bigblock73 · 08-20-2004, 01:38 PM

Yes, mostly on the 6 cylinder powered models as well as the base models.

Grande Rojo · 08-20-2004, 01:43 PM

70's GM trucks were like that. You (or the dealer) could order them just about any way you wanted. My 82 Blazer is a Silverado with almost all the options except power windows and power door locks. It has a "rear" power window, but not the front windows....

Yep. The options often made no sense at all. My Silverado has just about every option, but manual locks and windows. I have heavy duty rear springs, but the light duty brakes...

My 1982 CD stepside 6 cyl had PS added after the truck was bought because it was a bear to drive w/o it. That truck had a 4 speaker AM/FM cassette stereo factory, tach and gauges (were these available with a 6? They worked) and little else.

TIMSPEED · 08-20-2004, 07:23 PM

Same with my truck. It's a Cheyenne, with all the features of the silverado (except AC of course)

plumbcut · 08-20-2004, 09:33 PM

well ill go against the grain and say that my sierra classic has every option!

ok not really but most of em

SanitysBane · 08-20-2004, 10:51 PM

my sierra has light duty brakes, hd springs...and our 77 scottsdale had heavy duty 1 ton front brakes and light duty 1 ton rears, it was an odd truck but ran good

77bowtie · 08-22-2004, 12:36 PM

Both my 77 K-10, 79 C-10 came with power steering.
