Sorry to keep posting pics, but I really like how my drop turned out...

My 86 Silverado. Before & after the drop, and after this weekend. I powder coated wheels and got rid of the skinny whitewalls.

Thanks guys! It was purchased here new in Ocala, FL. I bought from a little old lady who was 2nd owner. All original paint too! Has the original 305 which runs like crap. I have a 6.0 truck motor that will eventually go in it. The inside of the bed is perfect. I don't think it ever hauled anything. Not a scratch or dent.

My '83 C10 waiting to take me home from work. I've had it about 5 months.

Wow, great find - what a clean platform to start with!

Where/how did you find it for sale?

Is that an orange trim stripe around your truck? We had one with an orange trim stripe on a red/white truck like that on our used car lot when i was a teenager in the mid-80s and I loved it.
I think that's one of the reasons I love the squares so much is because of all the different ones I drove off our lot in high school. Never owned a car in all those years, just drove something off the lot.

These are the ones that I can vividly remember driving when I was a kid:
1975 3/4-ton 4-door Camper Special - Green (My grandfather bought it brand new)
1986 3/4-ton Custom Deluxe - Maroon
1984 3/4-ton Step-side - White
1980 C10 Short bed - Gold/Brown
1979 Short Bed 4x4 - Red
1982 C10 Long bed - Brown/Tan
1980 C10 Long bed - Green/Green
And the first one I ever owned/paid for myself: 1979 C10 305/3-speed on column - Maroon

Looking at all these pics brings back a ton of memories. Thanks to everyone for sharing.

It was actually sitting outside of a local mechanic shop that did its regular service. I braked so hard I almost caused an accident to turn around and see how I could buy it. LOL
The trans was shifting weirdly and the mechanic had to talk the lady into selling it since it needed a rebuild and she rarely drove it.

Yes, the stripe on the truck has orange in it. I think I have seen the orange on some other color trucks too. I dont plan on repainting it currently, but if I ever do I will make sure I can replicate the original stripe!

Thanks for sharing the back story - always find it interesting how these clean trucks are found.

Don't blame you for nearly causing an accident trying to get in there. You've done a great job w/ it too. The stance, wheels and tires look great!
