Usually on the 60-66 side, but picked this up the other day. '87 LWB, 350 FI/400 Turbo.

Wow , very nice Rig .

Re: Joined the Square Body Club
 

Don't want to hijack this thread, but does anyone know what year those outside mirrors were an option? As far back as '74?

Re: Joined the Square Body Club
 

They were a 80's option. I think starting in 81 is it with the new front sheet metal.

Either nice truck is am jelly

Re: Joined the Square Body Club
 

Man! Sweet truck!

Re: Joined the Square Body Club
 

I Think that they started in 1980 but I could be wrong.

Re: Joined the Square Body Club
 

Nice truck

and yeah the mirror option was 80 or 81 for what I call the elephant ear mirrors.

What's up with the bucket seats? SPID?

Re: Joined the Square Body Club
 

Not OEM. Believe they are '77 back low back buckets. Going to switch to a bench.

Re: Joined the Square Body Club
 

My '80 C30 came with those b.e. mirrors.

Sharp rig!

Re: Joined the Square Body Club
 

Nice!!!

Re: Joined the Square Body Club
 

Interesting bucket setup, and agree, not original. The seat bottom shape looks like the 73-77 low back style but the seat back shape looks more like 69-72 style. But who knows. You will probably make some decent money swapping to bench if you sell the buckets. (I'd keep em, but that's just me, I like buckets :)) Great find, looks like a real nice truck, enjoy!

Re: Joined the Square Body Club
 

Dropped off bench seat today to get up holstered. Going with this combo.

Re: Joined the Square Body Club
 

Got seat back. Hopefully will get it installed this weekend.

Re: Joined the Square Body Club
 

Looks GREAT, especially in a white truck.

Re: Joined the Square Body Club
 

That came out very nice!

Re: Joined the Square Body Club
 

That is a really nice pickup!

Is it a 3/4 ton ??? Looks like it based on the tire size.

87 2500 350/fi 400th

Re: Joined the Square Body Club
 

Well, I just hope you're not planning to convert it to a 5 hole and lower it ;)

Re: Joined the Square Body Club
 

Nooo.... this is a work type truck. Will have a slim toolbox in the bed. Bench seat and no carpet.

Re: Joined the Square Body Club
 

Got seat installed

Re: Joined the Square Body Club
 

Very nice. That seat looks super clean!

Re: Joined the Square Body Club
 

lurk......

Re: Joined the Square Body Club
 

Nice!

Re: Joined the Square Body Club
 

These should brighten things up.

Re: Joined the Square Body Club
 

That should shed some light on the subject! :lol:

Re: Joined the Square Body Club
 

Great looking truck and I like what you chose for the seat. Looks like it will wear well too. If you weren't so far across the country I'd see if I could help you out with those seats, and even the carpet. Will you be using the truck for a business or is it for around the house kinda work? Jealous.

Re: Joined the Square Body Club
 

Seat is in and the carpet removed and OEM rubber mat installed. Its a work truck.

Re: Joined the Square Body Club
 

You may have been thinking that I was literally offering to help you with the bucket seats and carpet. First of all, I doubt you need my help ;) Second, by helping, I meant I would be happy to buy the seats and carpet/take them off your hands. I typically have a purpose in mind when I am putting a truck together -- mentally or actually -- and have no issue with you wanting to make yours utilitarian. Only question I meant to ask is if you use it for a business or around-the-house work items.

Re: Joined the Square Body Club
 

Understand. Never meant to be a FS thread. Going to take the seats and carpet to Maggie Valley C10 Show the end of September. Will list them properly in a For Sale thread if comes to that. As far as using it as a "work truck", I work for the TN Dept of Childrens Services and buy/sell 60-66 parts on the side. It's my stress reliever. Do about half a dozen swap meets or so a year. The 87 helps me out...

Re: Joined the Square Body Club
 

Nice setup!

Re: Joined the Square Body Club
 

I agree! Sounds like the 87 will be well suited to handle your tasks.

Re: Joined the Square Body Club
 

Snow today.
