What transmission is in my 1988 3500?
My RPO codes: MM4: Transmission, Manual, 4-Speed (Merchandising Option); M20: Transmission, Manual, 4-Speed (Muncie). The transmission in the truck is a 5-speed; first gear does not feel nor sound like granny gear. My reference is the SM420 in my last truck (1966 C10) - first gear was a crawler...- rose359

Carrying Spare Tire for my 3500
I just purchased a reconditioned wheel and a used tire for a spare. My truck came from the previous owner less a spare tire, jack, lug wrench, and tire carrier. It appears to have room for a tire under the box, but nothing is present to hang it. I am OK carrying the tire in the box, but will...- rose359

Heater Blower and Blower Control
Heater blower did not function on the 1988 Scottsdale 3500 that I bought. This truck does not have A/C. I connected a 12 Volt power supply directly to the blower; it drew about 4 to 5 Amps and it sounded it like it was rotating slowly. So, I purchased and installed a new blower motor. While...- rose359

Holley 750 is Cold Blooded
I recently purchased a 1988 Scottsdale 3500 with a Holley 750 carburetor on a 454. The previous owner told me that the EFI was burned when he bought it. He put the Holley on an intake manifold from a 1966 396. He put in a new steel fuel tank, fuel lines, and high volume fuel pump. The choke is...- rose359

First GMT400 for me; 88 Scottsdale 3500
Introduction First GMT400 for me; 88 Scottsdale 3500 Since selling my 66 C10 in May, I was missing having a truck for random hauling tasks.
