1987 Chev RESTO and 4X4 conversion
 

I bought a 87 chev 4x4 with rotten body
and a 86 chev 2x4 with a solid body.

When I'm done I will have combine the two trucks to make one solid very cool 87 Chev $X4 131" wheel base.

Demolition of the 87 started
Virtually ALL the tins were scrap on the 87
The only haft descent pan on the truck was the hood.
OH YA !!!! Check out the good used tires and rims I found in our local for sale ads

nice project you have going. the pics bring me back to when I lived in northern Ontario...sault...you may be farther north.

Looks like a fun project Glenn...Would love to find some wheels like that, mine suck

I got lucky Harry, I found these on North Bay Kijiji for $400 :)

Good deal, will have to look around...Question, will all years of 6 bolt wheels fit my 97?

I'm not sure what year group will fit your truck, all I can tell you is your bolt pattern it 6x5.5 So what ever wheel has this bolt pattern will probably fit.
EDIT I found out your wheels will fit any 6 lug: 1970 to 1998 Chev truck or GMC 4x4 truck
Hope this helps

4x4 Chassis has been stripped of it's rust 87 body panels now to do away with the 86 2WD chassis to transplant the 86 body onto the 87 chassis

I like the hoist....electric even.


I built something like that out of 4x4 posts. a huge immovable monstrosity that looked like a Trebuchet. the Trojan horse we called it...yours looks much friendlier.
