87 Chevy Silverado
« on: July 05, 2013, 11:55:41 am »
Hello from Minnesota. First time poster and complete noob. Here is my newly acquired truck. I'm in love! This baby has motivated me to learn as much as i can about this truck and how to maintain it, that's how i got here.

87 Chevy Silverado 5.7 350

Going to try to post some more pictures soon.

nice truck, but why would someone bolt steps to a area thats prone to rust?

That's what I was thinking.

Also you have a pic of the back....I am curious how you have the bars on the bed and a toneau cover, have not seen that before.

Hmmmmmm.....that's interesting looks like they used a newer tonneua cover as they are not as wide. Somehow they made I ledge for it to sit on, kind of a cool idea so you can have the bars or ladder rack and a tonneau cover.

looks like you guys will be seeing pictures of my engine also. I found out i have a crack in my cylinder head.

Question: what do you guys think about having someone weld and grind the crack so i can reuse the head?



I will post some pictures later today that show the cover edge.
