Square-body trucks keep getting harder to find in honest, usable
condition-especially examples that still look like a truck, drive
like a cruiser, and come with the right upgrades where they count.
This 1987 Chevrolet C10 Silverado checks those boxes with classic
square-body style, a strong-running 350ci V8, overdrive automatic,
cold A/C, power windows and locks, and a sharp two-tone
presentation that gives it real curb appeal.
Exterior
Finished in a slick silver and black two-tone scheme with thin red
accent striping, this '87 has the kind of look that stands out
without trying too hard. The body presents with a clean, straight
appearance, and the paint layout works especially well with the
square-body lines, wide stance, and chrome trim. Up front, the
truck wears the classic Chevrolet grille and bumper setup, while
the bed area is dressed with a black sport bar and trio of KC
lights that give it a period-correct street truck vibe. The bedside
treatment, trim, and overall presentation give this C10 a clean,
finished look that fits the era perfectly.
Wheels & Stance
This C10 sits right and has the stance most buyers want in a square
body-clean, level, and purposeful without being overdone. It rides
on rally-style wheels with polished trim rings and center caps
wrapped in 31x10.50R15LT Adventuro Radial tires. The combination
looks right on the truck and gives it that proper old-school
Chevrolet pickup attitude.
Interior
Inside, the truck keeps a clean, classic feel with a nicely
presented gray interior and bench seat configuration. The door
panels, dash, carpeting, and seat all show well and maintain the
straightforward, usable character these trucks are loved for. The
factory-style gauge cluster is in place, and this one benefits from
desirable comfort features including cold air conditioning, power
windows, and power locks-upgrades that make a big difference when
you actually get in and use the truck. A Sony head unit has been
added for updated audio capability. Also included are
original-style manuals and warranty/maintenance literature, which
is always a nice touch.
Engine & Drivetrain
Under the hood is a 350ci Chevrolet V8 paired with a 700R4
automatic overdrive transmission. That is a great combo for a
square body-plenty of classic small-block sound and feel, with the
added benefit of overdrive for more relaxed cruising. The engine
bay presents as clean and functional, and the truck is equipped
with air conditioning. The undercarriage photos also show a solid,
clean-looking setup that supports the impression of a truck that
has been cared for.
Steering & Brakes
This C10 appears to be set up the way a good driver should be, with
power steering and power brakes helping deliver an easy, confident
feel behind the wheel. It is the kind of setup that makes the truck
enjoyable whether you are cruising locally, heading to a show, or
just taking the long way home.
The Drive
What makes this truck appealing is that it does not feel like a
stripped-down project or an overbuilt custom. It looks right, has
the right drivetrain, and includes the features that matter most
for real-world enjoyment. The 350/700R4 combination is proven, the
A/C is a major plus, and the power accessories add convenience that
you do not always get in an older pickup. It has the style
square-body buyers want with the drivability to back it up.
