The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network - How about some pics of 73-87 Long Beds?

Here's my truck. Just brought her into the family this past December. She's had a good life, but has sat for 2 1/2 years prior to coming home with me. I had been looking for a truck like this and got tired of seeing it sit there... to pretty to let her rust away to nothing.

She's a 1986 GMC C3500 Custom, 454 w/ Quadrajet, 4 speed manual, in bed kingpin (inverted 5th wheel setup, where the trailer has a 5th wheel and the pickup has the kingpin). She's cancer free, tho the clearcoat is starting to peel just a tad.

What's everyone think?

WOW! nice truck,I love those long duallys,makes me wish I had a need for one so I could justify owning one!

I justified it by telling the wife that Ivec wanted one for years (truth). :-)

Thanks. I want to swap by 350 out for a 700. I have an early 4L60E but that seems too expensive to swap needing a TPS and a ECU. Easier to sell it and pull a 700R out of a 4X4 maybe???

well we did a big post on this but bad thing is your tc is a np203 or 205 so it takes a adapter or you need the a np208 or np241.

Been working on the interior, just replaced the seat cover. The carpet is original 1982 carpet and still looks presentable. It still needs new door panels and a dash cover. The old 8 track still works!

My dad's 1987 Silverado C-10
350 engine
5 bolt American Racing rims
Dual fuel tanks

Behind the mini bulk fertilizer tanks, you can see the top of our parts Scottsdale.

She didn't want to start today, so I could only get this picture of it
It's a 1982 Silverado K-10
6.2 liter diesel
2 tone paint- blue and gray
Pretty rusty, but she gets the job done. I love the sound of it starting.
