Huge fan of this site. While its not a pick up it still is a squarebody! 1988 r30. 454 4-speed. Over the years ive done a ton of work to her. Built this in my driveway.Did all welding, bodywork, painting myself. Dont use it for commerical work. just a proud owner. There are still a bunch of things id like to do but in the meantime, shes road worthly and runs great. New rear springs are next on my list. since these pics i replaced all rear tires...very pricey!!! Always thought it would be cool to own my own tow truck. i have many questions about different aspects of the truck but before i get to that i figured id post a few pics

Welcome! That's a beautiful truck. I wouldn't mind having a tow truck myself. Probably be pretty handy.

Hotrod will be all sorts of excited. Haha
