87!!! just cause I like the fenders better in the front.

stan79chevy 10-17-2003 09:39 PM

i like round headlights
 
also a cowl hood looks better on a 73-80

1FaastC10 10-17-2003 09:45 PM

anybody wanna guess what i'm partial to?

1985K10 10-17-2003 10:27 PM

77. Fenders are cool, and cowl hood looks better than the 87 style.

N2TRUX 10-17-2003 10:32 PM

Tough call, since I love them both. It's hard to beat the clasic looks of the round headlight trucks. On the other hand the square body trucks look tough, and usually have more amenities.

What condition are the trucks in?:confused:

BaggedC10 10-17-2003 10:42 PM

Go w/ the 1987! :D Mine has 80,000 original miles and runs awesome. Very smooth, OK performance, and there isn't much under the hood. :cool:

Stupid question but is there ANY difference between 86' and 87' fenders/inner fenders? I seem to remember the PN being different. :confused:

old Rusty C10 10-17-2003 10:59 PM

i got a parts 76 truck and a ton of parts come buy that and lol keep em all lol

1974ChevyC10 10-17-2003 11:15 PM

keep the 77 the front ends look better especially the round headlights

BigRed 10-17-2003 11:30 PM

If it is going to be a custom truck, I'd go with the 70s look. However, it is going to be a daily driver, I'd go with the 80s.

soleeagle 10-18-2003 12:11 AM

Go with the 87 and just ditch all the crap under the hood that isnt needed. The 81 to 87 just looks beter IMO. I have both styles and just use my 80 as a work-beater truck.

chevychic 10-18-2003 12:37 AM

I'm partial to 86 :D

So I say go with the 87 :burnout:

87 STEPPER 10-18-2003 01:55 AM

Uhhhh,

That's a no brainer newer is better '87

Take the best of both and combine them into the newer truck mix and match.

77bowtie 10-18-2003 10:53 AM

I'd rather have a 77 than an 87 any day. Oh yeah..I do have one, lol.

NoLegs 10-18-2003 11:46 AM

I like the older round headlights too, I say '77.

1FaastC10 10-18-2003 01:00 PM

BaggedC10, there must be something different in the innder fenders between 81-85 and 87s, because every 86 i have seen the innder fenders are absolutely toasted, front and rear. with the 81-85 and 87 trucks, they dont seem to rust as bad.

beeroh 10-18-2003 05:49 PM

the eighties look much better, they look more like a truck rather then a big car.

and the eighties are less prone to rust.

77:metal:

TODDS 72 10-18-2003 06:11 PM

How can you NOT love a face like this (except for the broken grill of course) :D

swervin ervin 10-18-2003 06:47 PM

I think square headlights look better. I like the hood and cowl a ton better on 81-87's. I never did like the way the hood goes all the way to the windsheild.

I say get the 87. There was never a nicer looking truck than a 87 Silverado. IMO. :)

Tom 10-18-2003 07:00 PM

The front ends on the 80's trucks can take the phantom grill, which Im completley jelous of, but the 73-80's are just so much better :D

crackajacka 10-18-2003 11:47 PM

87
