My '87 and '76 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Slammed '87 · 08-20-2003, 11:42 PM

I bought my '87 a few years back. I was lucky enough to buy it off an old farmer here in Alberta. The truck was basically all stock and in mint condition when i bought it. It's a fully loaded Sierra Classic swb with a stock 350 under the hood (for now hehehe). It's still in progress, another year or two hopefully, if i get a raise! LOL
The '76 Sierra Grand has a 454 and new rebuilt tranny along with some other minor mods. I just bought it for a winter truck, but it is now for sale. If anyone is interested and near or in Alberta gimme a shout!!!
Man you guys have some sweet ass rides!!! This is nice to be able to see what all is out there, and give me some ideas to steal MUAHahahahaha

what size and kind of wheels are you running on the 87, front and rear? they look like welds, i want to put something similar on mine.

Slammed '87 · 08-21-2003, 01:33 AM

I got the rims used so i don't know for sure, the center caps said WELD, and inside the rims it says CRAGER, i know the two are affiliated some how. But yeah they are a pro-star or drag-star rim! I ditched the ugly center caps and bought new caps and spinners. Looks way better i think!

Slammed '87 · 08-21-2003, 01:40 AM

oh yeah, sorry u also wanted to know size,... they are 15 by 8" and 15 by 10" standard sizes!

Prerunner1982 · 08-21-2003, 04:37 AM

when you get your 17's will those 15's be for sale????

Slammed '87 · 08-21-2003, 11:51 PM

First off thanks for the compliments dudes!!!

The '76 has a 3/4" drop and my '87 has a 7/12" drop! The weld rims are the same ones on both the 76 and 87, on the 76 i had qualifier 265/50's and 295/50's, on my 87 i am runnig hercules 225/50's and 265/50's. I wanted a little lower profile rubber on the rims for my 87! Plus the backspacing on the 10" rims is wrong for my low stance. I was rubbing tire with 295's so thats why i went with the 265's on the rear. ...And for me selling the rims, sorry but NOWAY JOSE! HAHAHA I buy new trucks all the time, i wanna keep em around so i have nice rims to put on my next baby. ... Thanks again guys! ttys! ~ dean ~

Kybol · 08-22-2003, 12:50 AM

Those are some nice trucks. How much are you asking for the 76, I saw it in the trader and thought it was pretty cool, is it a longbed?

Slammed '87 · 08-22-2003, 01:10 AM

Yeah dude still trying to get it off my hands. It is a long box!, if it wasnt, there is noway in hell i would ever sell it. I prefer shorties!
It would be a perfect ride to fix up, or is if u like long beds!!! I am asking $3000.oo. If u r seriously interested e-mail me @ ..........
layd_low@hotmail.com and i can give u my phone # .... there is a truck just like this in lethbridge, a shortie, all done up, same color, not too low, but sweet azz ride!!!. I really like that color, it's perfect for a custom!!! *cheers* ~ Dean ~
