[john55]

Cost not being a factor, What would be your Ultimate Squarebody choice.

Year model, power train and suspension set up, body style, and features.

Just dreaming .........

73-87, 73-91 hd, suv.

So, my 3 choices would be, from 3rd best to 1st best. All will be 89-91 for mini-quad grill, and TBI motors. (Could settle for 87 up and convert to Mini Quad Grill) Interior Color choice, Charcoal Gray, 2nd choice, Light Gray. Exterior Color would be very open, not as picky there, especially since the 2 color choices I'd like are not OE Squarebody colors and if I was to paint it, it would not be an OE color. All choices would be lifted 6in on 35's, Crossover Steering and Silverado/Sierra Classic.

#3 89-91 V30 Crew Cab SRW 4x4 with TBI/4L80-E/NP205, (Either 91 or convert 89-90 to 4L80-E) 4.10 or 4.56 Gears, 14b FF/Dana 60.

#2 89-91 V20 3/4 ton Burb with TBI/4L80-E/NP205 Same as above. Bucket Seat, Barn Doors or Tailgate with power glass either one, and Rear AC. Front Axle Converted to Dana 60.

#1 89-91 K5 Blazer TBI/Manual or Auto Trans/NP205. Would be converted to 14b FF/Dana 60, A833 4 speed manual w OD if OE w/SM465, or 4L80-E if it was OE 700r4.

Mmmmmm..... 55 chevy delivery truck 2 door on 35s with 3.73s on 2500 frame compounded with bw s300/s400 twins on a HO 24 valve cummins with edge live. An allison 1000 or an 4r110 .Massive steel cattle push bumpers front and rear with Tan interior, heated seats, front and rear AC. Wood back floor. I'm thinking old sckool satin black with a linex undercarriage and some green pin striping. A bench seat, a brunette, a red head, and a case of bud. That son is how ya dream.

Sounds like a damn cool build, but it's not a Squarebody. That could be another thread though. Cost not a factor, what OTHER truck would you have. My choice there, and probably the only thing I'd do with a square for, a 64-66 GMC Panel (Non Window) Street/Strip Truck that ran mid to high 11's in the 1/4.

Tow Pig Status - 76 CC LB Dually with a Cummins, Air Helper bags out back to keep it from squatin, Gooseneck hitch, full leather interior with colder than cold AC, mini fridge front and rear (where center seat would be), cruise control and pretty much all the other modern conveniences that a new truck would have, as well as looking bad ass with a slick classic 2-tone paint job with modern finishes (candy's and pearls not sure which one)

Daily Driver - 86 RC Step bed, 6.2L Vortec, auto, leather... all the ******** a new truck has... air bags and 22's (lets face it if your gonna drive it everyday then 22 is the biggest you wanna go) color or finish? **** if i know... probably just a basic white


and then my 81 will end up as a gasser...

[Old77]

Here recently I've been dreaming of a 73-79 burb with drivetrain and interior from an 07+. slightly lowered on rally rims!

 

[crazy4offroad]

Mine would be a K5 set up and equipped to go anywhere and be unstoppable. When the order of society breaks down I don't want anything to slow me down when I retreat to the farm! My truck is practically there now but I would rather have the back seat to be able to bring a couple more people along with me.

And be able to take the top off, so the couple other people can be plinking off Zombies while you drive.

 

[Kapdin]

you forgot the front mounted v-plow.

 

[crazy4offroad]

Laugh if you must, but the wife was quite impressed after the June wind storm at how the truck could run over or drive through any and all downed trees that were in our way. I should add, impressing her with anything to do with the truck is hard to do.

 

[Kapdin]

lol, i feel ya. to mine its always refered to as "that old crap" or why don't you save for a NEW truck.

 

[Magnum44357]

I'd like a 1973 K10. Dark, Midnight Blue, with 2 Black Stripes up the hood over the roof and down the tailgate. about 20k in parts and a 12,000lb Warn accompanied by some sick bumpers and rocksliders. Plus a warm passenger seat

 

[towjoe]
