Hey all,

Owned, built and maintained a '92 Silverado for the last 20 years, on fathers day a teenage girl managed to slam into my parked truck @ around 40 mph..

Wife told me to stop moping and build another truck, Always liked the squarebodies, so I picked up this 84 GMC. Body is a little rough, but it has a strong 400 sbc with a smooth shifting TH400 in it, the previous owner did a great job on the bagged suspension setup, I am looking forward to a bright future with this little gem.

Woman drivers right? No offense @AuroraGirl I'm sure your wheel skills are vastly superior to your peers.
I tend to drive fast and with little regard to my life when not near other cars But I am very attentive and have learned enough correction skills and also know my vehicles usually to be able to handle any situations
Most of them lol

Those pictures are hard to look at. I have a '93 OBS that is actually the nicest vehicle in my fleet. The OBS moniker causes me to pause because I remember when Dad brought the '93 home. It just does not seem "old" to me (but neither do the squarebodies).
I always liked them but never thought they would gain the following that they have.

Welcome! That sucks about your 92, looks like you had some work into the baby! I dig the tail lights, well the whole truck for that matter!!

Lemme guess, young chicky needed to check her FB/TicToc/instagram/bank account...etc...? Unreal, pretty sure by the looks of the picture, that is not a 40mph zone either....

Nice 84 too. By the way, you have good reason to mope around, I would be doing the same!

She was probably using the typewriter app on her not so smart phone, lucky she didn't murder anyone while she was typing what must have been a really important letter.
