Four doors are the bomb, how else ya gonna take yer buddies around cruising?
Way back in the 70s we had an occasion to have four across in the seat of Dad's 75 GMC Sierra Classic C15, and it was a bit cozy. Was in the winter, and everyone had to take their coat off and stuff behind the seat, before getting in. A long trip from Austin to Abilene and back....
I guess all the square body Burbs with buckets got me spoiled, but I'd rather not have anyone jam up against me anymore. Brother is taller so he gets shotgun, and I've got room in the back to be navigator and provider of snacks.
But yeah, square body crews used to be for moving workers to the jobsite; now in the Houston area you mainly see the OBS and NBS crews used for lawn/landscaping trailers. I see at least a couple of OBS trucks hauling lawn gear every week, great trucks for guys to get a company started with. Don't see too many squares being used for work trucks except at swap meets, decent ones are too pricey for that. When I used to have a route on the Eastside I would see a working square from time to time, usually clapped out but still somehow getting the job done.
