New in the NW
5 Attachment(s)
My '84 Scottsdale I rescued from Oregon on gotcha day. Picked this gem up last year after getting nostalgic for the '86 Silverado my dad let me drive to high school on occasion and seeing the SB Syndicate trucks.
Did my research and settled on an 81-86 2wd short. Might have cashed in my karma when I found this one. The frame appears to be mostly shiny black front to back under the dust. There was even an original set of GM spare keys taped up under it. The patina is barely getting started and it shines like near new. Mostly just light chips and stuff and I'm struggling to find evidence that it isn't original paint. Based on what I have garnered from the RPO codes it appears bone stock including the rub molding, possibly bolstering my original paint theory. |

Welcome to the truck board from central Iowa and beautiful short bed you have! That is a great find. You literally don't need to do much to that baby!

Re: New in the NW
Welcome neighbor. I really like that truck. Doesn't look patina'ed from here, looks like you have it shining nicely.

Congrats on finding such a clean unmolested truck! |

MySons68C20 you are near spittin distance away. We should plan a cruise to the Hot Rod Cafe in Monitor when I get the carb rebuilt this spring. Hell, even if you just need a hand with tinkering we’re close enough to figure out how we could help each other.

Re: New in the NW
I must report that today my hopes were dashed. I have found clear evidence it has been painted, albeit by a very, very good painter. Was hanging in the garage daydreaming of mods as one does and leaning on the bed my hand brushed a wire under the bed lip. Instantly I knew it was welding wire from the bulbous end. Grabbed a flashlight and got to snooping real deep and under the bed rail I see where they patched the holes from original bedrails. Closer inspection of the passenger jamb revealed a ridge of clear from a tape edge. Now again, this guy was real good and it has molding and the wear characteristics of being a vintage job. So, all in all I'm not mad just disappointed. Either way she looks good for her age and no one would hesitate to give her a second look at the light.
