1985-1987 model. Equipped with power windows and door locks. Also has the hidden radio antenna (imbedded into the windshield) versus the crude and unsightly fixed mast radio antenna. I would bet it also has the Automatic Locking Rear Differential. -- Last edit: 2010-01-27 00:49:20 (ford_guy) |

Note the fender mounted turning indicator. Illuminates when lights are turned on, and flashes opposite of the front turn indicator (in the grille) and clustered rear tail lamp indicator. The same as European vehicles (with required third turning indicators) except at that time Chevrolet placed the indicator in front of the fender and not aft like modern vehicles. |

Episode 1.21:![]() (would this make a better main image?) And just for reference, the radio: ![]() |

Non-original aftermarket radio fitted ... The factory radio on later models (also what was originally equipped in this truck) had AC Delco AM/FM Cassette Radio with "Auto Reverse" and a five speaker sound system. |

Wonder why GM eliminated the hidden anntennae for the next generation? |

Not sure why GM did that, but it was a step back in terms of advancement. Most vehicles at that time didn’t have glass embedded hidden antennas. They weren’t common back in 70’s like they are now. Anyway, its clear GM took the cheap route with the fourth generation trucks. |

Does not appear to have the rectangular emblem (which reads: "Fuel Injection") on the upper driver side of the tailgate. So it’s not likely to be a 1987 model. The engine is likely carbureted. A nice view of the tailgate panel that was standard with the Silverado trim. It’s a one-piece polished real aluminium décor panel (very expensive). It’s for appearance only, not really good for anything. |

Although this particular truck looks like it's seen better days, you can tell it just needs a little bit of fixing up to be returned to prime condition. I cringed during an episode where men with bats vandalized it and broke its windows. |

It is certainly worth restoring, but if it’s owned by a movie/film car company that supplies cars for films it may never get restored. |

Tim Riggins RULES! He's probably one of the best characters on the series. Always funny how just about every scene he's holding a beer. Quite the rebel. Love the truck he drives too. It's too bad he's off the show on the current season, but it's the last season. |

The truck was confirmed as a 1986 model when it was sold by NBC: Link to "www.bestweekever.tv" |
