Hello From Dallas/Ft.Worth
« 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.

Welcome from NW Indiana.  Extended cabs are a rare find.  There are a few owners on this site.  Post some better pics I sure would like to see what ya got.  http://conversiontrucks.net/ is a good resource, Choptop is the site owner and from Texas as well.  He has 5 last time I counted....
