Hey everyone! I'm new to the forum, posting from North Carolina. I have wanted a Square Body for as long as I can remember. About six months ago I finally decided to go for it. Man! Finding the right one was harder than I thought. Trying to balance the amount of rust versus the run quality versus the cost was almost overwhelming, but i finally found one i could live with.

I picked up a 78 K10 Cheyenne with 4 inches of lift and 33×12.50s. I'm not really into the big scale restoration stuff because I already have too many hobbies, but I'm sure I'll tinker with it from time to time. I don't have any pictures on my phone right now *duck* but I'll get some posted soon.

I think they're 16s but I'd have to check.

Funny thing is my dad bought a 78 brand new. I didn't realize that until I pulled in his driveway and his eyes lit up. It took him right back to his 20s (before us boys started coming along and he had to move to something more car seat friendly :33:).
