    Great looking truck I like square body better than any truck out there they're super easy to fix and they're really easy to make show winning trucks out of been restoring 1082 Chevy long bed myself they are such fun trucks to drive and to restore if I had a little extra cash on me I probably would be asking how much you want for it Square bodies are King in my book I love both long beds and shorts great video and I hope you have fun.

    This truck most likely has a EST box behind the glove box insert.There are four wires coming from that box to the back side of the Dist.Remove the wires and replace the 5 pin module in that dist.with a 4 pin and you will a much better running truck,,I hope this helps some folks ,somebody told me about the change,thought I would pass it along

My friend just got one and it has 5/7, wide tires that rub and they took out the smog pump for a couple of horses more--pointless!! The prior owners were ground apes!
