personally i consider 80's to be one of the worst decades for any vehicle.
emissions had become a big concern. but things like computers and fuel injection had not come out to battle emissions while still allowing power to be made.
early 70s or older and emissions werent a concern. 90s and newer they had computers and fuel injection to overcome the power lost elsewhere.
trucks do have somewhat of an exception. smog is broken into levels based on Gross Vehicle Weight Ratings.
get a heavy enough truck and smog expectactions drop.
i had a 78 chevy c30 camper special with a 454 in it. with its 9,000 lb GVWR it was over the 8,501 mark and emissions equipment was nothing but an A.I.R. system.
thats just one extra belt running one little air pump to put some extra oxygen into the exhuast pipes. and since the diverter valve had failed and did not divert when throttle was released it gave me that sweet popping sound when i let off the throttle.
chevy is indeed an excellent choice. especially for trucks. they are the proven most reliable trucks on the road.
i bought my '78 with 130k on it, put 40 more, sold it to a buddy. it has 280k and is still going strong. i frankly wish i had never sold it....
but my '00 chevy truck has been just as reliable and gets twice the miles per gallon and doesnt need supreme gas either.....Explanation of everything about trucks?
You could pick up a Chilton's or Haynes manual from a local auto parts store.
Also take a look at YouTube. Lots of amateur mechanics put up videos on how to perform various maintenance tasks on particular models.Explanation of everything about trucks?
They're the best built, longest lasting trucks on the road.
What more do you need to know.
Like the other guy said, buy a truck, then a repair manual to go with it.
