Scootin 81 C20 · 02-09-2010, 09:45 PM

Pics of the trucks would be nice.

fla wildman · 02-09-2010, 10:39 PM

Ya they would help need to scan some of my old ones or take new ones I'll work on that.

Mr.Chevy4x4 · 02-09-2010, 10:55 PM

I have a 1987 short bed step side 4x4 Silverado with TBI 5.7, 700r4, 3.42:1 gears, locker, and almost every option except power locks. Only one I've ever seen with power windows and manual locks. It's red with what I think is a factory stripe package.

I wouldn't call it oddball but the 80 dually 4x4 on these build sheets had every possible option including buckets,tach,sport bumpers and deluxe camper special ....

Meh, isn't it missing cruise, power windows/locks?

It also doesn't have the AM/FM/CB radio.

thanks 80SPORT for posting this build sheet now i know what the factory colors are for my truck and this is one bad dully

konajoe · 02-12-2010, 03:00 PM

I picked up this 85 C20 Bonus Cab this past summer, basically a C30 crew cab without a back seat. The funny thing is that is has a/c, power windows & locks and the Silverado interior.

6.6 L engine-LF4
Automatic transmission- M40
Side mounted spare wheel carrier-P13
Extended stainless steel camper mirrors-DF2
Cruise control-k30
Insulation panel-BS4
radiator HD-VO2

bumslie75 · 02-10-2010, 02:41 AM

Wow thats a really nice truck

cableguy0 · 02-10-2010, 02:50 AM

I have an 84 gmc. originally a 6.2 diesel/700r4 3.42 posi. a/c power windows/locks. am/fm radio cruise tilt delay wipers dual tanks. But has a rubber floor mat and vinyl seat.

b454rat · 02-10-2010, 09:00 AM

Im still stuck on this 5-speed. What is it, and don't believe it till I see some pics.

thirdstreettito · 02-10-2010, 09:17 AM

Mine is extremely rare. Maybe ten of them in the world. I dont know how many of those are left. In 84 only %12 of K10's were 6.2 diesel. So take that number and think how many were shortbed. Mine is a shortbed. Plus, mine has EVERY option except the spare tire. Its is fully friggin loaded. Unfortunately I dont have the money to restore it to original, so Im going to make it a DD offroad machine.

Well I went to high school with a girl that here mother ,father and herself all had sort bed diesels. Must of been a family tradition.

But mine is the only stepside diesel I have ever seen.

I really hate to break it to you, but there's a guy in this thread with an 'extremely rare' diesel K10 swb...and there's 10 of them over on diesel page...don't get me wrong, it looks nice, but it's not rare at all actually...

I'd like to hear more about this 5 speed, too -

Keith Seymore · 02-10-2010, 11:43 AM

I think they're all oddballs -

Back then you could order pretty much whatever you wanted; like our '82 2wd swb Diesel.

I've been told mine is odd (by some of you all) but I never thought about it, since I ordered it myself:

'87, V6, 4 speed manual overdrive, 3.73 posi axle; cruise, bedmount spare, vinyl floor mat and seat, tach cluster, manual windows and locks, air, Scottsdale trim level, just to name a few.
