Re: Survivor 1987 V30 Silverado SRW 454/400

Getting some run time outside the shop yesterday. Had to rearrange some trucks. The battery was dead on the 92 or it would have been out for the picture as well.

Re: Survivor 1987 V30 Silverado SRW 454/400

Trying to decided on a wheel and tire combo that I really like. Right now I have basically two options, 1.) return the truck back to stock. I have purchased all new components including leaf springs, shackles, shocks and all associated hardware. I would put the truck back on 265/75r16s on 16x7 wheels. 2.) Leave the truck lifted 2.5” but run 295/75/16 that are in this picture.

Re: Survivor 1987 V30 Silverado SRW 454/400

I'd vote for option 1. I've always been pretty darn partial to factory stock trucks... especially 3/4 and 1-ton 4x4's.

Either way, what you're doing doesn't involve cutting/welding/modifying OEM components, so if you decide one way and then change your mind, it can always be swapped back!

Re: Survivor 1987 V30 Silverado SRW 454/400

I finally decided to take the truck back to stock suspension. I think it does the truck justice. I’m not ruling out putting the lift back on but it don’t think it will be anytime soon.

Got my invoice back from GM heritage. Confirmed that the story I had gotten was true and the truck was purchased new in Englewood Colorado 3/26/87.

Re: Survivor 1987 V30 Silverado SRW 454/400

JT_Trucks87 how much does that cost and turn around time? I recently bought a 79 single cab K30 dually that is missing the fender emblems and SPID sheet. Was wondering what my truck was new.

I believe it was $50 and I had the invoice in 3-4 days!

Re: Survivor 1987 V30 Silverado SRW 454/400

Those are both really nice trucks. I grew up on squarebodies and they are still my idea of what a truck should look like. I like that you went back to stock, just because almost all of the ones I see around are lifted, etc.

Re: Survivor 1987 V30 Silverado SRW 454/400

This is probably silly to some, but now that I know for a fact the truck was sold new at Burt Chevrolet I went ahead and found a Burt Englewood badge for the truck. Attachment 2275902
