My new truck arrived today
I finally received my new to me 87 SWB Silverado this afternoon. It's a white fleetside with a shot 350 tbi, dirty maroon interior, A/C, dual tanks, cruise, and front swaybar.
It spent its life as a utility company service truck in Alabama, so it has some dents but NO RUST. I can't believe how clean southern trucks are. The only excitement was when the steering rag joint broke as we were pushing it off the trailer. After I repaired the rag joint, I noticed the steering box is not in alignment with the column. I assume this means the frame is bent between the crossmember and the bumper. It looks like I will be doing a body swap and not a motor swap with this and my rusty stepper. I'll try to get a few pics posted soon. |

I don't know. I bought the truck from a guy in Muscle Shoals who runs a towing business. He had it listed on Ebay. I have his contact information at work, I can send it to you if you're interested. The title on the truck shows it was owned by "City of Sheffield Power Water & Gas Dept, POB 580 600 Montg Av, Sheffield AL 35660.
It has a fair number of dents, but I can't believe how clean the body and chassis are as far as rust. A fat guy must have driven it, the foam in the seat is worn down to the springs ![]() |
