Square body fever

[Marshwalker]

Hi Yall!! I'm glad to stumble across a forum like this. I am to a point where I'll be shopping for a "new to me" truck pretty soon and have always wanted a square. Will need to haul a boat and have 4wd... I know there are many things to learn and many options to think of prior to passing cash and turning wrenches... so I'll try to read a bunch before asking to many dumb questions. Anyhow..I'm from south Louisiana.. Work in the maritime industry... And love hunting and fishing.

Thanks for the welcome Yall!! Ogre, I've been creating mental wish lists similar to that one for a bit..lol they just about drive me crazy when I see part of it for sale somewhere.. In my head I've torn down a few 350's, LS1's, 4bt's and 6bt's ... They all sound good runnin until I wake up and realize I haven't bought the truck yet!!! lol
