2010 UPDATES:

Added just a couple small things.  First up is a neat little article on the Hickey equipped Rockford Files truck, and the other is a 1979 postcard to go along with the rest I have collected somewhat recently.  Click the thumbnail below to be taken to the page they reside on.

Just picked up a couple new GMC Indy Hauler items, they can be seen with the rest of the Indy Hauler info I have collected over the years.

Added a bunch of tech articles to the garage section, from some older and recent issues of Truckin' and Custom Classic Trucks.  I also added a couple 73-87 related aftermarket ads, and a Dick Butkus/Suburban TV series article.  Click the thumbnails below to be taken to each of them.

Ever hear of the Game Monster Truck Madness 2?  If so, wouldn't it be even cooler of you could drive a 73-87 of your choice in it?  If you are still reading and want to know more, head over to the Novelties section to see how.  Heck, even if gaming isn't your thing, head over there anyhow for more neat 73-87 stuff to drool over.  Special thanks to Kevin Muhs for sharing this with myself (and us)!

You don't see Indy Haulers every day, luckily a visitor of the site does...as he sent me photos of his '75 and scans of the GM issued press kit too.  Click here to see and hear more about this extremely rare truck.

Sport and Street Coupe owner Alex Millar of Alberta Canada sent me some neat 1980 and 1981 Chevrolet Sport scans.  I have added them to the Special Editions section for everyone else to see.  Thank you very much Alex!  If you would like to see Alex's trucks, head on over to the readers ride section or click the thumbnail of either truck below to be taken directly to his page.

Ever hear of a 1976 Olympic Edition?  Well, unless you live in Canada, you likely haven't.  To commemorate the 1976 Olympic, GM produced what was called the Olympic Edition.  A great guy named Everett Babin of New-Brunswick Canada sent me some photos and documentation of his truck.  To learn more click on any of the thumbnails below to be taken to the Special Edition page.  If you still want to see more of Everett truck, head over to You Tube and see what comes up when you search for "Olympic Edition GMC burnout"!

FOR SALE
If you would like to upgrade the speakers in your truck, this might interest you.  I have somewhat recently begun making cab corner 6x9 speaker brackets for all 73-87 GM trucks, and 88-91 crew cabs.  These brackets are made of heavy duty 16 gauge steel, and fit perfectly in the cab corners...even with the bench seat all the way back.  Due to space limitations, only speakers with a 3 1/4" magnet and smaller will fit.  You can get the larger magnet speakers to fit with the use of spacers (which I do not make or sell), they can be found on eBay and at most car stereo shops/stores.  I have sold over 125 sets of these brackets so far, and have had ZERO negative feedback on them, only positive!  I have spent a lot of time developing and making these, and take a great deal of pride in them.  If you are interested, or just want to learn more and see some pictures and customer feedback, head on over to 67-72chevytrucks.com and take a look.  I also have pictures of them installed in my '73 right here on the 'site, click here to see them.  If you are still reading this, and are interested in purchasing a set, send an E-mail to jdrew@73-87.com and let me know.  The price, including shipping to anywhere in the continental US, is $63 to your door.  Instructions and mounting hardware are included.  I have a limited number of sets available, so don't wait too long.

Lately I have been receiving numerous E-mails requesting help decoding all sorts of engines and transmissions.   Unfortunately I do not own any engine or transmission suffix books, but I can however tell you where to begin your search.  Visit Mortec.com, there is a ton of information on their site pertaining to Chevrolet engines, and more than likely you will find what you are looking for there.  If that doesn't answer your question, please visit any of the sites below, all are filled with owners of these trucks (and older), someone is bound to know there.  My screen name is bigblock73 on all four, stop by and say hi.
