Option info from GM you must read
So I call GM of Canada today and they sent me some information on finding out the options on my '79 Stepside Sport that was built in Canada. They said I can fill out the form and send it in and they will send me all the build data on my truck. Now here is the good news, the way I understand is, they have this information on all trucks from '77 and newer, even the ones built in the states. Here is the website

http://www.vintagevehicleservices.com/options.html

Here is his information

George Zapora
General Motors of Canada
Vintage Vehicle Services
CA1-160-001
1908 Colonel Sam Drive
Oshawa, ON
Canada L1H 8P7

Phone: 905-440-7636
Fax: 905-440-7644

Jeff, I asked if this information could be posted on a website and he welcomed the idea. I called the number you had listed on your 73-87.com site and it has been changed to the one above. I hope you guys find this information helpful. I am going to send my information out this week. He did say the cost for US trucks is around $110. so call him before you send your form in.

Chris

Re: Option info from GM you must read
I have had to use there service when the stupid smog police here pulled me over and they literally had no clue what emissions equipment came on the truck('80 CK20HD) from factory.
For $25CDN that shut them up and the letter from GM stays in the glove box for the next idiot that pulls me

Great Service for those that need numbers and original equipment details for there GMC/Chevy vehicle....and yes it will cost you $$$ for the info. to be sent to you.

A tired warrior of the 1980s in a world of low profile tires, front wheel drive, and plastic bumpers, where people stay in their houses until snowplows move the offending substance from their paths, too helpless to travel without AAA and chains and salt, clearing their windows with longhandled brushes while gently stepping around in the snow trying to stay nice and dry.

Specially trained officers that go around checking the smog/emissions equipment on vehicles to make sure that it is all there as it came from the factory...just that they are not trained very well here
They check for (if it is to be there from factory) EGR, PCV, Cats, Charcoal canister...etc.
Mine only needs the PCV
They did not care about the air pump...thank you very much..as it is not there.
