Info for Travel Time conversions?

Earlier in the week I brought home a 1994 Chevy regular cab, stepside and its supposed to be a Travel Time conversion but I'm not finding any info on the trucks. From what I've seen, it was done more on the vans? Should I have some sort of special RPO for it? The Travel Time sticker is still on the tailgate, and there's a script of Travel Time and a parrot on the horn button. And it does have the overhead console with the lighting in the middle of the interior's roof.

If what I was told was true, the truck has 72k original miles that was bought brand new by the grandparent of who I bought it from. He ordered it himself and requested a vortec v6 installed instead of the regular 4.3L. Which is another question, did vortec 4.3's come out in '96 or before?

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Vortec 4.3 was out at least in 94 (had one in my old GMC truck) possibly 93.

Can you take a pic of the engine bay? That will help us determine what engine you have.

Every single 4.3L is a vortec, every since they were made in the 80's.



1993-1995 4.3L's came standard with CPI "Vortec" heads, not the same CSFI "Vortec" heads used in 1996+
