Hi all. The square body has always been my favorite truck and I just bought my fourth one as a semi-project that I intend to be my daily driver until they throw dirt on my face. After looking for about 10 months, I found one pretty much rust free in Tennessee. I went out there to look and liked it. I paid for it, filled it with gas and drove it home (18hrs). There is a story that goes with this but I will get into that. Inserted are a couple of pics. This is going to be a work in progress kind of deal and I have already done some things to it. Took pictures during the process and will start a project thread and kind of show and tell what I did. I don't claim to be an expert and would welcome any comments and/or advice as long as no one fusses worse than my wife does. Will post again either tonight or in the next couple of days. Glad to be a part of the forum!!

I love the "drove it home" stories. I only drove about four hours home (it is a three-hour trip in my car), and I was nervous most of the trip—the fuel gauge was well past full the whole time, the speedo was at 0 km, the muffler had a large hole, and most of my lights didn't work. There were back roads and gravel all the way back home. I had insurance and "In Transit" registration, so I was legal enough for Alberta.

Welcome to the site. They are the best bunch of Square Body enthusiasts and the biggest collection of knowledge/teachers/mentors I have found online yet.
