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.

Re: How many Squarebodies have you had

lets see here. my dad bought the ramp truck back in the early 90's then sold it after he closed the junk yard. i remember many days of running that truck. tthen i got the c20 at 17 then a r10 burb sold that to my ex girl. then bought the ramp back then a k20 that was going to be for parts but sold that to a guy then my k30. so i have 3 as of now 5 over all. but thinking when the trucks are all done with paint and motors swaps (diesel nut here) i am thinking of doing some sort of long bed street truck or a short bed k30 for something diff

Two. But I've owned trucks from all the American manufacturers. Still an International Harvester guy at heart.

Re: How many Squarebodies have you had

73 Chevy K20 - Parts truck and hauled away for scrap (extreme rust other than axles)
76 K5 Blazer - Body rusted away and sold for parts.
83 GMC K20 - My very first vehicle. Still own (after 23 years), needs a full resto, and will never part with it.
83 GMC K20 - Traded.
87 GMC V35 - Dump truck and current project for the last 5 yrs. I'd sell it is between this and the 83 or if I run out of organs to sell.

Before I jump into the 83 restoration and after I finish the 87, I think a DD blazer build is something I'd still like to do.

I forgot one! I also had a 1987 K5 Blazer!

I've had 30 different cars/trucks over the years (not counting my wife's cars), so I forget which ones I've had sometimes. Aging does not seem to help this problem...
