    84 Chevy P30??? Anyone know anything??

    So that's the thing, I dont think I'll be able to see the block casting number prior to desmantling the truck just because of how deep in there the engine is. Access is very limited from what I've researched. But where can I find a guide on how to read the casting number to check if its a 4...

    84 Chevy P30??? Anyone know anything??

    I actually don't know what an overdrive unit is. I know what overdrive is and does in a transmission, but I've never heard of an overdrive unit. But yes my plan is to part put the drivetrain and just junk the body. Sent from my Moto Z (2) using Tapatalk

    84 Chevy P30??? Anyone know anything??

    Great transmission? What would be in that thing? I would like to go 6 speed manual in my truck. Like a t56 from an Fbody. But I havnt decided on that yet because im not sure if the gear ratios will line up with the 454's power curve. So I was thinking I'd just junk the transmission along with...

    84 Chevy P30??? Anyone know anything??

    Thank you for clearing that! And I'm guessing that the chances of a 2 bolt being put to work an RV aren't likely... Itd be nice to make sure. Sent from my Moto Z (2) using Tapatalk

    84 Chevy P30??? Anyone know anything??

    Eventually in my 84 C10 project, but there's a lot i gotta do before then. I want a motor already so i can put it on a stand and start buying parts and putting it together. If i may ask, how do you know its a 4 bolt? And how can I find out what cubes it is? I know it'll be stamped on the block...

    So I wanted to add this pic to my thread. I don't know whose truck this is, it's just an picture off instagram. But this is what I'm shooting for as far as how low I want to go. I want to do a static drop. I'm not crazy about air bags, or hydraulics even though I respect every enthusiasts likes...

    Grille Differences

    So to do a swap I'd need a 85+ silverado radiator support bracket, grille WITH the running light brackets and the 4 lamp bezels. About the wiring harness, do I really need the harness or can I just run wires off the other lamps to power the other headlamps? And run wires from the side markers to...

    Well owner said the tittle says 84. So its either an 83 manufactured as 84 model or 1984. I tried to buy the truck from him but the guy would hear nothing of it. Refused to even listen to an offer. Sent from my Moto Z (2) using Tapatalk

    Hello, everyone! So today I bumped into my trucks almost identical cousin. Except this truck was shortbed and it was a Silverado vs my scottsdale. So now I finally have some pictures to ask about grille differences. What makes my grille (1984 C10 Scottsdale longbed) and his (1984 C10 Silverado)...
