Re: tilly to the rescue
Well, the new gal had me at bumper guards........
I see she is on Colorado plates. Great looking so far, and that you drove her home from OK ?? That's pretty cool.

Re: tilly to the rescue
Ex-Custom Camper truck. Must've lead another, more scenic life at one point. Any history on it?
PS: No, the orange engine is not correct.

Re: tilly to the rescue
I'm thinking that the listing for "Engine Conversion" might explain the orange engine. Even though it shows the truck as having originally came from the factory with a 327, the engine in it may not be the original engine. Checking the suffix code on the block would verify that.
I suppose that it is also possible that the dealer pulled the original engine, made some changes to it at the customers request and reinstalled the engine after a paint job. I'm just not sure what the "Engine Conversion" would entail.

Re: tilly to the rescue
I am asking more than adding a comment about the engine conversion.
Since the SPID notes the "Z20EA Engine Conversion", would that mean that it was done at the factory and not at the dealer? Or were the SPID's applied by the dealer back then? Could the Z20EA option be dealer installed parts that were shipped with the truck from the factory? Let us know what you find out on this....

I believe the "Engine Conversion" refers to emission equipment applied at the factory for CA trucks.
