87 Stepside - New member New Truck
« on: May 26, 2010, 09:42:56 am »
Hi all. I am a new member and just picked up a 87 stepside. I have some questions for you.
1- Looking for a stepside bumper that does look like it belongs on a fleetside. Any suggestions?
2- Looking for suggestions on tire/wheel size. I am leaveing the truck at stock height right now but want to fill the fenders or at least get the wheels out more.I really dont like the look from the back with the wheels so skinny now.
3- Good place to order bed pannels that will not break the bank

any help is appreciated.


1987 with stock V6 and T350. 3.08 gears, limited slip option stock. ---- Will be replaced with 383 stroker, 350 turbo tran, 3.373 gears and rebuilt G80.

Rear chrome bumper or roll pan you can get here. Get wider wheels with more of an offset to bring them outward. If it's stock height 275/60's fit well in the front but you may want bigger in the rear. I would build a 700R4 over a TH350
