The square body crews are also rare but are not as hard to find. Here are some pictures of long bed crew cabs. Not mine.

Love the crew cab long beds!!!!

To each their own I guess, I really like the aftermarket grille. Much more than the stocker on that particular truck.

I only put the GMC one on there to keep people from getting to the hood release, It was taken off when I got the aftermarket tube grill besides my truck is a Chevy not a GMC

1985ChevyK20 · 03-23-2011, 10:09 PM
