I have an idea but I'll wait for Neptune first. |

1981-1987 also, i think this is a 3500. -- Last edit: 2011-07-02 21:16:24 |

mr_dellorto, we'll wait for our resident expert. Your information is a bit off. |

Well, from what I can deduce, this is a Chevrolet 3500 product, as per the badge length. This is also a stepside version, as shown by the bed. Any more shots of the front? I can't establish a year unless I see the front of the truck, but I can tell that it is between the 1981-1987 model years. |

It’s a 1981-1985 Chevrolet C-30 Fleetside Big Dooley in YE9 upper first class trim: known as the top-of-the-line Silverado. If it were GMC, the Sierra Classic trim level name would be stacked. "Sierra" would sit atop "Classic". Again, it was not very common for a Silverado or Sierra Classic pickup or utility to be used as a "work" vehicle, even though the hardware to do so was still there. Generally they entered laborious work after being purchased secondhand, as they were much more affordable. |

Dependable as usual .gif ":)") What would eliminate the 1986-1988 model years as possibilities? |
|

Oh, I made a typo, that "5" should be a "6". But to answer your question, it has black-on-chrome windshield trim, which eliminates a '87-'88. Starting with '87 models, windshield and back glass trim was black-on-black, no matter the trim level package. |

Interesting, thank you. |

What screwed me up is if you look in the thumbnail the badge looks a lot more like the font GMC used for Sierra but I knew it wasn't a base model. I am still not convinced it says Silverado. |

Well it's a Silverado because of the overall appearance, not just the name badge. It has all the proper chrome trim, paint job, etc. |

don't get me wrong, I don't doubt Neptune's assessment of the trim, (I thought the same thing). It would not be the first time that a vehicle had the incorrect badges applied though. |

Always a possibility although I think the chances are pretty low here especially. The truck actually looks quite remarkable for its age and there is no visible damage. It looks absolutely mint. |

well hopefully Taco created some more captures of it, looking at it on youtube there are a few shots of the emblem without the actors standing in front of it. (also a side shot of the front end although I don't know if it would tell us anything) I was wrong though as it is 100% a Chevrolet emblem (but I still think it *could say Scottsdale). I can't tell with the low-quality image on youtube though. |

I already returned that video back to Blockbuster. Sorry.  |

Yes you do, and that hurts tonka, it really hurts. I don’t think I’ll ever be able to recover from the emotional shock you have subjected me too. I hope your happy...  |

lol @Neptune, no there is one thing that I am certain of and it is that you know your rounded lines (probably better than GM) |
