    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.

      Yeah I think he has the best show on the tube. I was in a bad accident broke my neck and back in 4 places and both shoulders my wrist and fingers and all my ribs on one side and now I am waiting for surgery. But with this pandemic and so on they said they’re put me in a body brace and all I can do is watch TV but I love this guys show. Sorry that I am saying all this. But hey Tim let everyone know oh your TH-cam channel sometime. Basically in your area or anywhere not too text an drive a young teenage girl was driving and she was texting and instead of hitting her and killing her I rolled my truck keep up the good work sir

    This truck most likely has a EST box behind the glove box insert.There are four wires coming from that box to the back side of the Dist.Remove the wires and replace the 5 pin module in that dist.with a 4 pin and you will a much better running truck,,I hope this helps some folks ,somebody told me about the change,thought I would pass it along
