well i got a offer on a truck that i couldnt pass up . its a 1985 chevy c 20 with a 305 and a 4speed with a granny gear . it has some rust issuse but what truck that was used as a work horse doesnt . its got 91,000 on it just needs a water pump to run but for $150 it couldnt be better . its got over $150 in new parts and tires so i think i did pretty good .

sdkid · 05-01-2009, 11:48 PM

Nothing wrong with that. I'd call it a score. '85, is that a tbi engine?

MylilBowTie · 05-02-2009, 06:55 AM

TBI is 87 so its carbed unless not stock.

Good deal on the truck looks nice.

1tonblaze · 05-02-2009, 07:03 AM

its a carb engine wish it was tbi . I have no clue what i am going to do with it yet . I am thinking about fixing the cab rust taking the bed off and making a nice flat bed . does any one know if a dully frame and a regular c20 truck frame are the same ?

MylilBowTie · 05-02-2009, 07:32 AM

Not sure about the dully frame. The 1/2 and 3/4 frame are the same. One tons are narrower and I think the frame is thicker metal but not positive.

1tonblaze · 05-02-2009, 04:17 PM

yeah thats what i thought oh well at least it has a bigger bed then my little s -10

1tonblaze · 05-03-2009, 07:38 PM

thank you to who moved this over here to this section . might get more answers over here lol

84lwb · 05-03-2009, 08:08 PM

nice score!looks like it has minimal rust issues too.

1tonblaze · 05-03-2009, 08:14 PM

yeah needs some new sheet metal rockers cab corners a floor pan ,two new fenders and a bed and tailgate to make it really nice . got the water pump off tonight the whole reason i got it so cheep becuase someone couldnt figure out why it was throwing the belts off all the time . the fan is bent and so is the water pump pulley and the peice on the water pump the fan and pulley mount to was broken off the shaft . cheep fix to getting it runing and driving again . any one know what rears they stick in these trucks when it is not a 14bolt ff ?

84lwb · 05-03-2009, 08:26 PM

sounds like it has more rust than the pics show. I thought all 3/4 and 1 tons had 14 bolt ff in them,I'd be interested in that answer too!

**old Rusty C10** · 05-03-2009, 09:31 PM

if you search the classifieds i think one of our members here has a bed in decent shape for it used in nj

1tonblaze · 05-03-2009, 10:01 PM

no some had 14 bolt ff if they where heavy duty and some had a light duty rear . if i can get a hold of a 14 bolt for cheep it might end up in there

**N2TRUX** · 05-03-2009, 11:23 PM

I'm thinking you stole it...

1tonblaze · 05-04-2009, 07:11 AM
