Re: How long have you owned your square body

I've had a square for 20yrs now. My 74 was purchased from the insurance money received when my Bronze 68swb was totaled. The 74 got spare parts that were not in current use to keep costs down.

The 74 was traded in '10 for my dually. It's been rebuilt & is as LS powered Pro-Street truck now unbelievably still wearing the same paint/body. The dually underwent some changes as well....

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

Re: How long have you owned your square body

I've owned this truck since Sept. 2014. I've owned thirteen squares over the years but, this is the first factory BBC 454 short bed I've owned.

Re: How long have you owned your square body

Had it 20 awesome years! Other Brand trucks have come and gone, but this one is an extension of me! It has done **** I can not necessarily believe or divulge! The wife keeps telling me to buy a newer truck. This one is paid off, fits me well, and keeps pushing through!

Re: How long have you owned your square body

As mentioned I have owned mine for 25 years. I never heard of a Sport before I bought it. I have only seen three (3) sports since I have owned mine. Making them in my eyes very rare. Pretty cool.

Factory Guy-I see you are from Kansas, also. What area? Good looking truck. I had a 74 half-ton chevy that was the match to yours. Wish I had it back!!
