87 Chev "Wrangler" (Old Red)
« on: January 13, 2009, 08:45:21 PM »
I am a new member of this web site and would like to share a few photos of my truck.
- 1987 Chev "Wrangler" 4X4 (Exclusive Canadian build truck)
- 350CID with TBI
- 4 speed Auto/Overdrive
- Full "A + B" Wrangler Option Package
- One of 455 built with the options package in red over black paint scheme.
- 2.5" lift in rear
- Extra leaf in front

I have owned the truck since new. Fresh paint, no rust, all original equipment

I would like to fill the wheel wells with 33x10.5 rubber. Will I have any clearance issues?

Are there any other Wrangler owners out there? Sometimes hard finding good parts for "Wrangler"

Glad to see you post Dwayne.  Definitely tell us more about your truck.  Do you have the GM info packet on it?

We are a bit further south, and he did say it was exclusive to Canada. Kindda like these, there are more in the south than up north
