Since I bought this truck I've parted out a 1988 V30 and will be putting the Dana 60 and the bed and rear bumper towards this project along with a VSS NP205 I found in 2019. I'm going to build a 400SBC with Vortec heads a custom cam and the TBI unit from a 454 with a goal of 400-500FT-LBS/300-450HP on 87 octane, convert the truck from heat only to A/C, convert it to 4x4 and it will become my next winter beater/work truck. At this point I've got basically all the parts if I decide I'm willing to pull the 400SBC out of my 84 GMC K1500 but I'm currently driving it and don't have the money to start this project at the moment either, so she waits for richer days.

Bought this back in April 2018 and I could have sworn I posted about this back when I bought it but after looking threw my old posts I apparently did not. Found myself a 1991 Chevrolet R3500 dually, TBI350/4L80E driveline and a Dana 70HD rear axle with about 250000KM for $900. She runs, drives, stops and has the high transmission hump for a 4x4 conversion.

Well it's been a couple years but I'm back and a brought another truck with me.
This time I found myself a 1984 Chevrolet C10 Suburban with a 700R4 trans and a 6.2 diesel with 114 or 214 thousand miles that locked up due to a bad head gasket being left to sit. A/C, tan cloth interior (with a tan vinyl bench in front), cruise control, power locks, crank windows, power tailgate, quad headlights and very little rust, all for $1750.
Future plans include trying to free up the 6.2, then if it fires head gaskets and some small exterior rust patches and it should be close to road worthy again.

Rubber stamp. It's like Chevrolet vs GMC trucks. The differences are merely badging. Although, in recent years e/g is imported.

Did some of these trucks come with a Remy alternator, or factory AC Delco? I swear I remember seing those Remy brand alternators a lot when I was a kid. Which one is more quality. Thanks…

Gasoline?? That seems kinda harsh/caustic. Plus the smell makes my head hurt. But I do like the benefit of making my truck go.  What I have done so far is spray it down with Dawn Power wash, let it soak, spray some more and then use a red scrubbing pad to scrub it down. Did that twice. I not is not sticky, but has a whiteish film. I am contemplating trying interior trim detailer. Or I might do what the paint guy suggested and purchase the SEM Tac Free and then spray with SEM flexible paint #15013. Still contemplating
