    Great looking truck I like square body better than any truck out there they're super easy to fix and they're really easy to make show winning trucks out of been restoring 1082 Chevy long bed myself they are such fun trucks to drive and to restore if I had a little extra cash on me I probably would be asking how much you want for it Square bodies are King in my book I love both long beds and shorts great video and I hope you have fun.

They usually ride and drive very good. The lowering shocks have never worked well for me.
