Re: How many Squarebodies have you had

Looks like I have some catching up to do, based on some other posts.
3
73 C20 454/400 - best one of the lot but it became unsafe to drive due to rust
76 C20 Scottsdale 350/350 - nicest appearance but real slow and a gas hog
83 C20 Silverado 454/SM465 - now a dump conversion, ate a lot of money

Re: How many Squarebodies have you had

Now own #4 and #5.
First one 1982 C20
Second 1983 C10 Silverado LWB
Third 1989 Suburban R20 454
Fourth 1985 C10 Silverado Extended Cab conversion (Currently for sale)
Fifth 1990 Suburban V2500 Silverado (current and will keep!)

I took the body off my 82 and 83, and swapped them around. Junked what was left of the 83 and built a nice 82 C20. I owned that truck for over 10 years. Lot's of memories....

Re: How many Squarebodies have you had

A 73 short bed fleet
A 77 short step that turned into fleet
A 78 short step that my dad bought new and my brother owns now and just bought a 91 crew cab.

On a side note the 77 was cannibalized to build my 73

Re: How many Squarebodies have you had

I'll start with my dad's friend: 1976 C10 swb stepside , mariner blue, bought new, he still owns it.

My dad bought new a 1979 K10 swb, sold it a few years later

Uncle had a 1975 C10 longbed for his construction business, moss gold, sold it in early 80's

Other Uncle had a 77 longbed, brown, don't know when he got rid of that one

Family friend bought a 84 C10 Silverado, longbed new. I knew of the truck up to 2001, my brother had it and offered to me for free but I had to turn down. I loved that truck too. Two tone blue.

Now on to mine, the above trucks started it all for me.
74 C10 Custom, swb....totaled, not my fault
87 R10 Custom Deluxe, swb.....sold, too much rust
78 C10 Silverado, swb......recently sold

I've only owned three, eventually will have number 4 when the time is right

So far it appears most of us have somewhat of an addiction.

Re: How many Squarebodies have you had

I agree that the square body trucks are addicting. I stop myself all the time from getting on craigslist and buying another one. Haha.

I got my first square body at the age of 15. 16 years later and I'm still in love with the style.

I've owned, in order:

1973 Custom 20 longbed 2wd
1986 Scottsdale long bed 4x4
1980 Scottsdale short bed 4x4
1978 Silverado short bed 2wd diesel (Still have it)
1978 Silverado long bed 2wd diesel (Still have it)

Re: How many Squarebodies have you had

A funny thing about my 1987 GMC 3/4 ton was it was basically a dog house , the owner had her dog living in the cab and it had a big hole in the drivers seat where the dog would sleep and it was wretched smelling to the point of nauseating , I had to replace the seat and just sprayed out the interior with Febreze and and left the windows open for months t still wreaked for years after words .

Re: How many Squarebodies have you had

I still have both of mine, a 73 Suburban and a 76 K20. I am debating the sale of the 76 because of smog here. I am trying to get down to owning just 2 vehicles to smog every 2 years and the rest of the fleet being smog free. Seriously considering swapping the 4x4 stuff into my 71 C10 and selling the 76.
