1987 Chevrolet 3/4 Ton 4x4 Regular Cab Pickup
1987 Chevrolet C/K Pickup 2500 Description
I’ve owned this 1987 3/4 ton four wheel drive regular cab long box Chevrolet pickup for nearly 20 years. Itunderwent a complete frame-off professional restoration that was completed in 2011. It has 7400 miles since its completion in 2011. It was in an in-town fender bender that was my excuse to begin restoring it. I left no stone unturned and spared no expense. This pickup has been stored in a heated garage. It’s never seen rain, snow, hail, or foul weather, nor has it towed anything since the restoration. I have a spreadsheet and binder full of receipts documenting nearly every penny that’s gone into this pristine pickup. What follows is a partial list of what has been done:
- 383 stroker crate motor with high flow heads, aluminum roller rockers, KB 9.2:1 pistons, Eagle crank, forged rods, EnginePro cam, Professional Products balancer, Cloyes double row timing chain, Meling oil pump, Edlebrock Performer TBI intake, and matched Venom injectors with adjustable fuel pressure valve; engine oil has always been Mobil 1 after initial break-in period
- CFM Tech ported and blueprinted 620 CFM throttle body with new gaskets
- LT1 dual electric cooling fan conversion with individual controls
- Built 700r4 transmission: Alto Redline clutches, Kolene steels, Trans-go shift kit, High Energy 2-4 band, Corvette servo and governor, and Lokar shifter

- New 3-point seatbelts and center lap belt
- The only thing I believe this truck could use is 4 new tires. They’ve been on the pickup since well before the restoration.
- Anything I’ve left out, from suspension components to seals, gaskets and electrical components, has likely either been rebuilt or replaced
