Yep good ol GM they were recyclers before their time, they ran that body style what from 73 till 88 or so? Caching. Very slight changes but same basic body, frame, and most components. And actually the previous and next gens weren't a whole lot different.


The sheer beauty or Chevy trucks till about then. Interchangeability. What made them so popular, & why so many still survive.

A fair mechanic won't hit your wallet hard at all for a 134 upgrade. Had my 86 done a while back.
