  • Another 🔥 hot August day in Texas roaming the wrecking yard we find another GM Square Body truck that just came out. This time its a 1979 Chevy Scottsdale 10 Diesel long bed. I had time for a quick walk around as my phone was overheating aling with it being almost closing time. Overall it didn't look like a rough truck but by now the engine amd transmission were gone and the interior had been gine through. Still a few good parts left i would think before it ultimately meets the crusher.

    Back when a truck was a truck and people could actually afford it. LOL.

    Classic lines, shame to end up there. Hopefully it will keep others on the road. Better than seeing it crushed.

    Whoa Nelley, oil burner and at one time, it was a head turner.
    Yes, 1979 model year with the VIN for the win: C for Chevrolet, C for 2WD, Z for 5.7L (350 CID) V8 diesel, Oldsmobile produced, option code "LF9", 1 for 1/2 ton rated, 4 for cab and pickup box, 9 for 1979 model year, S for St. Louis, MO assembly and the rest is the production sequence. The St. Louis, MO plant in 1979 would also have produced the Corvette. It closed in 1986. Exterior paint is code 43 Shamrock Green as stated on the SPID. I don't think it had a tachometer originally as RPO code "Z53" is for oil, temperature, and voltmeter gauges. This was probably a nice truck when it was new.
    Whoa Nelley, a square and there's none to compare. That's it, time to quit. Shamrock Green used to look mean. 350 and gotta go. Square body not looking too shoddy. Going to be flat and that's that. Paint code 43 and it's over for thee. Going to get squished and all of the square body faithful, many here, probably not Benny, but you betcha the Google Man are going to be pissed.

    Bennie, I'm going to make a little money because of this video. Swap meet today guy had a squarebody grille out and I remembered the first thing you looked at on this one was if the grille was broken or not. So I looked his over and nothing was broken. When he told me $10 I couldn't get the money out fast enough. Turns out its a 73-74 grille and should bring at least $100. I just have to go find a big TV box to use to ship it with.

    Shamrock Green but the luck of the Irish couldn't help this squarebody. I had a few squarebody Chevys back in the day and NEVER thought they would ever be worth what they are these days. There was a time when you couldn't give these away.

    You know what Benny if it did have a factory tach it would be for a diesel only. You couldn't use it in a regular gas engine truck.
