Here's a blast from the past -- I grew up around trucks like this. Today's UCOTD is a 1987 Chevrolet Silverado K10.

That's the last year of the square body and the first of fuel injection. This truck has four-wheel drive and a long bed. The odo shows 71,000 miles but the owner thinks it's actually 171,000 miles.

The seller claims the truck runs and drives well and has been well-maintained, but it does have some minor issues with instrumentation and a little bit of rust.

It's driven daily, but also to car shows, and the owner wants $19,900. This truck is a Texan. Click here to check it out.

Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.

Nicest looking dash/gage cluster ever put in any PU truck. After all these years it still looks so good.

28-Cars-Later "The accused companies include Toyota, Nissan, Subaru, Volkswagen, BMW, Mazda, Mercedes-Benz and Kia — which reportedly told lawmakers that they would supply data to police and other government agencies whenever subpoenaed. However, the agreement signed in 2014 expressly forbids this. The Consumer Privacy Protection Principles stipulates that data never be handed over without a warrant issued by a judge."I seem to recall some scandals in the 00s where ISPs were turning over data to NSA et al upon request... so the reality is since the "Patriot" Act the national security state can already access whatever it needs and anyone who thinks otherwise is beyond naïve. What's changing is private corporations are now also peeking into your life without any legitimate national security reasoning and the courts need to put a stop to this ASAP.
Bd2 They built a dedicated test track for a variant of the highly unprofitable Mach E. Hey so long as cowboys in tanktops with electric guitars continue to feature in their adds, Ford won't have any problems offering the #1 selling vehicle in the US.
Kjhkjlhkjhkljh kljhjkhjklhkjh Let me get this straight .. they made the app BETTER TO STARE AT WHILE DRIVING... when you are NOT supposed to be staring at a 10 inch screen glued to your dashboard for any length of time?Might as well make cyanide taste like Kool-Aid
MrIcky I bet these will sell ok- as fleet vehicles. They will take on in town pick up duties for power companies when an hd with tool boxes aren't required, they will show up on any company that wants to push a 'green image' but still needs to haul ladders and such like solar and roofing. It will be a strange truck in a strange market but I bet it doesn't do too bad
2ACL If your driving and/or maintenance regimen wrecked the valves, what other horrors await me? A maintained 2.slow can be decent basic transportation, though many of the models carrying it are old enough to have age-related problems. This is impending heartbreak for anyone not intent on getting their hands dirty.
