A squarebody will never go out of style. They are everything a truck should be and needs to be, Perfect.
Enjoyed this a ton, and learned a few things - thanks man!
I have an '87 GMC Sierra classic 2500. 70k original miles. Just about ready for painting. All mechanicals, body work and interior done. Runs and rides fantastic. Now figuring out best paint scheme.
Hell if looks could kill, it's a 73-87 squarebody. The truck stood with America during pivotal times from Vietnam to Reagan years. Built with love and Detroit steel! Compared to pickups now that are made from recycled beer cans and baby diapers.
Yes Edmond Fitzgerald iron pellets made these p/USMC Thanks Dad👍🇱🇷🍺
I love the old box Chevys! I agree that the 2-tone paint job was just so iconic with that body style! I prefer the newer front end with the stacked square headlights and the turn signals in the front bumper.
I LOVE square bodies too. Thanks for this deep-dive of historical information brother. I currently drive an ‘06 GMC Sierra W/T that I inherited from my late father.😁
I LOVE THIS Takes me back to my old 3 on the tree Custom Delux.
Thanks, enjoyed every minute of this vid.
Very nice video that defintitly deserves more attention! I own a 86 C20 and start to restore it. Greetings from Germany
The dog dish hub caps are iconic and anything else looks ghetto on a 3/4 ton truck.
Man what a video. Very enjoyable. Should have more that 15k views. Thank you.
Finished the video and totally agree with your thoughts on it I have to fix up my dads truck now !
Not only do these things look nice they last forever if maintained, can’t say that about todays cars
Great video I have an 1981 camper special 454. 86000 original miles. Owned for over 20 years. Love it. Would never sell. People always ask if I would sell. I always tell them they are about number 25 on the list.
I have 2 eighties pick up trucks one is a 1982 Chevy custom Deluxe the other 1 is a 1987 Chevy Silverado
“You don’t have to be in 2022 for a minute….that’s kinda nice” hahahaha Killed me
my top 3 choices for these things
1- 67-72 #1 /// These 2 are tied for 2nd but if I had to pick I'd put the 93-95 in 2nd /// 2- square body (shown here) /// 3- GMT400 up to 95 - After 95 look too rounded inside and outside like it got fat in the wrong ways.
I own a 94 k1500 burban awesome machine... 460le went out so it's getting a nv4500 5spd swap. Anyways simple, clean, proportionate looking machines. Trucks after 95 started looking way too bloated and unnecessarily aggressive especially past 10 years.
I have a '86 Scottsdale and I agree with all of your points. Great video, very well put together great info. The cushion on my C10 and I'm 5'4 and my seat is slid all the way forward and my steering wheel is at about a 60 or so degree angle and my knee hits the steering wheel whenever I get in because of the thick seat cushion. -Very comfy though. Mine has 29,187 miles on it- I got it on 1/12/24, I'm the third owner and my dad was saying how it can't be original miles.
Chef's kiss. My favorite review thus far.
My Grandpa had one exactly like it when i was a kid. Same brown and white color. First year throttle body injection 350 in 1987. Rode like a cadillac. But it wasnt very powerful lol. It was around 200hp new. But we cruised in that thing all summer and i always got to drive 😊. He would listen to bluegrass music and drink beer while 14 year old grandson drove 😂. It was a different time back then. A good time!
My dad bought a 1988 S10 new. I still have it today. Restored it to like new with original 2.5 and 5 speed stick. Its my daily driver now
My first was a 1969 C10. Im looking for a 69 or 70 now to relive my high school days 😂
Anyhow...im done with modern trucks. I drive the 1988 Chevy S10 every day for its fuel economy and will be buying a C10 69 or 70...or maybe a square body...to make my full size truck when i need one. Id rather spend 25k on a good shape C10 or square and finish making it new again than spend money on a modern one. If for no other reason than they are FUN to drive! New trucks just arent fun to just drive
Bought my first square body in 2019 an 84 c10, Silverado trim, bought my second in 2022 a 91 blazer v1500 also Silverado trim. Sold the blazer may of 2023. Never selling my c10
I have the exact same truck. Mine is an 82 Silverado HD C20 big block truck. Red and charcoal grey. My dad bought it new. It’s not in as good of shape as your friends but no different other than interior color and body color. I have a 2500 Ram Cummins and the square body will pull everything it pulls. Also an original Alabama truck. I live 50 miles north of Mobile AL 10 miles east of I-65. Mine was used for hauling a cattle trailer and pulling a boat to the Alabama river.
They have heavy springs, so when you really step on it then it’s like okay here you go! and it just obliterates 16 inch tires
My 74 C-20 Cheyenne/Longhorn package 454/400.3/4 ton 8 lug,A/C power brakes,power steering,roll up windows,Bronze/white Crome Mags,BFs /Flow Masters ,TX🇱🇷
When you got over at 19:45 the guy in the rear view mirror got mad 🤣
My dad had one with 454 and he always said, 9 miles per gallon where it's loaded or empty.
Just purchased an 82 Silverado short box $6500 mint from an old guy I gave a jump start to helped him get home truck is easily worth 10 grand
Have an 84 three quarter ton with the sb 350. Thing will haul an tow anything I need it to do. Love workin in the winter with it.
73 was the first modern style GM truck. 78 Was the first real modern GM Truck with car like features available.
Very good content 👌 keep it up
Beauitful truck just exactly like my dads he bought new in 1987 but his is a 4x4 ! Keep it on the road !
I drive a low mileage barn find 86 C20 C6P as a daily driver. It is single tone Indian Bronze Metallic, with a vintage Ridge Rider Canopy.
I love these trucks. They're awesome
i owed over 100 square bady chevy &GMC Loved them bought and sold them fix them up body ,paint, eng my last one was a 90 Suburban !
Thank you for the information.
The good old rounded line series.
Spot on.👍🇺🇲
Very Informative
Красивый пикап. Я мало понимаю на английском языке. Если этот пикап ещё и с приводом на все 4 колеса то просто очарование!
more contents please.
like your style.
1987 was the last year for the square body regular cab pickups, but just on the half ton & three quarter ton models. The one ton regular cabs on the other hand were still in production up through 1989, & same with the crew cabs, Suburbans, K5 Blazers, & Jimmys except they stayed in production up through 1991.
Great Video - super informative. I just acquired my dad's 1985 C20 with 5.7L that he bought new. How do I determine if it is Heavy Duty?--is it in the VIN?
If you can find the RPO code sticker in the glove box or driver's side door jamb, one of the 3-digit codes on the list will be C6P. If the sticker is missing it's trickier. If there's no front sway bar, then it's definitely not an HD. If there is a front sway bar, it's likely an HD, but it was possible to option a non-HD with the swaybar so it's not a sure thing. Here's one document that is interesting but not super informative: www.xr793.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/1987-Chevrolet-Full-Size-Pickup.pdf and if you want a much bigger document that has all the specs and options and stuff I have it on pdf and I can email it to you, jaustinbell@gmail.com
And also obviously if you can find the GVWR listed on the door jamb sticker or anywhere else, HD will be 8600 lb, non-HD will be somewhere below 8000.
Brilliant !!!👏
Are you located in Hoover
Reupload?
It is, yeah, I decided the sound quality on the original was too poor due to how I amplified it.
Hello, the car for sale
YESSIR
I have an 85 and 2 parts trucks in my yard these things are a disease and you can’t get rid of them but it’s the best kind of desease with minimal side effects of jealous friends and neighbors and salty wife
Now do a 02 wrx that doesn't smell like vape juice
That would make a great firewood hauler
Your on the money bro
Dude u are 100 percent right
16:10 THE HEAVY DUTY MODLES HAVE 8 LUG RIMS VS 5. IT MEANS IT HAS A HEAVY DUTY REAR END.
Pretty sure all 3/4 tons have 8 lugs.
@@atomicautomobile8537 the heavy duty ones do the low duty trucks have 5 lugs
