How about a NEW squarebody?

[Stewzer55]

I wonder if there's a set of camper mirrors with a bag of self-tappers in side one of those 3/4 or ton trucks.

I kind of wonder if that brown '79 Caprice there is the one my dad bought new. It was built at Janesville.

I loved those cars. Didn't care for the gutless powertrain, but the ride was off the chain. So damn smoothe. Didn't corner all that fantastic but otherwise was like riding on a cloud.

Did someone say self tappers @89Suburban ??? I think they did. Someone said self-tappers.

Dad ordered the car with all the good stuff. 350 engine, F41 suspension, gauge package, etc. It wasn't a rocket, but got out of it's own way and handled decently too.

You lucky dog, we had a six cylinder Phord Fairmont! Don't know if it was "detuned" but it was painfully slow. And Houston traffic already sucked, 40 years ago.....

LOL...

I don't recall what ours was, but it was a station wagon and it would get filled up with 4 students and the teacher. Then we'd go driving around the valley taking turns who got to drive or sit in the back, and the teacher was not afraid to use the extra brake on his side if you driving like a dink. It was usually the girl classmates that got the teacher's brake applied...lol...

Doing three point turns in the boat on a 20 foot two-lane road was fun.

Just did a search, it was either an big Impala or the smaller LeBaron. I think it was the LeBaron or something similar, but it was still challenging to three-point turn that sucker on that narrow road.

I have had my 67 Buick Riviera parked next to the K25 and they are almost exactly the same length. Thing is long as heck. Rides like a dream though and plenty of power with the high compression 1970 455 in it.

I want Santa to bring me this for Christmas.....
I'd say those trucks weren't going to the southern US, since they don't have tinted windows. We put some solar mesh cloth on the big side windows on our '79 Burb, and the '84 and '90 had factory dark tinted windows.

My '97 OBS crew cab long bed is 21 feet long. I imagine a square body CCLB is about the same....
But the mid 70s Lincoln Town Cars are longer than a square body Burb....
That long wheelbase is a b!tch in town, especially in tight turns or narrow streets. On the highway it's a very stable rig, even empty.

Deep tinted glass wasn't available until at least 1982.
