Orange 87 swb in the current issue of Truckin
In the current issue of Truckin magazine (volume 32, No 3 '06) there is coverage of the 2005 Scrapin The Coast show in Biloxi, Mississippi. There is a pic of a slammed orange 87. The tailgate handle has been shaved, yet the tailgate trim matches the original trim, but without the notch for the tailgate handle. Anybody know where to get this trim piece?

Never mind, I found it on Chevy Duty's web-site. Wish I could find a pic of the truck to post, because it's damn nice.

Re: Orange 87 swb in the current issue of Truckin
Is this the truck? I'm to lazy to go find the Truckin but I'm pretty sure you are talking about Cory's truck.

Re: Orange 87 swb in the current issue of Truckin
Nice truck but I agree with some of you I would lose the big mirrors.

Re: Orange 87 swb in the current issue of Truckin
I took off my sport mirrors and replaced them with the dumbo mirrors before I had my truck painted. I like them.

JUST A THOUGHT, BUT IF HE WAS ABLE TO COLOR MATCH THE HOOD AND TAIL GATE WHY NOT REMOVE THE "DUMBO'S" REPLACE,OR SHAVE AND COLOR MATCH THE DOORS? my 2 cents

I've owned 5 Chevrolet trucks in that color (think I like it?). A '79 K10, '80 C10, '82 Crewcab, '84 C10 (my current ride), and a '97 Crewcab. I thought about ordering a new truck this year and the color is still available. |

Re: Orange 87 swb in the current issue of Truckin
Love That Truck. I See It Almost Every Month In One Mag Or Another. Always In The Show Coverage Section. This Guy Must Do The Show Circuit. Once Again Love The "mostly Stock" Look, Slammed To The Ground.

Re: Orange 87 swb in the current issue of Truckin
Really nice truck and great frame work. Not for me though.
I use my truck from time to time to haul a trailer so I need the mirrors. I have the sport mirrors but didn't fit it even from the factory. Now that they're on Swervin's truck they fit his.
