Okay,
I'm buying this 1975 Scottsdale and there is something I need help with. Did they make a 1 ton in 1975? The emblem on the side is a K30 emblem. I started looking and there was no 1 ton made for chevy that year. The VIN says it's a 3/4 ton. Autozone said there was no listing on their systems for 1 tons in that year, and Schucks says there is on their systems. It's hard to find any info, but I did find something listed as a 1 ton on cargurus.com. Same tow tone red/white color and model. And the emblam on that truck says it's a K30 as well.
I'm so confused. The guy that I'm buying it from is an older guy that's had it for 3 years, and was under the impression it was a 1 ton, and I don't think he's trying to lie to me. It does not have the original engine in it either. It's a beefed up 454.
So anyway, bottom line, I don't really care if it's a 3/4 ton or 1 ton. Either way it will do just fine for towing the boat, etc. I just need to find out what the heck it is so when I order parts for it, I can order the right stuff. The truck is in really nice shape, the engine is sweet, I just want to add the final touches.
Any help or advice would be appreciated. Thanks.
