1980 Chevy Silverado Limited Edition

[87454westernhauler]

just bought a 1980 chevy 1/2 ton silverado Limited Edition 350 sbc4b with 350 trans on tuesday for $600. Drove it 40 miles home in a 50 mph cross wind in a blizzard with no problems except the heater core blowing out in it when i got stuck in my yard. Has only 112k on it and very little rust for an iowa truck. steering and suspension on it are like new and it has all the bells and wistles on it. have you guys ever heard of limited edition silverados before? has the crome tube grill and custom bench seat in it, so i don't know if that was an option with the limited edition or not or if someone just stuck it on it. this truck is a riley sweet and in very good shape for the price.

No such thing as a "Limited Edition" in 1973-1987.

ill work on pictures. crowled under it and the box is in horable shape underneath, but it looks good from the out side

i was working on trying to get the drivers side window and locks to work and found out that all of the wires for it are busted off in between the door and cab. is there a no wire set up so that the wires don't have to be ran in between the door and cab? Spent all of sunday afternoon removing all of the old window tint and cleaning the glass and doors up and waxed the white roof.

I think autoloc.com makes a contact plate kit that'll sever the connection when the door is open. Its done with contact plates that mount to your door and cowl. Pretty cool stuff but I like having my doors open and speakers blaring

The Limited Edition was probably something that either the dealer did as a dress-up job or perhaps in your region of the state. I see stuff like that around here all the time, especially when I lived on the prairies. They were always making "Special Editions" out of something. Sounds like a nice truck though.

sux, that was what my dad was thinking it was too. It had been in the lady's family who i bought it from since it was new, and has been in my area for its entire life. its going to need a lot of little work, but it will be nice when i am done.

heres a crapy picture of it. still working on getting a better one.

I finnaly figured out what was wrong with the passanger window. the channel that bolts to the glass and that the rollers for the regulator run through is missing . would one off of a manuel crank regulator work or is the power window one different, and how would you guys recomend trying to put it in??

[jaredts]

The channel at the bottom of the glass?  I think its glued on.  If that's what you're talking about get another window glass.
