Howdy y'all. New here, with my current and only square body, my '87 GMC R1500 Sierra Classic short bed.
My Grandpa bought her in '93 from his coworker, who was the original owner. His coworker's son was, at the time, the vehicle order manager at James Wood in Decatur, and basically was told "I want a blue 2wd short bed, you can do whatever else you want. Let me know when it gets here." By his dad.
She currently has her original L05 TBI 350 & 700R4 with a 3.08:1 10 bolt and a tick over 127k original miles. She technically needs complete restoration, but I think she could be drivable in a couple of months with a little bit thrown at her.
This old girl has a really convoluted history with my family, and I've only just recently gotten her titled in my name.
Here she is in all her ugly yard art glory.
