Orange 87 swb in the current issue of Truckin - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Bri87swb · 01-26-2006, 02:24 AM

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?

Bri87swb · 01-26-2006, 02:30 AM

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.

74Chevy74 · 01-26-2006, 03:22 AM

Yes the truck is very nice, just looked it up. I'd like to know how he got the front that low, either he Z'ed it or it has the crossmember mod...anyone know this guy????

bigarmzz · 01-26-2006, 09:15 AM

anyone got a link to see this thing?

(curiousity is killin me)

**N2TRUX** · 01-26-2006, 09:37 AM

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.

**N2TRUX** · 01-26-2006, 09:38 AM

If that's the one, then yes the frame is Z'ed

**N2TRUX** · 01-26-2006, 09:42 AM

Here's the frame-

That's it! Thanks for the additional pics. Hard to believe that's the original paint. IMO...It's got to be one of the nicest/cleanest original paint trucks on the road. Thanks again for the picks.

Nice truck but I agree with some of you I would lose the big mirrors.

Slonaker · 01-26-2006, 11:03 AM

Some of us like the Dumbo mirrors.

My last truck (not a Chevy...) had a set of small "sport mirrors." I couldn't see a damned thing out of them, and swore I would never have them again.

its just a personal preferrence thing....there def alot more practical as far as your field of vision....

but...on a lowered 2wd....they just look larger than life

they look good on a 4x4 though

LMAO i can see out of mine just fine with a mere glance. Dunno what y'all are talking 'boutl, callin' the sport mirrorrs useless.

Guess it's just preference.

hotrodhomi · 01-26-2006, 11:24 AM

I took off my sport mirrors and replaced them with the dumbo mirrors before I had my truck painted. I like them.

74Chevy74 · 01-26-2006, 01:25 PM

Hey N2TRUX do you know how big the frame Z is? 2" or 3"?

LOHRTBT · 01-26-2006, 01:29 PM

I hate teh look of the Dumbo mirrors...But love the functionality of them. I a removing my sport mirrors...DUH cant see a thing haha. And just fillin in the holes. I can turn my neck just as easily. Did it for 5 years in my old truck haha.

OH yeah... That truck is PHAT!!!

Jonboy · 01-26-2006, 03:19 PM

SCOTI · 01-26-2006, 10:23 PM

Jonboy, you have PM.

**N2TRUX** · 01-26-2006, 10:30 PM

7T7 here is the pic....

TEAM THC · 01-26-2006, 04:01 PM

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

LOHRTBT · 01-26-2006, 04:13 PM

Ken....They seriously offered that as a color in 87??? I have never seen one like it.

The color is Tangier Orange. Code 88 WA 9417

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.

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.

bowtiehotrodder · 01-26-2006, 05:15 PM

one nice truck

79BIG10 · 01-26-2006, 06:21 PM

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.
