Re: One Year Only Stuff 73-87...
1981 is the only year the Olds 5.7 diesel was in an 81-87 style truck from the factory. I've never even seen a living example.

Re: One Year Only Stuff 73-87...
There is 1 year only tow hooks on the 81. They are shaped like the 82 up, but beefy like the 73-80.

Re: One Year Only Stuff 73-87...
We load a lot of trucks at my place of employment and I pay close attention to any 73-87 squarebody that rolls in. There is a regular customer that drives a 81 long bed that has a gas v8 in it, but the fender emblem says diesel. The truck is in real good condition. Two tone red and burgundy with a red interior. Ill try to take a pic next time he stops by.

when i thought my 88 was 85 "To answer your earlier question: no TBIs on fullsize trucks in '85. We've had this discussion before and I can answer with confidence, because I 've had conversation with the GM Powertrain guys who did the calibrations for these TBI engines. They have said no TBIs until 1987 model year."

Re: One Year Only Stuff 73-87...
I worked at a trans shop about 10 years ago and an '81 Suburban came in with that goofy ass diesel in it. Engine ran surprisingly well. It's the only one I've ever seen in person.

Re: One Year Only Stuff 73-87...
Probably stupid, but I believe '75 had a one year only fan shroud for the sbc. At least I assume so since no one repops them and nobody seems to know anything about them.

Re: One Year Only Stuff 73-87...
What year did they start the 400 engine?
I have seen 400 grill emblems and thought they started in '76 or 77? Quote:

Re: One Year Only Stuff 73-87...
Hello everyone, I believe 1981 was the first and last year to have the newly designed, squarish center console with the bucket seats. I do not see the bucket seat option in pick ups after 1981 in any of my literature.
