87 Chevy Silverado Lifetime Find - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

PTS · 04-06-2006, 08:22 PM

I found a original solid Red w/ dk Gray interior 1987 Chevy SWB 5.7 F.I. Silverado P.U. The truck has only 33 miles on the od. The man that bought the truck drove it home, lowered the truck, installed Centerline wheels and parked it in 1987. The truck is verfiable and still has the plastic on the seats. I will post pics soon...

The only change will be a set of Billet Specialties Vintecs w/ knockoffs 18" or 20".

How sweet! I would love to see the pics!

What are your plans for it?

PTS · 04-06-2006, 09:57 PM

I will first see how it was lowered and knowing this family it was done right at that time. I will not hack the truck to do airide. I will do a stagger 18"/20" Billet wheel setup and install a Magnaflow Exhaust Sytem. That will be it!

I say that all the time. Next thing you know the truck is in 1000 pieces!

f.monroe · 04-07-2006, 12:07 AM

Forget what you paid for it .... How much do you want for it ? Really ! I might be interested .Frank

PTS · 04-07-2006, 12:09 AM

Actually I have known about this truck for a long time. I overpayed for it but what the heck! It will definitely grow in value. Hey on your Black Truck what size wheels and tires did you use and what backspace? I will have this truck at Goodguys in Ft Worth.

Perry

PTS · 04-07-2006, 12:12 AM

To buy the truck would be over 25k. If you are interested any further PM me and we will talk.

They are 20x8 front and 20x9.5 rear. The tires are 245/40/20 and 295/40/20 BFG G Force KDW. I went with BFG KDW tires because I wanted some sidewall in the front. They are over priced but it was all I could find at the time that had a 40 series for the front and a matching tire for the rear.

Perry

plan on putting it in the car corral? cuz it WILL NOT go anywhere else... they are VERY ANAL about the year thing.... 72 and older

79BIG10 · 04-06-2006, 10:47 PM

I got to know how much you paid for this find of a lifetime!! What a score!!

PTS · 04-06-2006, 11:46 PM

Too Much!!!

**N2TRUX** · 04-06-2006, 11:50 PM

Perry you suck! How do you always manage to find stuff like this? I guess it helps that you are always looking

Don't be shy, bag it. You don't have to hack the bed, just a mild c-notch will do just fine.

WOW!
yeah, keep it a static drop for sure. I can't wait to see pics

bojoe · 04-08-2006, 01:40 PM

Sounds like a sweet truck can't what to see pics of it.

I can't remember what year it is, but a friend of mines mom has silverado 1/2 ton that is perfect with less than 20000 miles on it. It is a '85 to '87 is all I remember. She will never get rid of it as long as she is alive.

n2billet · 04-08-2006, 11:22 PM

Perry, Send it to Dallas and let me bag that puppy! I promise I can do it and not hack it up....... take a look at Ken's. We did his and it's clean, simple and hidden......

Jonboy · 04-10-2006, 09:56 AM

Sounds sweet. When is Goodguys in Fort Worth?

Chevrolet4x4s · 04-22-2006, 06:50 PM

Not to tell you what to do but if it only has 33 original miles on it make it stock and put it in a big ol plastic bubble(its a shame to not be driven but look a little into the future)when some one gets one to restore at a later time. Imagine how nice it would be to have a factory correct one with every thing in the correct place.They could drop by Perry's garage put on the biohazard suit so that they don't get any foregin opjects on or near it

I would also like to see pics, I thought that any thing below 200000 miles was lowmilage for these trucks

guess I was mistaken.

Ric83 · 04-26-2006, 03:18 PM
