I generally don't like trucks that are "extremely" Dropped and with huge wheels....But I must say the '87 is a rarity, it looks good doing it. Must be the fact that it looks mostly stock exterior wise. Most trucks that are done up like this have wild paint and body kits...which in my opinion start to ruin the look of a truck

Those are the only pictures I've found, sorry. I was supposed to go down and help put it back together a month or so ago but was busy.

The reason it has the dumbo mirrors and all the trim is he bought it like that. It is a low mileage original truck and he's left the exterior stock (so far) except for the cowl hood....

I am no expert on the 81 up stuff...but i do not think that orange color is "stock".

I normally don't care for wheels over 19"...but that truck is really nice and looks just right.

Jeff, I may be wrong but I'm pretty positive it's a stock color. My GM color chart shows it as "tangier orange".

I talked to Cory (the owner) about the truck at TX Heatwave. He was telling me he had found a clean low mileage 85, and what his plans were for it. Since he is the owner of Kustom Werx, a custom paint shop, I don't think he would go through the trouble to do a color change without shaving everything.

Compare it to his blue 1500HD daily driver in the background of the pics above, or one of his previous trucks below.....
