Hey Guys,

My name is Steve, and for the past ten years I've had the privilege of owning one of the most sought after square bodies ever produced, and it has been a wonderful experience that I will not forget. I inherited this truck from my father (retired mechanic), who bought it in 2004 from the original owner with less than 25,000 original miles.


Fast forward to today, the odometer now reads 79, 579 miles- all original. I have had a connection with this truck that is now having to come to an end, as I can no longer carry insurance payments, registration etc- on two vehicles.

The Truck: **Located in West Chester, Pennsylvania**
1987 Chevrolet V30 (1 TON) 7.4L 484 (TBI)
4x4 With Locking Hubs
POSI Rear ( GM 14 Bolt
Hydraulic Brake Cylinder
Bucket Seats
Power Windows/Locks
Lecarra Steering Wheel
Two Fuel Tanks With Switch
Aftermarket Head Unit
Two Optima Yellowtop Batteries
Roll Bar
4.10 Rear Gears
TH400
NP205
Just Inspected 11/2017

*** This was a Choo-Choo cutstoms truck!***

I want someone who appreciates these trucks as much as I have to carry on it's legacy. I have done Lots to the truck this past summer, including:

Within 1000 Miles:
Sand/prep and apply undercoating
Power Steering Flush
New Weatherstrip
New Turn Signal/ Wiper Stalk
New Front Tires
Bleed new fluid into brakes

My father was a mechanic, and I have a detailed spiral notebook filled with work he did to the truck, as he was (and still is) very big on preventative maintenance. Also have over fourteen thousand dollars in receipts dating back to the original owner (1987)

Truck Comes with:
5 Aluminum American Racing wheels 12.5 X 16.5
Aftermarket tinted back window (used)
Trailer Wiring Harness
2 Part GM Shop Manual
GM Electrical Wiring Diagram Manual
Spare Keys

Welcome from a little north of you.

So nice to see rocker panels as they were when new. Sweet truck man. If I didnt have projects, and a payment on a cummins I'd be all over this haha. Hope it goes to a good home.

Unfortunately it's out of my budget. And it's technically not a sale thread since it's in the intro section and I removed the asking price. Which I guess technically makes it not against the rules, lol.

Thats what id like to know but i know for sure my wallet cant touch that... shes a beauty though!!

It would be best to pm the member for details if anyone is interested in this truck that's not a sale thread.

Again, I also encourage the OP to stick around a while. There's probably a lot of good info that can be shared, or at least some general BSing among like minded individuals.
