooh drives the 'stang and you drive the new pickup home.

ALAS!!! You have a 1978 K30 with a D60/14BFF 454/400/205 that is fairly clean and runs good. All was well and all was good. /forums/images/graemlins/histerical.gif

Now, print this post out and wait for a similar add in your local paper and copy what you did in the post, just in real life. /forums/images/graemlins/histerical.gif /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

As i approach the front entry of the action, theres a tall, skinny man at the door, with a uniform on.He says "Ten dollars please"..... so I cough up the measly ten bucks and go inside , where i find an array of military vehicles.....ranging from 6x6s.....old school blazers, pickups.....all draped i camo. As i am about to leave , there, in the corner, is a longbed,camo painted , 1977 chevy k30.(M1008) 3 other guys are looking at it. It says 3000.00 . It appears to have the 60, 14ff,and the 454. I go directly to the pay station, and shout as im walking there "ILL TAKE THAT O)NE!!! ILL TAKE THAT ONE!!!! /forums/images/graemlins/peace.gif" .......as everyone looks at me funny, jumping up and down to find my new score, One of the officers says "Sorry sir, you have to wait in line"......."WHAT!!!!????" /forums/images/graemlins/angryfire.gif I says??? Wait in line??????? WTF do you mean i have to wait in line???? I WANT TO BUY THE TRUCK !!!!! /forums/images/graemlins/peace.gif I hear the man talking on the walky talky, He says "security " security" we need security" /forums/images/graemlins/histerical.gif I grab the keys to the M1008, jump in and start the engine ..WOOO HOOO !!! damn it sounds good, withought paying,i screech the tires heavily as the army chases me down the streeet, in hummers , helicopters, etc!!! I scream "OH YEAH !! WATCH THIS!!!" = as i engage the woods.......and slam it into 4 hi. They are still chasing me, but i loose them in all the brush, and come out the other side. With a free M1008. /forums/images/graemlins/rotfl.gif /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif
