I'm Inlikeflint... I'm new... I'm not sure what year mine is. I bought mine without the front clip, cab, etc... It has six lugs and will only take 235/75R15's or 215/75R15s... I tried putting on 265/75R16's but they rub on the inside of my wheel wells so... that's why I joined (Bone up on some info before I go out and make a spacer purchase).

My current cabs to haul this bed around are 1996 Suburban 2500 and a 2001 Suburban 2500... and a 1984 ElCamino.

Here’s my 1986 c30 2wd long bed
350v8 4.10 g80 14bolt ff rear
All original sheet metal, original paint
All glass is original, passenger vent window broken.
Pulled out of a storage yard about 6 months ago now not running.
Threw it up on the lift had to put in a new flywheel and starter.
Since then it’s been running great and my daily driver all lettered up now for my shop!

What do they call the longer stepside is it the Longhorn. See one everyday driving to work, fairly good shape 2wd 3/4 ton in a lighter green.

Here's my '85. Started life as a municipal truck in Oklahoma where the PO and his FIL did most of a frame up restoration. 454 from an rv, 295s for rubber front and rear and then PO moved up to Victoria for work where I picked it up. Now I'm slowly finishing what they started. It's somewhat fast, loud and runs on smiles per gallon!

Ive got a number of those trucks in my hoard. The blue plain jane truck is very clean 6 cyl stick only option is power steering, the engine knocks. I have a good 350 to put in it. The Silverado has some rust issues is a 3/4 ton. I went to a estate sale and bought three trucks a 74 half ton a 86 3/4 ton and a 76 ford 1/2 ton 4 wheel drive. Sold the ford for more than I paid for all three. The blue and white 74 is parts. Locked engine frozen trans and locked rear end. I think its been under water? the Tan and brown 3/4 is good the350 engine is good the body has ne rust. Its bent up and I have it taken apart to replace the front cap and doors. I think I will spray bomb paint it like my Silverado make it a 50 footer and install my wrecker sling and winch on it. it has a granny 4 speed. just don't want to do body work and add any filler so will leave the dents and dings.
