On this page you can post up ideas about what you want to do to a squarebody, or what you think would look awsome.


Heres Mine:

What do you guys think about a standard cab shortbed Dually?
Put about 6" lift under it
35's side by side in the back.
I like the idea. Anybody have any thoughts to contribute?

I've seen that done a couple times.

I think it would be cool to convert one of the old airport limo Suburbans to a lifted 4x4.

My dream square is a 1986 4wd crewcab shortbed with a Cummins and a 6-speed. 4" lift and 35's. Maybe painted mineral gray or gunmetal gray.

I've got a few different "dream squares". One of them I already have in my '77 although there's still some things I'd like to upgrade on it at some point in the future. I'd like to do an LS swap on it, get the AC working, lower it a tad,..... Things of that nature but it's basically my dream square.

Another one would be a square Burb with minimal exterior mods but having the interior and drivetrain from an 07-13 Burb. I've got it all laid out in my head how it could be accomplished. It's just a matter of the time, space, and money to do it. Ideally it'd be a 2wd burb (although I'd take a 4wd if it had a clean enough body) and do a slight drop on it but other than that keeping the exterior stock. If it was a 4wd then I'd probably go with a mild lift of like 3" or so.

Another one I'd love is a 2wd crew cab. I'd like to do an LS swap on it as well but instead of the 5.3 get a 6.0 or a 6.2. That equals considerably more $$$ but I think the added power would make it worth it. I would paint it a dark green with some nice 20's or 22' with a 2/4 drop. Upgrade the interior similar to my '77 with the interior out of a '99-'06 crew cab with a GMT400 steering wheel and a decent stereo system but one you can't really see with the naked eye that sounds very nice inside the truck but not necessarily hear it or feel it outside. :drool:
