Re: Craigslist find...the Holy Grail of squares - NOT MINE
It’s been a few years of restoration and it’s almost done. It turned out about as original as I could keep it.
Thanks again Mr. Chevy ! https://i.postimg.cc/kGW7XpH4/940-A8...32125-B4-D.jpg |

Re: Craigslist find...the Holy Grail of squares - NOT MINE
Wow, that's a beauty! This thread is funny to read. People all caught up in their own ideas of what's rare, the holy grail, uncommon, and what they would (or wouldn't) want. All mixed up together. That said, a great thread based on its outcome. The real purpose is making people aware to connect a member with a good truck. And that's exactly what happened! Would you be willing to disclose what you actually paid for it at that time? Also, it sounds like you have done a lot since then, so maybe you can tell us what you've done to it.

Re: Craigslist find...the Holy Grail of squares - NOT MINE
LT, I’ll share more and give details a bit later.
I did pull the original 120,000 mile 350 out and had it professionally rebuilt. It was just puffing a bit of smoke (but ran great) on start up but I wanted it done right so it’s a numbers matching truck. Thanks y’all for the compliments Quote:

Re: Craigslist find...the Holy Grail of squares - NOT MINE
…so, had the cab corners and rockers been replaced as a few posters suggested?
Great looking truck. I like that you kept it stock height with stock wheels. |
Re: Craigslist find...the Holy Grail of squares - NOT MINE
The body guy was shocked, it has all original sheet metal, no rust and no bondo, no replacement sheet metal, ever. It had never even been painted before except for a few touch up areas. It is a true mileage truck, now around 120,000.

Turned out great. Love that you kept it stock (mostly). Reading through this thread now is pretty funny. What would your truck as you purchased it go for now? $13-15?

Re: Craigslist find...the Holy Grail of squares - NOT MINE
after all the arguing in this post a few years ago on the asking price nowadays that truck will easily bring 3x-4x what it was originally listed for in today's prices. ;)

Re: Craigslist find...the Holy Grail of squares - NOT MINE

Re: Craigslist find...the Holy Grail of squares - NOT MINE
Nice! How many miles when sold? Beautiful truck. i don't think if i was lucky to have one like that I could of sold it. I bought a 87 Silverado fleet short 4x4 350 auto new , had what I think was most of the options I could order, oh the single days lol, no plow package this truck wasn't doing any plowing, that I remember telling the dealer lol. The one option I couldn't get was the big block it was a K10, i was told no, can order only in C or K 20 30 for the big blocks, I was bummed. Out the door back then $19,500.00 Sure miss that truck. Stolen ten months later. Just rambling now.

Total original miles on the truck, about 124,000. 3-4000 on the numbers matching rebuilt engine.
