Anything special to look for?
I've got a call in on another truck. 1984 dually, 454/tbh400. Other than the usual problem areas on the squares, is there anything special I should be looking for?
I was over my old K-20 with a fine tooth comb, the C series and dual wheel might be a whole nother can of worms. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Check for frame rot, usual stuff. There were also several wheel base options, if the the truck doesn`t have a factory bed on it, chassis cab, flatbed.

Re: Anything special to look for?
From what I see from posted pic, it's a factory pick-up. Rear fenders are rough but not as bad as my K-20. (my sig line is true. PO didn't want hassle of scrapping truck)
Some rust I can deal with, though it can give me a little wiggle room in price.

Re: Anything special to look for?
Thought I'd give an update- Merry Christmas to me, I'm now the owner of an '86 C-30 dually. Little rough but that's what projects are for.
![]() CL add listed it as an '84, but turned out to be an '86. According to the title, PO has only put 1600mi on it in the past 4 years. Add was correct in some things, 454/tbh400. ![]() guess I better change my sig. ![]()

Re: Anything special to look for?
I'll get one in due time. when I posted it was dark, and on dial-up loading even 1 pic takes time.
It was nice to finally look at a southern truck, some rust spots on cab corners, but rockers and floor are good. Being a relatively unmolested truck, I think I now have samples of every piece of smog equipment GM ever used. Except the cats. One of the PO's did put a dual exhaust on it. Needs replacing again at some point.
