a) Anybody know who the Chief Engineer was for the '73 C/K trucks? Would he have the last name of Seymore?

b) Along those lines, how about Chief Engineer for the GMT800 models? GMT900 models? Same as above..

c) Where were Chevy trucks designed in the mid 80's? Dunno.

d) The '73 - 87 C/K/R/V trucks were offered in which cab and model types (what wheelbase and series)?

Reg Cab short wheel base 117.5"
Reg Cab Long wheel base 131.5"
Crew Cab Long wheel base 164.5"


e) Bonus points for the above if you can name the number (and size) of the wheel lugs

5, 6, 8... but no sizes.. 1/2 point?

f) What was the only plant to produce the C/K/R/V Blazer/Suburban? Janesville, WI

g) What was the first year for the Cadillac Escalade? Where does that first truck reside? 1999, Arlington Texas

h) What was the base axle for a 85 swb 2wd with the 305 engine/turbo 350 trans (lol - I don't know this one either. I was hoping someone could tell me!)
10 bolt 3.07(or 3.08) ratio

i) What year was the front end sheetmetal change for the '73 - 87 pickups?
81, but 80 did have a square headlight option with the old sheetmetal.

j) Prior to the above change, a small design feature was added to the front of the hood. What year was that and why was that feature added?
Hood ornament?



Let's see how that goes, and I'll add more later if need be.
