im thinking about buying a 1990 1500 Cheyenne V6 5spd. tomorrow, is it the same thing as the 1500 silverado? other than the front clip is there any difference? if i buy parts do i buy for a silverado? i was looking on summite and there wasnt anything for this truck, but there was ALOT for the silverado.. the guy said it was carburated and need's the injector's cleaned, so it has problems starting, would it be hard to convert it to a fuel injected lt1/6spd? is there a kit? sorry about all the question's, i just want to know all i can about it before i buy it.. THANK'S

one at a time:

-that year it is a K1500 (4wd) or C1500 (2wd) Silverado is the TRIM LEVEL...that one is Cheyenne TRIM LIVEL

-that said, there is no difference other than the trim level

-you buy parts for a K1500/C1500

-1990 is fuel injected, throttle body injection (TBI)

-conversions are expensive, it better be a nice truck to make it worth this, and the rest of the drivetrain may not handle the LT1

-buy a V8 truck if you really want a V8
