I wish there was a way to find out a sequintial production number to find out what truck it is..In the order they were built..Just the 454 SS's that is..
Any idea where they hid a build sheet on these?
I may put the motor/trans in it and take it to bristol dragway here in a few weeks..to see what it will do..  |
That's a great deal on the truck! Looks fairly straight, even if it's been a bit butchered.
GM didn't keep track of the 454SS's, only the quantity ordered. In 1990, there were over 16,000 of them built and the quantity decreased greatly over the next 3 years. Make sure the VIN has an N in the middle, that's the biggest giveaway that it was built to be a 454SS with the 14 bolt rear, bucket seats, upgraded/heavy duty suspension, boat anchor 454 engine and TH375 trans.
If you go to
www.454ss.com you can find some info there on the truck that's more specific also. Good luck with the build! Look forward to seeing you bring her back into shape.
