I've Finally Got One
« on: December 12, 2013, 07:02:54 PM »

    Hey guys.  I've been looking for the right 1980's Chevy truck for a year or so.  I've been using this website to learn as much as possible about what to look for.  I ended up with an 88 K10 Silverado that fits me perfectly and it's more fun to drive than I would have ever imagined!

Nice looking but probably a 1987?

Very nice ride!

What's under the hood??? If you have to ask maybe we shouldn't race!

X2, 88s in standard cab are a different body style. I would check the VIN.

   Yes, it's an 85.  I opted for a carbureted GM 350 crate motor.  It's also got a 4 inch lift and 35" tires.  I wanted something that looks good but could be driven reliably since I'm not too mechanically inclined (yet).
