Help with 1987 3/4 ton chevy
I am getting a 1987 3/4 ton Chevy that needs a ton of work done to it. My plans are restoring it all for the most part. I guess i need help on what I should work on first? I have been told the engine and the drive train.... is that what you guys would look and fix first?

Re: Help with 1987 3/4 ton chevy
if it runs and drives desent...i'd go with these guys...brakes steering and suspension......but i would also do the major body work too before getting into the engine and transmission.....my brother is going though a truck right now and we are saving the engine and tranny for last....but they are both in pretty good shape too...
