The 1984 GMC C/K Brochure (http://www.thedieselpage.com/article/1984brochurec.htm)
The 1984 model year was a good one for General Motors despite the upheaval in the petroleum industry and a doubling of diesel fuel prices in the late 1970s and early 1980s. By 1984, the new 6.2L V-8 diesel engine had already been available for two full years, and reports were generally favorable. Buyers who needed a full-size pickup truck jumped at the opportunity to buy a GM model that offered twice the fuel economy of the carbureted gas 305 V-8. To see how it all began, let's have a look at a vintage 1984 GMC C/K Pickup brochure that illustrates what the General was offering new truck buyers back in the day.
