    Some Suburbans & Trucks

    I guess they hold their value well! Especially in that kind of condition.

    Some Suburbans & Trucks

    I did find a few with the 8.1 which would have been awesome, however those particular ones came with a price tag too! I got this '01 for an amazing price, and a 3 ring binder of every service it ever had. Honestly if I was a dink, I could have turned around and made around $4k on it....but I am...

    Some Suburbans & Trucks

    Last is my dads 50 Ford F-1, Flathead V8, 3 on the floor. I found this truck while coming back home one year from the Back To The Fifties car show in St. Paul, MN. It was along HWY 52, so I made a quick u-turn to run back and look it over. I called my dad right away, and that night we went up to...

    Some Suburbans & Trucks

    AND....the classics!!!!! This is my 51 Ford F-1 truck which is also in the process of another tear down. My dad had this truck when he was younger and drove the crap out of it. Traded it to my uncle for their mom's snowmobile (72 Cat Panther) many ages ago. FINALLY I got it back. I drove the...

    Some Suburbans & Trucks

    Then there is my first love, a 99 GMC Sierra Classic, which I soon found sucks to buy parts for because of the 99 GMC classic & new body style. So when ordering parts I soon learned just to say it was a 98! Here she is all dolled up & rust free with Boyd Coddington custom wheels, stainless...

    Some Suburbans & Trucks

    Here are some vehicles I used to own, some I still have. The white suburban was purchased by the Rochester, MN Fire Department. Later sold at an auction to the guy that bought it. He then wanted to sell it and I was able to get it. Brought my dad with me to look at it, he crawls under it and...

    Welcome, nice truck! I will be honest, I wish I could find my dads 78 Suburban he had....but, a guy has to do what a guy has to do.

    Hey guys newb here.

    Welcome from one Justin to another Justin :favorites37: You should be able to find a C10! I too like the round lights, and to go one further I like 78 and prior just due to the separate front signals from the headlight bezel. All of them are cool no matter what though! Welcome!

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Mine is put away for the season.....well, kind of. It is still in my shop, just pushed up against the wall now surrounded by vintage snowmobiles. I did keep the engine in its own spot so I can wrench on that this winter.

    Talk me out of buying a more reliable car please!!!

    Is this the 78 C20 listed in your avatar picture you are speaking about? You stated looking for a car, so here is my personal opinion: If you want a full size car, find yourself a 2000 to 2005 Chevrolet Impala. One with a 3.4 v6 will be around 28 mpg. One with a 3.8 v6 will be around 24 mpg...

    Questionable Engineering

    Isn't that truth AG!!!!! You just shake your head and wonder why they couldn't have made it simple too.

    Questionable Engineering

    Haha, now thats funny! I have called myself a dummy many times! But hey, I learn best from real experiences including my mistakes I have made!

    Questionable Engineering

    I feel your pain!!! I sometimes think these engineers get what skills they have from a book and not real life experiences. I do a lot of design/engineering at work, and it blows me away what people think is a good idea or even manufacturable for that matter! When I design items, and some that...

    Rescued another one!

    Even with the issues you mention, I still say VERY nice score on rescuing another square!!! In all honesty, the mechanical stuff doesn't sound too bad, might take a few dollars and some time. As for the engine being blown, I would be very curious about that because those 350's are pretty stout...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Sorry for derailing the square thread further.... Very cool! I like both of those Cubs too, isn't the 147 a wide frame and 127 the narrow? I didn't google it...going from what I can remember. Get that engine in that old girl and fire it up!! I will take my old cub over any new tinfoil big box...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Hey bucket, that is a ’74 or ’75 Cub 149 Hydro wide frame. She is mostly for my heavy work around the yard (I have around a 2,000 lb packing wheel) and I also plow snow with it, and last year I modified my QA-42 snow thrower for it (restored the thrower a few years back and I was not happy with...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Believe it or not, I have been working on the square :headbang: Heck, even tonight my wife sat in it on the back bench seat and said "this is going to be a sweet ride, I cannot wait to cruise in it"....so I think she is a keeper :Big Laugh: I put the tailgate on last week, and holy balls, the...

    8 bolt rims that are 16" & will fit hubcaps.....??

    You and me both!! It was just my luck that I end up with something weird. It was advertised as a 76 or 77 Chevy truck, had a chevy grill, horn button, but said Sierra Grande on the passengers side dash. When I was looking it over to buy it however I fell in love with the big thing and bought it...
