Just got this one yesterday. Its a 1997 with a 4.3L and a 5 speed. Needs a few minor things like a pass mirror, a new belt, a couple bulbs.Also need some center caps for these wheels. Anyone know how many cat converters this truck suppossed to have, this one has none.LOL. The plan is to swap in a 350 or maybe a 4.8L. Really want to do the 350 swap. What all would I need besides the motor? Would it bolt up to the 5 speed. Who knows about the harness, I quess I would need a 5.7 harness and computer right? Makes my 04 seem really fast. My wife wants me to sell the 85 now, but my son says thats his truck.

 

Awesome truck man. Personally I would do the 4.8L swap.

 

97's only had 1 cat.

I always liked that color, wish they would offer it on the new trucks.

 

Thanks for the info. I love the color too, I have to fix a few small dings and chips in it.
