Got my SWB donor truck! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

$500 bought a running 1985 2wd shortbed with a valid state inspection. Fortunately, I wasn't buying it for the powerhouse 327 that the owner claimed it was powered by because it turns out it's a tired 305 with a pretty street dominator carb and intake and Edelbrock valve covers. The deal-maker was the rust-free bed floor and cross sills that are hard to come by in the northeast.

One question: What gears is a 1985, 305-powered shortbed likely to have?
