Makes me miss my old square body. 79 with 7 inches of lift and 40" mudders. In the 25 years that i owned it it was stuck one time. Slid off in a water hole and there wasn`t no bottom.
Hello from Oklahoma! Good Video! Thanks! I'm an old man now, still do a bit of 4wheelin'. But I remember the days when you'd thrash your truck till it broke then work on it all week so you could get back out there next weekend. Looked like a fun day. Thanks for the fun!
I miss all of my square body Chevy's. All mine went from 73-86. 87 was the 1st yr for fuel injection, so I stayed away from those. I'm trying to find an older chevy suburban so I can haul my workers. 73-86 is what I'm looking for
Love the squarebody's I've got two of my own av78 swb SM465 / NP205 6 inch lift on 35s 10 bolt front 12 bolt rear and an 86 M1009 CUCV K5 ,6.2 diesel JCode th400 10 bolt front and 10 bolt G80 rear 2.5 inch lift on 33s i usrd to off-road alot but all my buddies are on restriction now and cant go any more
As a 55 year old, life long mechanic and overall "car guy" I've owned many vehicles. One thing Ive had alot of experience with but never actually owned is a square body Chevrolet. I've had my hands on them since I was single digits old but have never actually owned one of my own. I'm ashamed of the fact that I don't currently own a pickup truck of any kind, never thought that would happen but here it is June of 2024 and if I have to move anything at all I got to call somebody who does have a truck. My last truck got seized in a property seizure after being sued over getting ripped off on a property deal gone wrong. Such a long stupid story and an attorney keeps telling me I'm supposed to be getting back my 2002 Duramax crew cab short bix back but I will believe it when I see it. Anyway, with all that said, for quite some time I've wanted a clean square body Chevrolet with a vintage 1973 grille. Ideally it would be a K30 and my dream is to power it with one of the many 455 Oldsmobile powerplants I currently own. For me the dream is to build a "perfect" off road and capable tow vehicle with all the classic "good stuff" like a divorced cast iron transfer case 4x4 with a manual trans. When completed it will be capable of towing 15k with ease, shake down 18mpg unloaded and at least 10mpg hauling the weight. A modern efi system would help with that goal. Parts availability should be of relative ease and parts failure should be far and few in between. Currently it's just a dream. Being disabled doesn't help matters one bit...but if there is one thing a man can have and that is a dream.
Sitting in the Garage by the 6.0 I just finished building. Hearing them bouncing off The rev limit is actually hurting my stomach. Maybe it was the second chicken samich🤔
I was thinking right away looks like east coast then when they all started talking I new it was NS and I’m pretty sure I saw that Bluenose licence plate lol!!
Would have like to have played with you guys. Had. '78 GMC shortbed 4×4. Last of the regular gas trucks. Dropped a '69 427 in with solid lifters. Hooked onto 3spd on the tree, lol, with 3.07 gears. 32 × 11.50 BFG mudders. No lift. Pretty fun in snow covered motorcycle trails and 140+ on hwy.
@@BurninGas8.1 Yeah. Had a lot of fun back in the days before cell phones. Lol. Had more than one mud covered guy knocking on my door. No winch, but a long strap would get them out of the pond when they fell through the ice. Sometimes we had to hook 2 trucks together to pull the third out. Have fun while you can!👍
When I had my 4x4s I stayed on the sidewalk so I wouldn’t get stuck. LoL Since you’re already there Can someone please cut down a Christmas tree for me? 😊
I never gave a fuck about different truck brands (they all have good looking year models). I care If you give er hell or not. they indeed gave er hell son
@@BurninGas8.1 crap!! I'm overhauling a 5.3 right now for my nephew's truck and now I hate those motors......they have plastic parts in them!!! But they do rip! My old k5 has a mild 350 4 bolt...I'll run it til it dont lol
i got a 79 cheyenne short box full option truck 4x4 with Quadro traction with only 35,000 miles on it 100% stock 400/400 turbo best part i got it free because it did not run all it needed was a new fuel pump and carb cleaned. but i also have a bunch of rust free pu's with no engines or trans just good clean bodies since i got the short box now i am not going to build one like i was going to do. i all ready have a street truck a 68 chevy with a stroke 454 in it with a 02xx trans so no need to build a street truck out of the square body trucks. i do have lots of other projects to work on like my next is a 79 z28 rs t top camaro have all the parts for it plus 2 extra z28 camaros so i can build a perfect body for it no dings
@@BurninGas8.1 that's cool, let me rephrase what I had said, they need to upgrade to the 1 ton axles instead of the 3/4 ton axles. These trucks look awesome and sound damn good
If it wasn't for the explosion of Toyota crawlers and all the aftermarket support, people would still be wheeling old fords and chevys. They are still good for mud, but they don't crawl and do some of the other things Toyotas, jeeps and Suzuki samurai's do.

I've owned roughly a dozen square bodies, and they were all great trucks. With that being said, new trucks are 10x the truck a square body ever was. That's why so many square bodies are LS swapped and a have a newer 14 bolt rear axle. New trucks are superior in every measure other than ease of lifting and looks, which are subjective. New trucks have more power, tow more,haul more,get better fuel economy, ride better, are quieter, turn sharper, have more gears to keep the engine at the perfect rpm, they stop better, they have better mirrors, they have less wind noise, they have better insulation, they have defrost that works, they have better wipers, they have better mirrors, they have better stereo's, etc. My 06 IFS truck has 275,000 miles on it and all I've done is a water pump a one coil. To get those many miles out of a square body it would have had half a dozen cap and rotors, a couple ignition modules, probably a whole distributor or rebuild, 3-4 water pumps, a couple starters , at least one trans or clutch, probably two, a couple fuel pumps, a timing chain, etc. And it would have had less power, got worse gas mileage, and drove worse the entire time.
