cab chassis question

[79 blue monster]

so my neighbor has a 84 chevy cab chassis truck he said i can have the rear end if i pull the motor. then hes scraping the rest. is their anything i should grab off of it or just let it go? i have the spid if anybody needs to see it.

If any of the interior is nice or even stuff like the trim and badges if they are nice grab them.

Im only going to say this once... the original poster is asking what he should grab for himself.. he is a non sudscriber and is following the rules. If others start asking him for parts and he sells them to you he gets into trouble .also anyone who is a non subscriber who asks for parts in this thread is posting a want to buy and that is also not allowed here. There will be infractions given for anyone violating the rules here . so lets not turn this thread into anything that it is not any further wtbs or things to take it off track will result in it being locked

Is it diesel or gas? You could grab the hydro-boost brakes as an upgrade for your vacuum assist,the windshield and rear window would be nice for "extras",if the interior is nice,grab that. Is it auto or manual?

[79 blue monster]

yes its just for myself, it is a chevy 350/4speed. i'll probibly grab the interior if its good, and the grille. one of the codes on the spid says -G60 RR SPRS AUX what would that stand for?

From the sounds of it those would be helper springs, basically a second set of I think it was two or three leafs that mounted stacked with the original one ton spring package slightly bumping up the gvwr.

Also, as I think it over, I would probably grab the proportioning valve and the MC/Booster for the brakes as well if you're taking the rear end. Given that its a C+C truck it is possible that it could have different diameter brakes than what the truck you'd be swapping it into has... I know GM used different size brakes from model to model, just not what all the option codes were and when you got into something that was different - my thinking is the work-oriented nature of the C+C would mean different/heavier duty brakes than the average pickup, and thus if you just swapped the rear end into a truck your other parts (esp the prop valve) might not allow them to work as well as they used to...

I remember once about 8-9 years ago when ordering parts before I had to come up with that the brake option code was because the parts I needed differed, and there was more than one option for my weight rating....

If the dash isn't cracked get it if the gauges have a tach get them,I would strip off as much as i need anything else you could always sell on craigslist or ebay too.But if you make any money the right thing to do is split it with the guy tho.

i do live in the country, but dont have a back 40 by my house. haha

[79 blue monster]

the owner pulled it out today and his son striped it... i looked over the frame and its rotted out in several spots, cab doors and fenders are garbage. ohh well probibly wouldnt have used much of it anyway.haha im still geting the rear end tho.

[mopar346]

You do know the rear end is narrower than a normal truck right? I would have grabbed the tailgate and/or complete bed.

[76Charlie]

If it had a double fuel tank, grab the switch, they go bad often and are expensive to replace, also grab things for emergency brakes...thats all I can think of that is useful.

[79 blue monster]

yes , thats the reason why im getting it. i want a narrower rearend. its got a single tank.
