Title: Hello From Dallas/Ft.Worth
Post by: JARHEAD 11 on January 10, 2011, 03:20:58 pm

Hello everyone, just got into this truck craze. Started helping an older friend maintain, repair and sell off his small fleet of work trucks. I am now using the 1985 Chevy extended cab 1500. Is this Ext cab rare, have not seen others, and Texas has a lot of trucks. It has a Big Block Motor, supposedly from Jasper Motors, maybe a 454...700r4...Edlebrock Carb and Headers...FUN. Next is the 1983 GMC Vandura 3500 Dually, Walk-in work area. The motor in it is a 1989 350 Vortek, but the TBI was removed and replaced with a aluminum High Rise and a Qjet. Tranny is a 700r4.
I am sure that info from you guys will help alot.
