Colorado/Canyon package build up

Dragsinger · 03-12-2020, 10:48 AM

I am curious if anyone is building a Colorado/Canyon package. I like the look and think it would be a good choice for GT or other classes. That body has been on the market long enough to be plentiful and inexpensive.

I'm not sure it's in the guide.

Very few trucks in the guide, Larry. GT/Truck says 1980 and older but no trucks in the '80 Guide. I looked up the GT/TB record and it's listed as 1980 Chevrolet. Might be off on the year here.Found an S10 listed but forgot the year. Your Super 10 was a '97 GT/TB. That's not in the Guide. How did you class it?

NHRA D 4 called it a 1996 and I installed a 96 grill. [best we could tell, that was the only difference]

Maybe Dwight will see this a comment

The Colorado 5.3 would be neat if in the guide

Chipper, that is my thought. A possible class racer and bracket racer built with most OE or bolt-on parts. I think it has the potential to be a reasonably priced build.

They didn't make a standard cab with the 5.3. Only ext cab and crew cab. Also they are pretty heavy.
