Nice squarebody on BaT

[BigT]

The seller replied to my inquiry about the undercoat: "Undercoat applied when new at dealer #218. Thanks".

Take it for what you will.

Huh, interesting

Nice truck, thanks for posting!

You can tell by the overspray on the eyelets of the leaf springs and the large area missed on the axle tube of the rear end that it's aftermarket paint/undercoat. Doesn't take away that it's a nice truck but would definitely wanna see it in person, like you said, to ensure that it's not trying to cover up an issue(s).

I only looked at a couple of the pictures, but it looks to me like the undercoat was applied with the intent to only cover the sheetmetal. What I glanced at looks to be an original frame coating, with frame rivets still in bare steel. The rear axle and springs look like untouched original to me. The bare spot on the axle probably didn't used to be there.

The dude that ordered that beautiful truck with a mile long bed should be neutered with no anesthesia, jus sayin!

Sold today for $30,759

And it would be a bear t

I don't have an account or I'd go in and ask what's up with all that black underneath. Completely ruins the value of the truck IMO

It would be a bear to get all that stuff off, of course then fix what it's covering.

Have you ever thought that maybe he wanted a better ride, or to be able to haul motocross bikes or 4'x8' sheets with the tail gate shut?
Or possibly wanted a truck to actually be used for work.

Well shiver me timbers !!! Purchasing a Squarebody for a nice ride is a strange new concept but I'll go with it ! Not to mention the economical value of the 4 slices of sheetrock you can haul in a C10 with the gate closed ! With the "original" 1600 miles and Home Cheapo being an average of 10 miles away he may have gotten his house sheetrocked if it was small ! $hit my K10 mini bed with 4" Skyjacker springs on all 4 corners and their best shocks rides like a "Cadilac" love that old school saying lmao... And "work" a Squarebody !!! Bite your tongue there fella, work and salt ruined 90% of them that's why they are now holy grail status ! My request would be for a wide body shortbed so I could fit my Scrambler in the back ! But sadly as my girlfriend loves to remind me it's not the 80's anymore kid you're not the steroid medicated gym rat Douche bag you once were, well maybe the second part, but at least you have your K10 so be happy... Haha sorry for the Douchism but not really

I'm not really sure what your point is here?

Lots of people bought a long bed 2wd for the benefit of driver comfort and more space in the bed. That's just how it is.

Also, most squarebody trucks were worked before they rusted out. I'm not sure what road salt has to do with anything.

Huh ? What ? Really ? Salt and liquid calcium chloride (even more corrosive) Is vehicle enemy #1 here on Uranus, which ain't too far from you Buckeye peeps and I know you spread the same $hit on your roads... Hell brand new vehicles here are popping rust holes about the time you make your last loan payment (especially Stellantis toilets) unless you hit the automatic + undercarriage wash @ $21 clams a pop every time they spread the vehicle poison, but hey the only thing I can say for certain is I only see one possible long bed in your list of super kool Squares...

Eh, you seemed to be talking about the price of tea in China lol.

There's two long beds in the fleet of squarebodies, but that's not by choice. We just happened to wind up with some deals on short bed trucks

 

[Fastduramax]

Good Lord bless you for ever finding a deal on a short box especially today and I need not talk about the RATS that are mostly responsible for this... And yes the price of tea in China is very concerning...

Another interesting GMSB conversation….
On that blue 1600 mile truck, fwiw the undercoating looks the same as both my 77 and 86 that appear to have gotten the added undercarriage protection plan for a “great deal today only” back in 1987.

 

[vr1967]

Wonder the reasoning for the 16gal tanks on the truck? I know GM did this from time to time on LWB trucks, but just curious
