Vehicle Description
1987 Chevrolet K-1500 Pickup
C/K is a series of trucks that were manufactured by General Motors.
Marketed under the Chevrolet and GMC brands, the C/K series
included a wide range of vehicles. While most commonly associated
with pickup trucks, the model line also included chassis-cab trucks
and medium-duty trucks and served as the basis for GM full-size
SUVs. Used for both the model branding and the internal model code,
"C" denoted two-wheel drive; "K" denoted four-wheel drive.
For consignment a hauler, a 4x4, a comfy driver, a full size bed
which is covered, all wrapped up in two tone paint, some shiny
running boards and 15-inch rally wheels.
Exterior
Known as the rounded line as tagged by GM, the lines appear to be
more square and rectangle than anything else. This includes a
rectangular grille with square headlights in square bezel panels
and a shiny bumper below. Straight rust free steel wraps all sides
and the bed, and all support well minded gaps. Brown metallic
covers the upper portion of the truck, except for the cab roof.
White is the complementary color reserved for the bottom and the
roof. Some thin stainless trimmings finish off the wheel wells and
just on the aft portion of the front wells are aluminum mud flaps
for the well which form the front support of an aluminum running
board that runs just past the doors and helps with the climb in.
The back has rubber flaps, and they are doing their job because the
white lower portion of the rear panel is very clean. The bed is
covered with a ribbed tuff plastic full liner which even covers the
sides. On top is a vinyl snap on tonneau cover in black to
weatherproof the bed as well. 15-inch rally wheels are wrapped by
235/75R15 raised white letter Cooper Discoverer all weather deep
tread tires.
Interior
Brown molded vinyl buttons up the door panels and these have some
monogrammed leather small panels bolted on over top of the brow
vinyl. Inside is a brown broadcloth covered bench seat that has a
tear revealing the underlying padding on the driver's side. Brown
smooth bolsters are in the sides and front surrounding of this
bench. The original dash is intact and looking clean. The dash top
is clean and shows no cracking or distortions. Above is a metal
brown painted headliner, and on the floors is utilitarian but easy
to clean rubber.
Drivetrain
Under the hood within a clean and well-maintained engine bay is a
350ci V8 engine complete with EFI and a 700R4 4-speed automatic. A
3.06 rear axle is on. Overall the engine bay is free of any
corroded parts and just shows some dirt and dust.
Undercarriage
Minor speckles of surface rust, pepper the various undercarriage
parts. All remains very solid and really clean with little road
dirt spills seen. Leaf springs are on all 4 corners and power disc
brakes are upfront, and power drums for the rear.
Drive-Ability
A quick starter, and fine driver with easy power steering, good
cornering, nice smooth acceleration with plenty of power. All
functions were working at the time of the test drive.
A nice survivor example that has had a mere 2 owners throughout its
history. The last being the consignor's father who has passed away
and now the consigner can no longer make use of this vehicle. A
clean well-kept example with fairly low mileage (81,642) for its
age. Definitely worth a look, as it has lots of life left in this
one's soul.
