New 87 owner
Hi guys. I have been a member in the 67-72 area for a while. I have a 72 im restoring, but I have been looking for me a mid 80s truck to make my daily driver at a good price for about a year. I finally found close to what I was looking for this weekend. I bought it and drove it home about 52 miles with out a hiccup. Looking forward to doing a few mechanical things, but pretty much leaving her alone. It is a 87 silver ado with tilt/350/700r and she purs like a kitten. If you guys are anything like the 67-72 guys I know you like pictures. I will get better ones soon, but this should do for now.

Re: New 87 owner
Very clean!
I love the '87s for the TBI. They are definitely solid, reliable drivers. |
