I am looking for an older square body pickup.
I prefer 3/4 ton long bed. But can be c10/20/30 regular,extended, crew cab,gas or diesel(no blow-by) or gas-depends on truck.
Doesn't matter if it's Chev,Ford. GMC or Dodge.
It does have to look really good and has to have been taken care of.
Cannot need any major repairs.But......I would consider any great pickup. I'm a senior citizen and will consider this purchase my last vehicle.

Good luck to you in search sir. If it in your price range, I would look at Gateway Classic cars. They offer running and driving (sometimes restored) classics. Personally I think they are expensive and I've never done business with them but I have browsed their website a few times just for jollies.

You shouldn’t have too much trouble finding what you want. Those parameters are on the more common side of the spectrum. If you were a little closer, I could point you to some places and help out, but you probably don’t need to look too far to get what you want.

There are a lot of places to look. Swap meets, car shows, craigslist, and google search for a specific truck. Sometimes just a scenic drive around may turn up something. Being not too far from Houston, you should find something possibly in a short period of time. Good luck.

Try looking at the ******** on craigslist thread. There's usually something nice on there.

Yeah, I don’t know how tech savvy you are, but you can download the CPlus for Craigslist app, select all the locations you want to search listings in, and type in “197* chev*” or “198* chev*” to get all the 1970-79 and 1980-89 listings for all Chevrolets. You can also do 197* and 198* GMC. You’ll see almost everything except the guy who listed his square as “Pickup Truck” and didn’t give a year or make in the description.
