I spent some tax money on a 85 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

rigon4 · 02-19-2009, 03:54 PM

I picked this up yesterday its a 1985 short step and the old timer called it his street rod. The thing has a 502 th400 and and eaton locker in it all in the last 10k miles. The old timer bought it in 1994 with a small block spray motor in it that lasted 3k miles and parked it. He put it back on the road in 2002 with the current drive line. Three years ago he blow the rear seal in the trans and parked it

right on, is that 4 exhaust pipes or am I seeing things?

jchav62 · 02-19-2009, 04:11 PM

That's cool! I bet that 502 MOVE'S that little shortbed. Looks like "stacks" o' fun!

rigon4 · 02-19-2009, 04:17 PM

the stacks are just for looks

C-10volvo · 02-19-2009, 04:22 PM

I digg the quad exhausts and massive air horns. Was the previous owner a trucker or something?

silvereagle07 · 02-19-2009, 04:47 PM

Nice stacks! Look cool on the stepside.

Chlsnk · 02-19-2009, 05:56 PM

Whats with the SS305 decal?

66truckin · 02-19-2009, 06:06 PM

people may mistake it for a dodge lil red express truck with those stacks

84 400 · 02-19-2009, 06:07 PM

Wow I would keep it just like that. Its a blast from the past.

Damien · 02-20-2009, 04:51 PM

I was thinking Lil Red Express too. Whats the deal with everyone flipping air lids?!?

ahh old trick. give you a little more airflow and a cooler sound

Damien · 02-20-2009, 05:16 PM

But on an open element air cleaner? This is just going too far!

or...he cut the stud too short

rick1956 · 02-20-2009, 09:02 PM

God, look at the size of those horns in the first picture! I woulda bought it just for those!

Train sound, semi truck sound, or Cadillac sound?

rigon4 · 02-28-2009, 11:59 AM

some new pics

babyJay · 02-28-2009, 12:56 PM

That truck is solid looking for being a New England truck. Nice find! I like it better w/o the stacks.

bigblazerboy · 02-28-2009, 01:32 PM

i like it a lot better with out the running boards and stacks. but i dont know about the exhaust tips

Red_69 · 02-28-2009, 02:17 PM

I haven't seen Supertrapp mufflers in years.

rigon4 · 02-28-2009, 03:14 PM

I thought the suppertraps would be louder because its headers pipes and those out back no cats
