What year?

Hi,
I'm mostly on the 67-72 board and I'm not an expert on the 73-87 trucks. I wonder if anyone here could say what year this wrecker is. It looks like an 80 in the front to me but the seller says it's an 86. I haven't seen it in person yet, just the pics. I'm considering going look at it but it is 6-7 hours away.
Thanks.

Re: What year?

If the cluster is original, then it could be 86-88

Re: What year?

The engine has been replaced. It should not be blue for a late 80s truck.
Ask for the VIN.

Re: What year?

I said "Could have been"

I know they were available, I didn't know they were standard on c/k 30

The motor must be from a early 80's, late 70's Van with the blue block as mentioned.
( the reason I say van, look at the oil & tranny dip stick and air cleaner )



"80SPORT" Your Primary color and Secondary Color on your truck is the same as mine.

What color is the primary? I was told crimson red, but I wanted to be sure. (dark Carmine secondary )

Re: What year?

thats late eighties the dash and the nose are the givewawy UNLESS it was rebuilt and restored by a late eighties model fan and then the vin would have to tell the truth or it was stolen and re tagged by a thief who used an 1980 tag and noone else picked up on it, but you would think sme official would have checked the chassis number

Re: What year?

Wow, a lot of answers.
Thank you everyone for your replys.
I was also thinking previous diesel when I saw the hydroboost but now I learned that all 30's came with it.
Thanks

Re: What year?

Nice Wreaker
people here both in sweden, norway, denmark and many other european/skandinavian changes the front end out for a newer model most of the time to the 89-91
the guy i bought my cab of had a 74 crew cab dually but it had complete 89-91 front end, powerdoors and dash
