Re: How about some pics of 73-87 Long Beds?
AHHHH poop! I see what your saying. You mean the stainless trim has been switched left to right. WOW such a small change makes the entire grill look weird and Much cooler at the same time!
GMC's Confuse me I guess.

Re: How about some pics of 73-87 Long Beds?
My most missed vehicle I've ever sold...
87 GMC K3500HD I was a railroad truck that I got from the second owner. He purchased it from the RR where he worked. It was his truck and when it was time to replace it, he got it from the RR. It was immaculate! It had the HD 6.2, with a T475 trans and a NP205. Cool thing, it never came with a factory tow package (pretty unusual for a 1 ton)   I don't have any pics of it before some idiot stole my GMC grill...

Re: How about some pics of 73-87 Long Beds?
Hello. I am new to the site and to working on these trucks. I'm glad I found a place to discuss these great trucks. Below are some pictures of a 1986 GMC Classic 2500 that I picked up recently. I will be getting to work on the brakes this weekend as it needs a new master cylinder. Let me know what you think of this one. If anyone has any idea what the rims are on this truck and if they actually came on this type of truck I would appreciate you telling me a little about them. Thanks.

The rims are off the General Lee. They definitely did not come on your truck. Seriously, i think all these came with were white 6" wide wheels and dog bowl hubcaps. I have put the later model (88-98) ralleys on and they look good.

Re: How about some pics of 73-87 Long Beds?
We had a little car show at work today so I cleaned up the truck and brought it in. Its finally starting to clean up well after sitting for so long. Need to find some new trim pieces (wheel well, body, windshield/trim) and get some newer wheels and larger tires eventually.
    Engine bay looks a TON better than it did just a couple months ago (this was the before picture):

Re: How about some pics of 73-87 Long Beds?
That is a sweet truck! The only thing I'd do to it is replace the cab mount bushings, those wheels and tires look perfect on there!

Re: How about some pics of 73-87 Long Beds?
If you do get new rims, keep those original ones because there in excellent shape and to buy a set that are mint are not cheap and there hard to find nowadays.
Nice truck though... Is that a matching numbers truck?? David Posted via Mobile Device

Re: How about some pics of 73-87 Long Beds?
Just inherited my grandpas truck. Grandma doesnt really drive it much after my grandpa passed away about 8 years ago so I finally got it. He bought it brand new in 87. It has 262,000 miles on the original engine and tranny. Neither have ever been rebuilt. It made the 3 and a half hour drive to my house with no problems. I was hoping that after washing it and trying some NU FINISH on it then it would shine up but no luck. And yes I plan on taking the camper off.
