never actually post anything about my truck but the problems it has so i figured i'd post some pictures and a lift of the parts/ things done to it.
it's a 1985 Chevy k20 3/4 ton 4x4. i am the 2nd owner of the truck. it has 57,000 miles on it original still with paperwork showing. i bought the truck when i was 16 as my first truck because my parents gave me a car that couldn't do what i wanted it to do (mud, dirtbikes, pull chicks). bought it for $2500 from a old man in Stockton,CA drove it all through highschool then the starter wire fried the fuse and it wouldn't start half the time and the fuse was stuck under the cab above the trans so i had to snip it and run a new wire. then it started to get a lifter tick, so i parked it and as a graduation gift my parents bought me a goodwrench gm350 crate motor and i just had to get all the accessories to complete the rest of the motor. now im 18 living on my own and spending all my money on it trying to build it lol. love my squarebody and wouldn't trade it for anything. it has too much sentimental value from working on it with my dad/ grandpa to taking the first girl i loved to he levi to fish and sleep in the bed with over summer. i found my dog in a field when i was driving to go hunting and now he is my current hunting dog that is badass. So that's my story about my Squarebody, love reading about everyone else's and seeing what they do to see what i can do to mine to change it up. enjoy - TJ
