Ford_Guy ◊ 2011-06-24 04:12	Appears to have the 1981-1982 grille.

tonkatracker ◊ 2011-06-25 00:52	aren't those GMC hubcaps as well?
Ford_Guy ◊ 2011-06-25 00:57	Those are Chevrolet hubcaps. GMC's did not have the middle filled in black.
tonkatracker ◊ 2011-06-25 01:04	ah okay I had these older hubcaps mixed up with the newer ones (where the GMC ones were filled in black, like the Savana and Sierra)

The axle hubs are auto locked to the drive axle when the vehicle is shifted into four-wheel drive. To unlock the hubs the vehicle needed to be shifted back into two-wheel drive, and reversed up to 10 feet.
