Vehicle Description
1987 GMC 2500 Pickup
Officially named the "Rounded-Line" trucks by GM, the 1973-1987
Chevy C/K trucks were known more casually as the "box-body" or
"square-body" pickup. Sporting a new body style that incorporated
rounded corners around the wheel well in addition to a rounded
windshield and door frames, the third-generation Chevy C/K trucks
had an entirely new look. Larger and wider, the pickups looked more
box-like, which is why they were coined the "box-body" trucks.
For consignment a hauler, a 4x4, a comfy driver, a full size bed,
all wrapped up in the now clear coated original two tone paint,
some shiny running boards and the original window sticker wrapped
up in a 70,094 title verified actual mile 1 owner package. Put that
in your pipe and smoke it.
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 blacked out chrome trimmed grille with stacked square
headlights in square bezel panels, a deep red GMC badge, and a
shiny bumper below. Straight bright red factory steel wraps all
sides and the bed. framing the white painted side inserts and all
support well minded gaps. Some thin stainless trimmings finish off
the wheel wells and straight clean body lines, with stainless
trimmings below and orangish red and black pinstriping above the
white along with clean badges make up the slab steel sides. Black
trimmings surround the glass and for a little extra bling the drip
rails are highlighted with shiny stainless trimming as well as
clearance lights on the roof of the cab. The bed is covered with
more of the original red paint, non clear coated, with just a bit
of fade but nary a dent or any signs of heavy usage. This factory
paint covers the sides and tailgate all remaining clean and mar
free. 15-inch steel wheels are covered with ventilated wheel covers
and are wrapped by like new 235/80R15 blackwall Firestone
all-weather deep tread tires.
Interior
Red molded vinyl buttons up the door panels and these have a nicely
contrasting brushed aluminum insert that holds the door pull and
vies for space against padded vinyl armrests and a broadcloth
insert. This panel is trimmed with a chrome delineation strip and
down below is a carpeted band in red as well as chrome toggles for
the power windows and locks. The original burgundy cloth bench seat
with smooth dark red vinyl bolsters on the sides and tuck and roll
cushions that make up the seating. The original dash is intact and
looking clean with a multitude of inset round gauges within a
brushed aluminum panel and a black plastic band is below and holds
the headlight pull and the original AM/FM/Cassette stereo and an
added Pioneer CD controller. The dash top is clean and shows no
cracking or distortions and the lower is all steel in body matching
red. Above is a lightly sagging red broadcloth headliner, and on
the floors is clean medium pile red carpet with the transfer case
shifter in the middle within its black housing.
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.
4.11 gears fill both the front and rear axles. Overall, the engine
bay is free of any corroded parts and just shows some dirt and
dust.
Undercarriage
Not to be outdone by the topside, the undercarriage appears to have
never seen bad weather, and presents as original. Straight
rust-free steel for the flooring and frame and cab floors retain
their factory undercoated finish, meanwhile light surface rust has
appeared on the usual suspects. Providing the truck-like ride are
leaf springs both fore and aft and power disc brakes are on front,
and power drums for the rear. A lightly surface rusted stock style
exhaust system is on for the exhale.
Drive-Ability
A quick fire up and the engine came to life! This 2500 drove just
like a truck should. Adequate acceleration, good braking and it
handled all our test track had to offer. All mechanicals were
working, and the interior proved to be visually appealing and
comfortable thanks in part to the care and upkeep over the
years.
A nice survivor example that has had only 1 owner throughout its
history. A clean well-kept example with fairly low mileage for its
age with all the charm of the days when trucks were trucks.
Definitely worth a look, as it has lots of life left in this one's
soul.
