When Chevrolet introduced the Rounded Line C/K trucks, they quickly
became some of the most popular pickups ever built, earning a
reputation for rugged durability and timeless styling. By 1987, the
final year before the all-new GMT400 platform arrived, these
square-body Chevrolets had become the last chapter of an era that
today commands a loyal following among collectors and performance
enthusiasts alike.
This 1987 Chevrolet R10 takes that proven square-body formula and
turns up the heat with a matching numbers 350 that has been
professionally built into a stout 383 stroker. Featuring aluminum
heads, forged ICON pistons, steel crank and rods, Comp Cams 274H
hydraulic flat tappet camshaft, 1.5 roller rockers, and twin
Aeromotive 340 fuel pumps feeding an Aeromotive dual fuel pressure
regulator, this small block was built with serious street
performance in mind. A cowl induction hood hints at the muscle
lurking underneath long before the key is turned.
Backing the stroker is a built Monster 700R4 overdrive automatic
transmission, delivering crisp shifts and highway-friendly
cruising. Power is transferred through a built 12-bolt rear end
equipped with 3.73 gears, creating a combination that offers strong
acceleration while maintaining excellent drivability. Front disc
brakes, power brakes, and power steering provide the confidence and
control expected from a well-sorted street machine.
Finished in bright red with a matching red bench seat interior,
this R10 captures the aggressive attitude that made square-body
Chevrolets legends on the street. Power windows, power locks, air
conditioning, and a sliding rear window add comfort and convenience
without taking away from its classic truck character.
With the popularity of performance-built square bodies continuing
to climb, finding a final-year R10 with a professionally assembled
stroker drivetrain, upgraded fuel system, and carefully selected
performance components is becoming increasingly difficult. This
Chevrolet delivers the unmistakable look, sound, and feel that has
made these trucks one of the hottest segments in the collector
vehicle market.
