The final year of the classic square-body GMC remains one of the
most desirable, and this 1987 GMC V1500 Sierra Classic 4x4 combines
that iconic styling with V8 power, four-wheel-drive capability, and
an excellent list of factory-style comfort features. Finished in
Dark Gray Metallic over a Blue cloth interior, this truck has the
rugged stance enthusiasts want along with enough convenience to
make it genuinely enjoyable on the road.
Power comes from a 5.7-liter V8 equipped with electronic fuel
injection, a major advantage for 1987 and one of the reasons these
final-year square-body trucks are so sought after. The
fuel-injected small-block delivers easy starting, smooth operation,
and dependable drivability, while the 700R4 four-speed automatic
transmission with overdrive makes highway cruising more relaxed and
comfortable.
The V1500 designation identifies this truck as a four-wheel-drive
model, and it retains the traditional front and rear leaf spring
suspension that gives these pickups their familiar heavy-duty feel.
A 3.73 rear axle ratio provides a good balance between pulling
power and road manners, while power steering makes low-speed
maneuvering easy. Braking is handled by power-assisted front disc
brakes and rear drums.
The Dark Gray Metallic exterior gives the truck a clean, aggressive
look, especially with the 15-inch wheels and 35x10.50R15LT tires
fitted front and rear. The larger tire package gives the GMC the
proper lifted 4x4 stance without overwhelming the classic body
lines. The pickup bed has been finished with a color-matched Rhino
Liner, adding both durability and a clean, finished appearance.
Inside, the Blue cloth interior reflects the upscale Sierra Classic
trim level and is complemented by a long list of convenience
features. Power windows, power door locks, tilt steering, and
cruise control make this GMC far more comfortable than a basic work
truck, while the air conditioning blows cold and makes warm-weather
driving especially enjoyable.
The audio system retains a factory appearance thanks to a rebuilt
Delco AM/FM radio that has been upgraded with Bluetooth
functionality. This allows modern wireless audio streaming while
preserving the original look of the dashboard, a thoughtful
improvement for anyone who appreciates classic presentation without
giving up modern convenience.
Dual fuel tanks add useful range and are another desirable feature
on a full-size four-wheel-drive pickup. The truck retains a single
exhaust system, keeping the overall mechanical package
straightforward and easy to service.
What makes this 1987 GMC especially appealing is the combination of
final-year square-body styling and desirable equipment. The Sierra
Classic trim, fuel-injected 5.7-liter V8, overdrive automatic
transmission, cold air conditioning, power accessories, cruise
control, Bluetooth-equipped Delco radio, and four-wheel-drive
capability create a truck that is as comfortable to use as it is
enjoyable to look at.
With its Dark Gray Metallic finish, Blue cloth interior, aggressive
35-inch tires, color-matched Rhino-lined bed, and well-equipped
Sierra Classic cabin, this 1987 GMC V1500 4x4 offers the right
blend of classic truck character and everyday usability. It is a
strong choice for the enthusiast looking for a square-body GMC that
is ready for cruise nights, local shows, weekend trips, and regular
enjoyment.
