How rare is this 1987 Silverado? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I found an 87 swb stepside two wheel drive with a 350 tbi, factory 4-speed manual transmission, silverado package with all the power options,factory ac, pw, pdl, tilt, cruise, cargo light, dual tanks. I've never seen one with a 4-speed tranny before and just wondering how rare and desireable this truck would be?

I might call it unusual, but I don't think any '87 models are considered rare. I doubt it is worth any more than any other similarly optioned truck of the same year.

I wish I had a manual transmission...

In the near term, at least, and in the eyes of most buyers, this truck might not be rare enough to fetch a higher price than the same truck equipped with an automatic. But it would, at the very least, be a very neat conversation piece! The novelty of a fully loaded '87 350 FI shortbox with factory 4 speed would be enough that I would personally love to have it, and might be willing to pay some kind of premium for it.

I have a four speed silverado. I bought it from the origional owner who told me that he had to wait over six months after he special ordered it to get it. I don't know if it's rare, but it is uncommon.

Does it have overdrive?

There is one for sale up the road from me. Not a Silverado I don't think, but it's a TBI 305 with a 4 speed. Plane Jain and I like it. Clean gut, pretty clean overall for the year and the region. GM didn't make a 5 speed in trucks those years, not till the NBS.

Sounds neat enought that is for sure. I seen a couple of '87's that were 4WD and have a four speed.
