Re: How long have you owned your square body
Chris, your Blue Stepside reminds me of the truck my Dad had when I was a child. We called her Ole Blue.
My 86 SWD C10 I have, is going on 6 yrs now. First 2 photos are the day I got it. The next 2 photos, are my changes: Interior color change New wheels & tires Swapped out the Billet grille to a Stock Grille Swapped out Cowl Induction to a NOS hood, and got it painted last year. And added a New Hood Emblem. Last photo, is at the present time. The interior is going thru a few changes, again. I found some OEM seatbelts, so out with the aftermarket belts. I’ll be installing one of my “restored seats”. As you can see the seat have gone thru a few changes. And new Door Panels.

Re: How long have you owned your square body
My 81 I just finished restoring. My Dad ordered it new in 1981. Sold in 1986. I searched and found it in 2017. Restored it this year. Not going anywhere now.

Re: How long have you owned your square body
I've had a square for 20yrs now. My 74 was purchased from the insurance money received when my Bronze 68swb was totaled. The 74 got spare parts that were not in current use to keep costs down.
The 74 was traded in '10 for my dually. It's been rebuilt & is as LS powered Pro-Street truck now unbelievably still wearing the same paint/body. The dually underwent some changes as well....
