How about a NEW squarebody?

[Snoots]

People need trucks, and (most) people have no choice but to buy new. Besides, most people are brainwashed to think new is better.

Tide Pod eaters.

According to the Consumer Price Index a $50,000 truck today is $9000 in 1973 money.

Hmm..
In 1973 my dad was making $11 an hour doing HVAC work. Dad bought a new '73 square plain jane... 2x, 307, 3 speed on tree, armstrong steering, painted bumpers... paid something like $2200 cash. This was in Chicago. I learned how to drive in this rig.

That sounds about right. In Canada 1978, a fully loaded Silverado 4x4 shortbox was 10K.

With B-body bonus!

Another note, company/fleet trucks tend to be kept cleaner these days.

My wife saw one a few weeks back and she liked it. I said it is the same thing as mine just has a stepside bed on it. She said it's not a box. I'll give her that one. They are cool, just can't haul as much as a fleetside can.
