Hey everyone,
I just got my first square body!!!! I've wanted one for a few years and finally came across a deal I couldn't refuse. 100 bucks. Now I know you must be thinking what kind of POS did I get for 100 bucks. Its not that bad haha. It's an 86 sierra classic shortbed. I will post pics as soon as I figure out how. If there is a link to how to post pictures that would be appreciated.
As for me I live up in Cold Lake, Alberta. I will be starting to work on this truck over this winter. I will be starting a build thread from dissasembly to finished product. So far I am thinking a mild static drop( I'm not one for 22in rims and scraping pavement), and either a mildly built 350 and 700r4, for less gas consumption, or a big ole 454. Going to square away the chassis before I get started on the engine.
Any tips for navigating this site or some good faqs would be appreciated.
