When I was in high school you could still buy them new. The only square body I could afford then was an old '72 International, LOL.

GMC91 · 12-03-2009, 01:07 AM

Im in 11th right now, and Im doing a frame up restore on my 86 3/4 ton 4x4. Hope to have it doen for my senior picture. But right now I drive a 91 short step.

I was rolling the 78 when I was in High School, everyday!!

402BigBlockSUB · 12-03-2009, 01:28 AM

Senior Year. A total of 4 different trucks since I could drive. The square bodies have been the best. Lots of fun and memories made. 1985 and 1987

thirdstreettito · 12-03-2009, 01:56 AM

Im on my 3rd truck in the past year. 16 about to be 17. Bought my first at 15. Right now driving my dads 83 burb while my 84 k10 is in the shop.

Me too. Still have it, almost sold/traded it three times. Glad I didnt now...

This is how it looked shortly after I graduated.

Justins76 · 12-03-2009, 03:32 AM

Still have it 15 years later.

mhicks · 12-03-2009, 09:10 AM

Still have mine 33 years later. Actually it was my dad's when I was in High School and I bought it from him about 5 years ago. I dated my wife in it then and still married!

Wild83C10 · 12-03-2009, 09:24 AM

Bought mine when I was 16 (got my license when I was 17, NJ) and I still have it 15 years later. Drove it every day in HS then when I came home on the weekends from college. Once I graduated it became a weekend driver.

flamingbig10 · 12-03-2009, 09:31 AM

I drove mine when I was in school

Jonboy · 12-03-2009, 09:39 AM

My 75 Blazer I had in HS finally succombed to cancer about 10 years ago. There really wasn't much left. That one was probably my favorite square body, and I had it the longest. I bought it from the original owner, who used to live around the corner from us.

J_PEPIN87 · 12-03-2009, 09:42 AM

I got mine when i was in 10th grade and drove through senior year.

Silence86 · 12-03-2009, 11:04 AM

im a senior in high school and i drive my 86.

i was supposed to drive it sophmore year but i didnt get my license till that following year. then the year i get my license (jr year), someone descide to drive into the back end and overall total my freshly finished truck. FINALLY my senior year is here, and i finished the 86 just a week before school starts, and i love it!

shenk10 · 12-03-2009, 01:27 PM

What kind of headlights are on your truck silence86? They look like HID's. I graduated highschool last year and my weekend driver is a '82 swb with a 305.

Pyrotechnic · 12-03-2009, 01:52 PM

This was mine back in high school. After I graduated it got hit head on and it was totaled. Had a lot of good times and good memories with this truck.

TexasJeff · 12-03-2009, 01:59 PM

Here is one I had in High school, and it was my first restoration project.
Not a square body, but a truck.

SlickSierra77 · 12-03-2009, 03:03 PM

Drove mine all through high school. Still a work in progress. Here is how it looked when i graduated.

steemin_ehman · 12-03-2009, 03:04 PM

Bought my truck the summer i got my license... 16 yrs old. it may look like it's in good shape in the pics, but there was literally an inch thick of fiberglass filler over a badly dented cab, and rust holes i could fit my fist through in both rocker panels. Started the father/son project at 17, failed to get it done for my grad, but got it "done" the following spring!! i LOVE it. still got er... this is the only pic i have of when i bought it

...it continues to be a project.
