Well - the specifics change a little bit from year to year, but given that model year span....

Here's the information packet from the GM Heritage Center archive, so you can read exactly what GM thinks was included or excluded for 1973:

and 1980 -

Those are great Keith! Do you have one you can post for 1978?

Did anyone else notice on the 73 that there was no K30 listed... Did they build a K30 in 73? I saw the c30, but not the K30. This would explain why the K20 that dad bought new was so heavily sprung...

Thank you. I agree - those packets were derived directly from the charts that we would use to release the parts to production, so they're very definitive.

I'm glad you all are appreciating it; I tried getting my Chevelle buddies turned on to it and they were kinda "blah" about the whole thing....
