MY 79 black silverado k20 owned for 23 years since 1996 //77 gmc k3500 bought it in 2009 from a guy who owned it since 1980

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....

I also have my dads 63 Corvette that he has owned for 45 years.

I've had my 78 since I was 16 in high school back in 97.

I've owned this truck since Sept. 2014. I've owned thirteen squares over the years but, this is the first factory BBC 454 short bed I've owned.

Since 2005 and built with bits and pieces from the 77 I've had since 1990 ish

Had it 20 awesome years! Other Brand trucks have come and gone, but this one is an extension of me! It has done **** I can not necessarily believe or divulge! The wife keeps telling me to buy a newer truck. This one is paid off, fits me well, and keeps pushing through!

chrismoore701 · 12-04-2019, 10:15 AM

As mentioned I have owned mine for 25 years. I never heard of a Sport before I bought it. I have only seen three (3) sports since I have owned mine. Making them in my eyes very rare. Pretty cool.

Dad bought mine new in 83 from my grandfather's GMC dealership.

Factory Guy-I see you are from Kansas, also. What area? Good looking truck. I had a 74 half-ton chevy that was the match to yours. Wish I had it back!!
