Usually on the 60-66 side, but picked this up the other day. '87 LWB, 350 FI/400 Turbo.

Wow , very nice Rig .

frenchy51 · 02-19-2019, 12:01 AM

Don't want to hijack this thread, but does anyone know what year those outside mirrors were an option? As far back as '74?

Ziegelsteinfaust · 02-19-2019, 12:11 AM

They were a 80's option. I think starting in 81 is it with the new front sheet metal.

Either nice truck is am jelly

I Think that they started in 1980 but I could be wrong.

**Palf70Step** · 02-19-2019, 06:53 AM

Nice truck

and yeah the mirror option was 80 or 81 for what I call the elephant ear mirrors.

What's up with the bucket seats? SPID?

**DPowers** · 02-19-2019, 10:08 PM

Not OEM. Believe they are '77 back low back buckets. Going to switch to a bench.

fordguy40 · 02-19-2019, 11:01 PM

My '80 C30 came with those b.e. mirrors.

Sharp rig!

**TKCR** · 02-23-2019, 09:13 AM

Interesting bucket setup, and agree, not original. The seat bottom shape looks like the 73-77 low back style but the seat back shape looks more like 69-72 style. But who knows. You will probably make some decent money swapping to bench if you sell the buckets. (I'd keep em, but that's just me, I like buckets

) Great find, looks like a real nice truck, enjoy!

**DPowers** · 06-05-2019, 08:37 PM

Dropped off bench seat today to get up holstered. Going with this combo.

**DPowers** · 06-27-2019, 10:50 PM

Got seat back. Hopefully will get it installed this weekend.

Looks GREAT, especially in a white truck.

**Palf70Step** · 06-28-2019, 07:25 AM

That came out very nice!

1976gmc20 · 06-28-2019, 11:11 AM

That is a really nice pickup!

Is it a 3/4 ton ??? Looks like it based on the tire size.

Well, I just hope you're not planning to convert it to a 5 hole and lower it

Nooo.... this is a work type truck. Will have a slim toolbox in the bed. Bench seat and no carpet.
