The Model -During the early 1970's, Chevrolet, as did other
American truck makers, began to realize that pickups weren't just
work-horses. More and more of these vehicles were being pressed
into family car duties. Bare-bones commercial models were still
offered, but the more accessories and higher levels of trim
packages offered, the more the customers stood in line to get their
own. When the third generation of the C-10 series was released for
1973, Chevrolet promoted the design as their "Rounded Line". But
enthusiasts soon deemed these style-leader haulers as the
Square-bodies and most popular with the urban crowd when new and
collectors today are the Fleetside, small-box models on the base
117.5" wheelbase, collectively known as the "short-wides".�

The Truck - This 1987 model features a solid body that has been
treated to a number of styling upgrades, such as removal of most
external badging, a slightly lowered stance and custom alloy
wheels, and a two-tone paint scheme in Dark Red and Doeskin Beige
that screams of the 1980's. The interior of this truck has also
been treated to several upgrades including a two-tone treatment of
brown and tan to the full-width bench seat, modern stereo
tastefully installed and a custom steering wheel mounted to the
original tilt column. Our consignor tells us this Texas pickup is
not a trailer queen, she was built to be used and enjoys taking
long drives on those Texas highways, and doesn't mind going down a
dirt path or gravel road. Dependable and built like a rock, this is
plain and simple one good looking, decent driving and all-around
fine truck.�
