I have a buyer if you want to part with it. Let me know

Re: 1987 C10 SWB 34K miles...

Excellent looking truck! Hope I get to see it closer at CTC.

Re: 1987 C10 SWB 34K miles...

That's beautiful, looks like it needs nothing.

Re: 1987 C10 SWB 34K miles...

Nice rig, good one to buy!

... not a fan of the stance but that’s just me.

Re: 1987 C10 SWB 34K miles...

One clean truck. Bet the OE owner will regret letting it go. Looks like my 84 except mine is all red and stock height.

Thanks! That would be nice Bill. Been a long time since I've had something nice to bring over there.

Very little. The rear gears were changed so I've got to change the gear in the transmission to get the speedo to read correctly. I also need to change the tank selector valve so that I have access to both tanks, but other than that, it is a dream to ride!

Thank you! LOL, I understand what you are saying. I probably wouldn't have went quite as low, but nothing has been cut, so I can reverse that pretty easily if I choose.

Thanks! The original owner passed in 2010, he was 87 I believe. He was a long haul truck driver, so the truck didn't get driven much. The truck was purchase from his son (he's 76) and was happy to see it go to a good home. These 2 items were found in the one of the side pockets, :metal:. The GMAC key chain is also pretty cool!

Re: 1987 C10 SWB 34K miles...

Fixed the speedo issue this weekend, now the speedometer is dead on, :metal:. Currently working on an issue with the dual tanks. Both tanks and pumps work correctly, but the gauge doesn't read correctly when it's in the RH position. I'm sure it's something simple like a ground. Hopefully will get it tracked down soon, :metal:.

Re: 1987 C10 SWB 34K miles...

That's one very nice truck, good score.

Im wondering how many of those GMAC key chains actually worked. I lost mine in the early nineties and it never found its way back to me, like it says on the other side.

Re: 1987 C10 SWB 34K miles...

Thanks! Good question on the keys, I hope I don't have to find out, :lol:.

That has to be the cleanest original truck out there.
