I can't say for sure on the Canadian version, but US is a definite no.
Really? I've been looking for a 454 powered 3/4 ton K20 sub for quite some time.

That might explain why.

Re: My 87 Build Thread

Well, its on the road. Been able to get lots fo stuff done with this time off from school for the holidays. The torque converted stopped working, it was bone dry inside. Switched transmissions completely just to be sure, used one from a 93 c1500, just switched the tailstock. Since I came across a spare transmission, I decided to use the motor that was in the truck already. Rockers and cab corners were skipped when the truck was repainted a few years back by the previous owner. So It got new corners and rockers for the safety. Couldnt find the correct paint to match, but found something to get by. Also resolved a wiper issue thanks to BLE 'BURBAN. Spent a good amount of time oil spraying the truck before it saw any snow/salt to help prevent corrrison. This truck needed to get on the road so my dads 86 scottsdale can come off the road to be put on a 3/4 ton 4x4 frame. Here it is as it sits.
