I've been lurking around here a little bit, so I figure I could join in:

That is quite a beast you have there! What are the stats on it?

You will not find a more informative site on the internet when it comes to Chevy trucks, glad you joined us!

Thanks for the complement, and no worries I always had a hard time remembering which one was which (R & V)!

My truck is a 1986 GMC. It has a 454 and a 4 speed and has been running on propane since January 1991. I converted it back to gasoline in the fall of 2011. It's also got some other nice features like power windows/locks, a/c and tilt steering.

Considering the area I live in, the truck was in pretty good shape for it's age. It also only had 130k km's on it when I bought it.

This is how it looked the day I drove it home:



And shortly after cleaning it up and putting it back to gas:



And this is in the body shop this summer:



I wanted to get it repainted now before the rust got out of hand. The frame and underside of the cab were both in great shape too.

Here is mine. Picked it up a couple of months ago. Its a 1990 V3500 4x4. Had 85,000 original miles when I bought it. TBI 454, TH400 trans, NP205, Crew cab, DRW, 3+3, silverado trim, A/C, cruise control, tilt wheel, dana 60 front, dana 80 rear, factory tow package. Its an all factory option truck. I could hardly believe what I was seeing when I went to go look at it. Future plans is a cummins swap, 8" lift, 22" aluminum semi rims, some new paint, and some custom bumpers.

Sweet truck! You sure you don't have a D70HD in it? Chevy didn't use Dana 80's in these.

Thanks guys. I was pretty sure chevy never used them either, but I will post a picture of it just to make sure. I spent a lot of time on google looking at pictures of the dana 80, 70, and 14 bolt. Hey 1989CCD, what size of lift and tires is that? That's about the height I would like to achieve.

I just joined the club but I haven't even seen mine in person yet. My wonderful wife got this for me even though she doesn't like "old stuff" so next month when I get home from Afghanistan will be the first time I see it in person. It was still begin driven on a regular basis. Even if that were not the case for 680 bucks it's a steal.

Yep its an R20. Can't wait to get home and start getting this thing looking good again. It's going to be a DD so the progress is going to be slow.
