    I've read the RPO codes in the glove box and it is what I expected, the truck was originally a red fleetside SRW! This also says its a MM4 which is the sm465 gearbox.

    If I didn't have a family farm here I'd be moving straight out to the states! Fortunately I have some pretty friendly MOT testing friends, so as long as I make it look pretty good the emissions side of things shouldn't really matter!

    It's an '89! I live in the middle rural Derbyshire. The dash is for an automatic, but its a manual 4 speed truck, I think a sm465? I'm in the middle of putting an engine back into my 1996 Nissan Patrol (my daily) hopefully by next weekend I'll bring the Chevy down into my workshop to start...

    So here it is, I was sitting on the couch drink beer when I saw this come up on Facebook market place. Before I even looked up from my phone I'd blindy dropped a 2500$ deposit on a truck that was 4000 miles away from me in Nebraska. 6 months later I drove up to fetch it from the importing agent...
