- 4.3l oem 5.7l swap
Hi everyone, I am new to the forum. My grandfather had a couple 1980's c-10 when i was roughly 2 years old, ever since I have loved these trucks. For my 20th birthday I bought myself a 1985 c-10. 175 000 km, origional paint, next to no rust (up here in Quebec with our winters this is unheard of), standard cab long bed. It is static dropped 5-6, on 18" iroc-z replica wheels. My daily driver. It was aparently a fireman's service truck for roughly twenty years in a national park. I was wondering if i could get some of your help. This is like i said a 1985 c10. What is unique about it is that it has a 4.3l v6 (first year that they were introduced), carburetor (4.3l v6's had carburetors only from 1985-1986 before injection), it is 3 speed manual column shift (i believe that 1985 is the last year for column shift but im not sure) and to top it all off it is a bright orange! Original paint! So obviously this truck with all its aspects is pretty rare I would assume, what i would like to know is; Is there anyone on this forum that could help me figure out how rare it really is? thanks!
On a second note I am swapping the 4.3l out of it this weekend for a 2nd gen sbc and have a set of hedman 68290 headers does anyone know if these headers will work? They are for a 1970's chevelle Thanks in advance!
