My new truck arrived today - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

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.
