What year? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Jamey1e · 10-13-2009, 05:01 PM

Just wondering what year you guys think this truck is. There is no visiable serial # anywhere, or atleast I can't find it.

Eyegore · 10-13-2009, 05:31 PM

It has the newer blazer suburban front end. Dash door panels could mean 81 and older to 87, best guess.

flamingbig10 · 10-13-2009, 06:05 PM

I say a 73-83, it maybe a 79-80 with a 73-78 dash the vin might be covered up

bigblock73 · 10-13-2009, 06:19 PM

It is likely an 81+, with the incorrect dash pad covering up the VIN

stepside85 · 10-13-2009, 06:25 PM

I was thinking pre 81 since it has the wiper switch on the dash above the headlight switch.

flamingbig10 · 10-13-2009, 06:29 PM

the wiper switch moved to column in 84

JohnC · 10-13-2009, 06:35 PM

I say 81-83 with the incorrect dash pad.

79gmcc15 · 10-13-2009, 06:54 PM

I agree, 81-83. you can tell the dash does not quite fit right around the bezel too. and it use to be a manual. but that is a really nice truck!

Pyrotechnic · 10-13-2009, 07:03 PM

I'm thinking 81-83 too since the wiper switch is still in the dash.

Jamey1e · 10-13-2009, 07:35 PM

Well don't hesitate to ask them. That's just one of many reasons we're here is to help each other out.

stepside85 · 10-14-2009, 02:11 PM

Is there a site where the vin can be run to see what year and options the truck is/has?

flamingbig10 · 10-14-2009, 02:17 PM

Jamey1e · 10-14-2009, 03:17 PM
