Default Re: 87 VS 63... Hard choice.

You should look down the road on your choice of the GMC vs. the Chevy - both need parts, paint and hard work sure - maybe the GMC more at the moment. Think 3 years from now when you are motoring down the road - which one of those trucks will gather more looks and questions, a 1960's jimmy or a run of the mill cookie cutter 1980's Chevy? My 1965 suburban does the same work as my brothers 2000's something Silverado HD extended cab - we both pull car trailers and when we pull in for fuel - guess what. Sounds like you are a young fellow - take some advice from the older generation - if you need a truck NOW - spend the money and get a truck that runs and drives TODAY - like a cookie cutter version of work truck from the Big 3 clan. If you're looking for truck to enjoy down the road - take time and look for YOUR knee knocker - a truck that doesn't overwhelm you the minute you get it home - 2 things to remember in the old car/truck hobby - Cheaper is not always better AND good things comes to those who wait.
