I’ve never heard of that. Is that something worth while?

Re: SPID Picture thread?
 

front axle posi can have ornery road manners and vulnerable if abused on dry pavement but unbeatable offroad traction when properly maintained and paired with rear posi :D

Re: SPID Picture thread?
 

Thanks Killer B, good to know. I don’t know much about the older 4x4’s but I do know the front axels don’t like dry pavement.
So in 2WH the truck will handle like any 2WD posi truck?
My plans are to junk the body and use the chassis under one of my other 127” C-10 pick-up bodies.

front hubs free and transfer case in 2H shouldn't bother anything up front..

the biggest issue I've heard of were on the later, lighter duty front axles..

now positrac was GM's name for limited slip on Dana axles..

might have a D44 up front (both my 71 k20 and 71 k1500 do) and might be a little heartier with it..

was thinking about adding one to my k20 at some point but haven't researched specifics yet..

but the bottom line is, they'll all serve you well to get out of the mud but won't care much for 4 wheel burnouts :lol:

looking forward to seeing more of what's under there.. divorced transfer case would be icing on the cake!

found one in a GSA suburban with pto winch but guy wanted too much for it..

Re: SPID Picture thread?
 

I wonder if that is a Canadian government spec truck. My brother has a 67 GMC K1500 and it has front and rear posi ,4speed. The spid is similar to yours. His was a government truck built in Oshawa. Either way it's pretty cool. If it's at all savable, it would be neat restored.

Re: SPID Picture thread?
 

The guy I got it off didn’t know. I thought a Forestry truck but the Gov Can makes sense. It’s an Oshawa truck. I’m thinking of pulling the GM Vintage Vehicles package on it to see where it was delivered. It originally came with utility buckets but at some point someone put a ford bench in.
Everything is saveable.... rare does not equal desirable. I think it would be too much to bring it back. I bought it for the running gear.

Re: SPID Picture thread?
 

Can anyone give me more info on my SPID or tell me how rare this truck is? Or even an in general let me know what you think. Attachment 1997982

Spotted this at a used car lot

Re: SPID Picture thread?
 

Looks to be a fairly typical government ordered mostly stripper short bed step side. Government ordered units well many times have a lot of goofy/unusual option call outs on the SP ID like yours. One thing your truck has that I have never seen before is the option call out for ‘ lift gate ‘. Any idea what that is about?

Not sure about the lift gate. Notches were cut at the rear of the truck, frame and bed under tailgate. No signs of ever having a bumper mounted. Other thing I felt was odd was lift gate, 1/2 ton, short bed. Truck only had 69,000 miles on it when I purchased it. Bed was not beat up at all, including the front of the bed. Truck came from Maryland, I would love to find pics of the lift gate. Story that came with the truck was purchased from surplus auction in 1975, kept for 20 years and sold in 1995, stored in a garage until I purchased it in 2010.

The first one, the B85 and BX2 are called out on a YE9 Cheyenne Super. Interesting.

Re: SPID Picture thread?
 

Thought of you today Eric when I was wearing my Chevyland hat. Do you have the truck in post #966 ( the first one)? Or just the glovebox door? I would like to see the 516 paint with the olive interior- thanks for sharing

Re: SPID Picture thread?
 

How come some supers specify the n33 comfort tilt column and some dont? My spid doesn’t list the n33 option yet it has a tilt column. I asked about it in a past thread and the general consensus was that all the black items had been added to my truck tilt column dash pad etc as the carpet was saddle but I think someone had just replaced the carpet and put the wrong color in. I believe the black items were original and the carpet was not.

Re: SPID Picture thread?
 

Show us your spid
Trucks didn’t have tilt unless it was on spid

Re: SPID Picture thread?
 

Cool on the hat :chevy:
I was cleaning the shop today
All those pictures are of gb doors I have laying around
That orange with green is definitely an odd one

Here’s another odd one
We are building this truck right now
To factory spid specifications
As soon as it’s finished I’ll post up some pics

Re: SPID Picture thread?
 

My jeep had front and rea5r lockouts . I had a 77 with them got me out of a lot of really muddy messes. White with woodgrain inserts .

Re: SPID Picture thread?
 

spid

Re: SPID Picture thread?
 

The way you have it setup now is correct
Parchment interior In copper truck =
Black carpet, dash pad, column
Although, I agree, the tilt was added at some point
And not factory,due to the fact it wasn’t listed on spid

Floor board?
