Pics of the trucks would be nice.

fla wildman · 02-09-2010, 10:39 PM

Ya they would help need to scan some of my old ones or take new ones I'll work on that.

Mr.Chevy4x4 · 02-09-2010, 10:55 PM

I have a 1987 short bed step side 4x4 Silverado with TBI 5.7, 700r4, 3.42:1 gears, locker, and almost every option except power locks. Only one I've ever seen with power windows and manual locks. It's red with what I think is a factory stripe package.

80SPORT · 02-10-2010, 12:38 AM

I wouldn't call it oddball but the 80 dually 4x4 on these build sheets had every possible option including buckets,tach,sport bumpers and deluxe camper special ....

bumslie75 · 02-10-2010, 02:41 AM

Wow thats a really nice truck

cableguy0 · 02-10-2010, 02:50 AM

I have an 84 gmc. originally a 6.2 diesel/700r4 3.42 posi. a/c power windows/locks. am/fm radio cruise tilt delay wipers dual tanks. But has a rubber floor mat and vinyl seat.

b454rat · 02-10-2010, 09:00 AM

Im still stuck on this 5-speed. What is it, and don't believe it till I see some pics.

thirdstreettito · 02-10-2010, 09:17 AM

Mine is extremely rare. Maybe ten of them in the world. I dont know how many of those are left. In 84 only %12 of K10's were 6.2 diesel. So take that number and think how many were shortbed. Mine is a shortbed. Plus, mine has EVERY option except the spare tire. Its is fully friggin loaded. Unfortunately I dont have the money to restore it to original, so Im going to make it a DD offroad machine.

D13 · 02-10-2010, 09:35 AM

1981 GMC 2500 built as a farmer's special
Options: L6-250 engine (that's right - an integral head even)
3OTT manual trans (not even a granny)
has base (sport) mirrors (cheaper)
carmine red ('cause Mom whined about the 4 previous blue vehicles..)
HD cooling
HD shocks
Firestone highway radials on 16.5" wheels
14bolt SF 3.42 w/gov-lock
No spare ($$)
no rear bumper (so Sis couln't tear up the truck towing her horses - never did learn to drive a stick)
Sliding rear window
MANUAL STEERING! it's the only 3/4 I've ever seen with that.
radio delete
heater only
manual windows, locks
rubber floor
vinyl seat

It was a real nightmare to turn in a parking lot with those big tires and manual steering.

My 87, on the ohter hand, is a fully optioned diesel.

bigblock73 · 02-10-2010, 09:58 AM

80sport...I LOVE that dooley!!! Is it yours?

GM72K10 · 02-10-2010, 10:12 AM

Didn't bid high enough to get it but this low mileage 88 K30 trash compactor would probably be considered "odd"

rcbildr · 02-10-2010, 10:25 AM

Mine is an 83 shortbed, 4x4, diesel, 700R4, 3:73 axles, dual tanks, power windows, power locks, cargo lamp, and a few other options I can't remember. I'll try to post a pic soon.

1973GMC_1500 · 02-10-2010, 11:27 AM

thirdstreettito, is that shortbox 6.2 for sale?? How much?

I like oddball trucks too.
My '73 GMC-
1/2 ton 2WD
Custom
307 2bbl V8
3 Speed Manual
Power Steering
Gage package (oil, temp, amps)
AM radio
Buckskin interior
Painted Mirrors
Heater
Rear Step Bumper

Theres a late 70s C20 Silverado running around here with no AC, chrome trim looks funny with no vents.

My '82 C20 Custom Deluxe has AC, gages, cloth seat, but had a factory AM radio. 6.2 Diesel with a 4 speed

I'd like to hear more about this 5 speed, too -

Keith Seymore · 02-10-2010, 11:43 AM

I think they're all oddballs -

Back then you could order pretty much whatever you wanted; like our '82 2wd swb Diesel.

I've been told mine is odd (by some of you all) but I never thought about it, since I ordered it myself:

'87, V6, 4 speed manual overdrive, 3.73 posi axle; cruise, bedmount spare, vinyl floor mat and seat, tach cluster, manual windows and locks, air, Scottsdale trim level, just to name a few.

Meh, isn't it missing cruise, power windows/locks?

It also doesn't have the AM/FM/CB radio.
