New horse in the stable
 

1987 Silverado was delivered today. Not sure if the running boards are staying on.

I like those style wheels.

How did it check out? I hope you didn't find any (bad) surprises.

Overall I’m pleased with the purchase.

The inside is a 10 in my book. The seats and carpet look very nice.

The exterior is a 8 out of 10 for the age. Down low there are a couple rust spots. I think they started under all the trim and the fact it was in salt country. 99 percent of the paint is very nice.

I think the running boards are going to give way to nerf bars and I will repair the couple spots. Mainly to prevent it from getting worse.

I'm glad you're satisfied. The interior looked fantastic from the pics. Yeah salt is a killer. My 78 is a crazy story, it spent its entire life in OH and never once saw salt or snow (<22K miles). Those were the exact running boards my mom had on her Blazer. I yanked them when I got my hands on that K5. I did the old Skyler (?) soft top, the one that made it look like a pickup. I loved it. Those throttle body EFI were pretty peppy too. My uncle's 88 would blow away my mom's 86 w/ the carbed 05. I'm glad you ended up with the 87, sounds like it found a good home.

Sweet... That's the same paint scheme my first K5 had. It was an 83. The top was white on mine though. More pics?

Looks great! Any updates on your 71 GMC suburban?
