Nice truck I also have a SWB with only a 4" lift..... i see you have a 6" here.... what did you do it anything to the drive line angles etc? I already have the longer brake lines on mine with the steering arm etc.... but i was concerned if i went up two more inches how would by drive shafts be affected... or anything else?

Looks good.... any info i would appreciate it...

Thanks
Mike

Post by: Captkaos on January 18, 2012, 02:31:38 pm: The tank switch is to the left of the glovebox. If there was a switch there, someone added it, there was nothing ever there from GM.
Title: Re: 1985 Chevrolet Custom Deluxe 4wd
Post by: johnhood on January 18, 2012, 06:20:45 pm: the truck does have dual tanks i just wonder if it was added?
Title: Re: 1985 Chevrolet Custom Deluxe 4wd
Post by: Captkaos on January 18, 2012, 08:59:30 pm: If there is no switch hole to the left of the ashtray and that is where the switch was, that was definitely added, you can tell that hole was cut.

Title: Re: 1985 Chevrolet Custom Deluxe 4wd
Post by: 87454westernhauler on January 19, 2012, 07:26:39 am: look in your glove box.
Title: Re: 1985 Chevrolet Custom Deluxe 4wd
Post by: Captkaos on January 19, 2012, 11:34:47 am: VIN won't tell the options that came with the truck only the RPO sheet, which should be in the glovebox as stated.
