Looks to be a fairly typical shortbed example. The Silverado package isn't rare, but certainly a plus.

Re: spid - anything special?

maybe not "rare" but still cool it has a locking diff, but the 2.73 ratio kinda sucks.

131 inch wheelbase is no shortbed.

You're right... I think I saw the 2.73 gears and assumed "shortbed". Most short-wheelbase C10's I've come across sported this gear but I guess it was wrong to assume.

Re: spid - anything special?

2.73 rear end gears means good highway mileage.

Re: spid - anything special?

The gov lock isn't bad for a stock motor, a 305 at that. If anything it stops the "bald right rear tire" syndrome.

Glide out spare tire carrier is nice too. Never used one but I assume it's a little more user friendly than the standard one.
