It looks like a bunch of Sqrs are being built. I still have a chance to get one. Checked it out last night.

Its an 87 cab and chasis with a bed. it has a small block, what tranny would be in that thing?

TH400 most likely. I don't think the 4L80E came into play until '89 or '90.

^^^Good point. I was making the assumption it was an auto. The SM465 is a defintate if it's a manual. The NV4500 wasn't used in the 1-tons until '92 (shatnerbox crew cab era), IIRC.

4L80E hit the scene for '91 just FYI suckaz

If it's a manual, easiest way to ID the SM465 is it has those twin PTO covers, one on each side, look the same.

Throttle body 350? 210 HP. Torquey, but low HP.
