    What’s IT Worth? (Post all “what’s it worth threads here)

    Thanks for the input. I've definitely thought about keeping it. Its just a great running fun truck to drive, go fishing, hunting, haul stuff around. The interior is really nice and its straight and rust free.

    What’s IT Worth? (Post all “what’s it worth threads here)

    Thinking about selling my 87 R10 long bed 2wd in AL. Highly original. My family bought it from the original owner's 92 year old farmer estate sale. Local AL truck with 110,000 miles. I've owned about 4 years and put about 8,000 miles on it. Straight truck with no rust. Great interior...

    Brake bleed hose

    Anyone know the size hose needed to cover the bleed screw to bleed brakes on 87 R10? Harbor freight brake bleed kits are not very highly rated, probably just do it with just a hose and pumping brakes.

    Insurance

    I've had great experience with State Farm. I was in an mutlicar accident and was sued by one of these trial lawerys you see on TV. State Farm stepped in, hired me an outside high powered attorney firm to defend me and after 2 + years it was all settled no problem. They were great.

    Insurance

    I see Hagerty is the most popular insurance choice. Any idea how the big insurance companies like State Farm value an old truck that is a nice old truck but not fully restored? Lets say it was stolen or totaled in accident.

    Anyone dealt with LMC Trucks for parts?

    Agreee, and don't call any numbers or click any links in the email. Find their number from another source such as google from your phone, another phone, or better a printed catalog.

    water leak into cab through floor vent over brake pedal

    I recently chased down 3 small similar leaks. I'm not sure this will help but one thing I learned was to slooowwly add water to one location at a time to eliminate entry spots. I focused on the cowl by putting a water hose at the cowl screen with slow water coming out of the hose and avoided...

    interior parts recommendations?

    I just installed carpet from LMC. Good quality and good color match. An extra roll of insulation is well worth the money because the carpet is only insulated under the driver and passenger feet. Not long ago installed rubber door and hood seals from Brothers Truck. Really thick good...

    Yeah, it was best case highway conditions. I'm guessing local city driving would be more like 13-14

    AM/FM cassette Delco stock radio

    I have a used one, everything worked on it except the driver side sound was distorted. I had a repair shop look at it and they couldn't fix it, I think they broke it, admitted they "can't get it to power up". Didn't know what they were dealing with.......While they were working on it I bought...

    Free used carpet if you pay shipping.....pics..

    I just put new carpet and door seals in my 87 2 door auto trans R10 with blue interior. The old carpet is dirty, faded in spots but I hate to toss if someone wants it. A good pressure washing would bring it back to life. Any way.....its free to the first taker if you pay shipping from AL. No...

    Attached is a snip pic from the 1987 R wiring harness linked in reference section of this site. Are you sure you want to cut the harness instead of finding an adapter ?

    1979 GMC Heavy Half - One Owner

    It looks like you could have the paint buffed/cut and it would shine up nice with some patina spots remaining. Maybe not. If you don't mind sharing, what do you think it will cost to paint?
