Crash repaired 87 Silverado - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

see ten · 08-11-2005, 05:43 PM

I just picked up my buddys 87 Silverado from the shop. I don't have any before photos but I thought some of you might like to see the end results. It was a near show quality truck before leaving the road and repositioning a couple of mailboxes. The front bumper was damaged along with the RF hood and RF fender, pass side rocker and front of the bed were also damaged. Two days after it happened we realized the roof had also been skinned by something that had flown over the top of it (mailbox?). It was taken to a local street machine specialist who got it back in tip top shape for us.

Whatcha think?

I'm trying to talk him into a little bit of drop and some 17" rims. Either way the Weld wheels that are on it now are gone. He decided he no longer likes them.

He said he wanted to buy something different but he didn't tell me what he wanted for these. Here is a picture with a better view of the wheels.

I am not sure what size the tires are but I know that the wheels are 8" wide on the front and 10" wide on the back. He talked like he would trade these wheels for some 8" rally wheels. But they would have to be in excellent shape with no scratches on the rings and good chrome on the centers. He would also need very good tires. I know he traded his rally wheels for these Weld wheels. I can't commit to a trade for him but it seems like thats what he said he wanted to do. I guess he would sell them outright but I would need to find out what he wants for them.
