Used Car of the Day: 1987 Chevrolet Silverado K10

Here's a blast from the past -- I grew up around trucks like this. Today's UCOTD is a 1987 Chevrolet Silverado K10.


That's the last year of the square body and the first of fuel injection. This truck has four-wheel drive and a long bed. The odo shows 71,000 miles but the owner thinks it's actually 171,000 miles.

The seller claims the truck runs and drives well and has been well-maintained, but it does have some minor issues with instrumentation and a little bit of rust.

It's driven daily, but also to car shows, and the owner wants $19,900. This truck is a Texan. Click here to check it out.

Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.

  • Rollin I love the looks. I mean, sure, I look at every car these days and can't help thinking that it'd be great if the rear window belt line were 6" lower, so that the view would not be just of cars' rooflines, but the actual cars themselves. That way my 'brain' could build up a 360° picture of the surrounding traffic, without having to strain, because my eyes haven't really seen any cars, just a bunch of rooflines (most of them gray in colour). And the C pillar could be thinner. Yeah, I really want someone to resurrect BMW 2002 styling from the '70s, as far as that goes. But in a hatch, of course.Also, if it had a hybrid powertrain, or ICE with a planetary gear transmission... Or a manual. In brown, I know...
