Squarebody trucks quite frankly are timeless. Whether it be a beat-up farm truck, or a completely custom 12" lifted SEMA build, there's no doubt that the 1973-1987 Chevy squarebody trucks have one thing - character. In the past decade, we've noticed a growing affinity towards these trucks, in a similar sense as OBS Fords, especially amongst younger teens and adults, many of who weren't even born at the height of the trucks' popularity. In today's video, we're diving deep to figure out where the love for squarebodies came from in this comprehensive guide about squarebody trucks.

The ford boys dont know what theyre missing
No their building old square body Fords 60s 70s ...😂😂😂
@@burtbunns2270 lol true
F100s and broncos
I like to think that even the ford boys know how iconic and awesome the c10 is that they have an appreciation for it
@@burtbunns2270 I love how people take what what has always been something else and try to apply it to their crap. "squarebody ford"? what is that exactly? a dent side? a bump side? a 90's style? a squarebody has been and always will be a chevy.
i still think square body bench seat is the most comfortable seat even over new trucks
Yes
Big facts
And it lets your girl cuddle up to you while you're driving down that old highway

@@mr.nobody68 oh yea. They don’t know anything about that. Grown folk talk !
I just bought a square body dually so once it's built I'll put it in the gallery
I have two square bodies and a C70 I just bought
I've always had a square in my life. I currently own 5 of them and 3 are actually running. The other two are for parts lol.
2005 " get this shit off my lawn the AC stopped "
2021 " shit is freshy fresh who needs AC"
Finished my 1976 F250 build and now I just picked up a square body to build. Hoping to find a 1st gen ram with a 12valve after the square body is done.
Nothing like a square body!
I’ve got a 78 step side and get thumbs up/horn honks every time I take it out. Never selling it, used to be dads.
There’s no doubt these truck are my dream. Built one in high school with part time cash and I’m currently onto the next one. 😀
I drive a 1983 chevy scottsdale. It was my great grandpas before he passed at the age of 97. It was his prized possession and he couldn’t imagine his life without it. On his deathbed he was sorting out who all his stuff was going to and when it came to his truck he couldn’t give a name bc he didn’t want to imagine it gone. I feel undeserving of it but I will take care of it just as well as he did and i’ll never let it go. Only 83k miles on her.
Chevy Boy till I die. And my sons are already catching on.
Hell yeah teach him right
I think they're overestimating how much money will be spent on trucks this year. I mean...inflation, right?
I'm getting my permit to drive in a couple months I would love my first truck to be a square body me and my dad would probably do a rattle can camouflage on it hillbilly dream truck
Same just got my permit a couple of days ago and I bought a square body from a friend for $300
Good to know rattle can camo paint hasn't died
My first vehicle ever was an 82 K5 Blazer and is still my daily driver 10 years later. There’s a common respect and camaraderie when you drive down the road in yours and see another squarebody. It is hands down the most iconic body style out there and has one of the most supportive and diverse followings you will find.
I have a 1978 and it's amazing. The truck just refuses to die. I love the 78-85 squarebodys.
They stop in 87
@@aidenog7380 actually 91 but yes on the "trucks"
I just bought a 75 K5. They are definitely one of the best vehicles ever made.
Riding around in a fairly new K5 blazer with my mom and her friends.
Me and my brother thought it was A old truck, It was 5 years old, at max.
Hell could have been A 1990.
Square Body Blazer Suburbans and crew cab pickups continued on to 91 for those of you who are not swuarebodyaholics
I'm only 20 yo and I'm cruising a car more than twice my age, a 1978 pontiac firebird. Unfortunately not a transam
I got a square as my first truck, sold it, bought it back. Own it and have been putting money into it since 😂
Square bodies continued beyond 1987 with the 1-Ton C&C trucks (I have a 1989 dually 3500 4WD) and into 1991 in the Blazers/Jimmy's and Suburbans (I have a 91 GMC Jimmy). I bought my first square body brand new in 1987 (V-10)
I love them. I've had an 86 K10 Silverado, 81 K10 Scottsdale and now have an 85 k5 Silverado, and going Monday to buy an 81 k5 with a bunch of new parts 6 inch lift and small block 400, I can't wait.
Got 4 squarebodys, two k20s but different trims, c30 dually, and a k5, they will definitely be on the gallery sooner or later
I have a 88v30 square body crew cab gona get a duramax swap and hostile alphas
Don’t forget the Fall Guy truck!! Classic on TV for the time. My first when I was 15 was a 75 Longbed. Black with white steel rims.
Everyone notice how the bad ass old school trucks have white lettering and chrome rims? #SayNoToBlackWheels
I'm 18 and I have memories of my pa paws friends square bodies and Everytime I see one it makes me really nostalgic and want to get one
Get one while you can man. Even if you have to buy a pice of junk, parts of cheap and a available and it's a fun project. And the best part about that is you get to learn so much about it as you work on it.
Day 18 asking for a top budget wheels
I've owned an '82 GMC C2500 for 15 years that I drive four times a year to haul (bought it from a friend who regrets selling it). The body is straight, with the exception of a couple minor dings and rust spots. I had zero clue these trucks had become so popular. I was wondering why it has gotten looks lately when I've driven it, and a couple offers to purchase have been left on the windshield.
I like square body chevys
I hope one day we see a square body bills from y’all and I think you guys should do best square bodies from the gallery now since you made this fantastic video
The square bodies were produced from 1973 through 1991, except 1987 was the last year for the half ton & three quarter ton regular cab pickup models, & 1989 for the one ton regular cab pickup models.
Square bodys LS Swapped or Duramax Swapped
I have a 86 Silverado 4wd short bed that I drove when I was 16 and I still have it. Could have sold it a hundred times but I’m glad I didn’t. I doubt I would be able to replace it. Well very easily anyhow
My dad has a 1982 square body pickup it's a c10 really nice but the sad thing is that he is selling it.
My buddy has a tan custom deluxe, and it’s a super solid truck and he’s already put it through a lot, so cool to see old trucks like those still around
Had one 2wd long bed 350 4sp manual trans. Rally wheels “. Annoying Glass pack exhaust that I love🤣🤣🤣
Can we get a Obs Chevy next? C1500?
You forgot about 400 cu.in. 6.6 L. Small block option 😉
TRUTH. Had one in my C10 loved it
Love these videos mang. Im feeling pretty good about my 1985 chevy crew cab 4x4 dually camper special barn find. The story in its self would blow any square body junkies mind. Long story short and being a service plumber i merly asked the home owner if he had any old chevy small blocks laying around for i was wanting to build a motor with my teenage son. And he replied “yeah i have a 454”, and i then replied do you have a tractor or anything to load it into the back of my truck. He then replied “ no you have to take the whole thing”. Being confused i then said whole thing? He then pointed out to the back 40. There she was. Complete running with 93k and 20 k on a rebuild. new trailer breaks and running. Just gave it to me! Very straight with cherried interior. Came back a day later and drove it up onto the flat bed with clean title in hand and the rest is history. This was two years ago. I have since given her a 6”lift with 37” tires and black wheels. Its currently getting a 3/4 restoration to show quality. Stock blue paint with a bit more flak to give it some style. Its blacked out. Super dream find of a lifetime. She will come in at a very nice market price for these are super rare and hardly any for-sale. Only sell though if the price is right, but my son says “ no sale dad”. I said, ok buddy just for now.
Me and my dad just built my first truck and it is a 1985 c10 we painted it pearl white in our garage and we lowered it and put some 5 spoke riddler wheels on it. Really happy with how it has came out and I have massive plans for it in the future
I love the square bodies I have owned several but currently have 2 1 is my daily driver an 1 is my hotrod
On Tuesday I have a 74 Suburban k/20 being delivered.
That's what I said,...and less than 1500 ever made, 50 years ago!
71,000 on the clock, Yubba gold and white, and and even has a dealer mounted winch under the front bumper!
Ive had 2 squarebodys. Rusty hunks of junk.One was 4 years old with 38,000 miles and huge rust holes everywhere. Many had soft cams from the factory. I dont understand the hype. But i smile when i see a nice one! Just a rolling brick! No style compared to 62-72.
Absolutely love square body's
Just got a square body as my first truck best part is i get to restore is and make it my own “only negative is crackheads owned it before me and a syringe fell out when i cut the corner panel off”
Glad I found and Subscribed to this Channel because at 70 I grew up and owned more than one Square Body Chevy and one GMC truck and it's always been my most Favorite. I currently own and drive on occasion a 1985 Chevrolet pickup. It's still pretty much in Mint condition and is never driven in the winter. I prep it for winter storage late each fall and store it in my dry barn. I have partial heat there and do start it on a monthly basis. I put your website in my Favorites although I have never attempted to change anything on my truck other than radial tires. My Love affair with Chevy trucks started in 1971 when I was a senior in High School and my Uncle got me a job running parts for a big Plumbing company. He was the General Manager and he handed me the keys to a Brand Spanking New 1972 Chevy pickup. If old memory serves correctly I think it had a 396 Big Block with three on the tree and no rear bumper as it was an option back then. I have never figured out why any sane adult would give such a truck to an 18 year old Boy other than the fact that he was my Uncle. I received my first ticket with that truck for what the Police called Breaking Traction. I only left burned out tire tracks for a couple hundred feet so what was the big deal. My reward for this was a free ticket to Viet Nam in 1972 but survived it somehow.
The fact my truck/channel is not included in this hurts my soul. I'm crying and I want a beer 🤣 kidding, was stoked on this like I was when mine was featured before and love the content boys!!
The GMT400 platform is the perfect truck
Are you guys and fitment industry’s together?
Yes sir!
Just got an ‘84 k10 Scottsdale 350 700r4 lifted w/roll cage KC hilites cherry wood bed 35s in Canary yeller beautiful restomod
1st gen 4Runner video please!?!?!?!?!?! I’ve asked for like 100 days maybe more haha. I have great memories in a shit brown beat up square body Chevy when I was 4-5 and watched fireworks on the 4th of July. I’m only 21 so not to many memories in one for me haha
Wont sell my 76 chevy for nothing... or my Diamond T's .. or my International Harvester...
Chevy also had a 6.6l 400ci small block as an option, and ran 1 ton pickups till 91’
Fullsize blazers, suburban, 1ton and crew cab til 91
I have no idea when they changed the name , but these trucks were known as square fender trucks due to the squared off wheel wells . The '67-'72 trucks are round fenders due to the round wheel wells . BTW , power steering was still an option as late as 1975 .
I like the first design front end better than the second, so 73-80. I used to have a 91 chevy suburban but sold it and boy I kick my self for selling that.
All new trucks look the same. Not when I was a kid in the 70’s and 80’s. Creativity is gone…only plastic and computerized junk.
I have one and never want to sale it. Its a 1979 454 2wd Suburban. It has a front bench seat to. That is something I love about old trucks, is the bench seat.
Currently watching this sitting in my 1990 2500 squarebody suburban 4x4
My daily driver and project is a 82 chevy squarebody custom deluxe k10 on a 6 inch skyjacker lift on 35s I'll keep it over this new junk anyday...
Squarebody actually went all the way to 91, with the R/V designation when the C/K was given to the GMT400
My daily driver is a 92’ single cab step side z-71. Not a square body but my first truck I bought. Still going.
I want a square body bad I’m looking at one for my first vehicle I’m 16, my mom has a friend who she’s known for 30+ years and he bought his ‘83 k15 back in ‘86 ans up the road from where I live out in the country there is a red one
85 percent of the square body’s I’m not a fan of anymore. Ton of c10s with a mild small block and basic 20s on it. Or a k20 with a small small block on 6 inch lift and 35s.
I have an 86 High Sierra GMC, I am looking for the front fenders emblems that say High Sierra 150 if anyone out there have any and want to sell them I will buy.
Looking to buy a square body for my first truck 81 C10 or Bullnose Ford if I can't get either one for a good price I'll be looking at the OBS Chevy or Ford
I got a 1980 c10 short bed 350 th350 5-7 drop on 20s and a 86 k20 4x4 long bed 454 4 spd i love these trucks
Because less is more. New vehicles are too complicated, high maintenance, and high cost. We just want a car, not a pile of 25 computer chips.
Drove my 74 suburban to high school everyday back in the late 90's everyone thought it was old ugly and stupid... Now they are all the rage. Cracks me up.
First truck build I want to be the first person in my town with a clean lifted truck i have a 86 k20 4x4 chevy I'm looking to go with 22s inch wheels what's a good lift and offset for that truck just want a clean look
I'm 42 I know about 8 tracks but only my uncles had them when i was little.
SO kids ask your grandparents.
I had a 1973 454 C10 Cheyenne 4x2. It was a nice riding truck, and reliable, but the mpg was terrible.
Got two square bodies to merge together as one for my first and going to custom offsets for lift already got wheel and tires and going to do a patina paint job and when I’m done I will submit to the gallery
I have 1978 3/4 camper special 8 hole and gmc 1980 round light heavy half 6 hole k1500 propane
I daily a lifted 86 k10 wouldn't drive anything else. So much character and always gets a thumbs up and stares
My Dad had a 1975 green Chevy step side Manuel trans 350. Tough truck.
73' k20 cheyenne super lifted on 37's cammed, me and my two boys (10 & 12 yrs old) loving it.
I got an 86 c10. About as base model as you can get but shes clean. 3 on the tree, vinyl seat, no a/c, 6 cylinder. I hate it in the summer but i wouldnt have it any other way.
one motor you forgot to mention, was the Oldsmobile based 5.7 diesel. not many were made, and they were very unreliable, resulting in most being swapped to gas motors.
73-87 c-k series 88-91 r-v series last trucks gm put out in my option the obs models held there own but was nothing to there earlier models from the obs to now is a joke
my first truck was a square body I completely restored at the age of 15 I'm now 21 and its still my daily driver
Yea u fully restored a truck at 15 😂 by yourself
I got my C10 SWB back in 2017 for $2300 and two days ago someone offered me $12k
Own an 85 k10 Silverado and a 2015 GMC Sierra rocky ridge. I’ll choose my 85 over the gmc any day of the week. Had it for 13 years now and will always be a Squarebody fan!
I have a 1987 square body k10 Chevy Silverado that my dad is passing down to me
Building one right now because my dad did the same thing when he was my age and it was my grandpas truck. I’m 15 btw
Picking up a 76 with the 350 for my 06 mustang today! Super stoked
I have a single wheel one ton long bed single cab 4wd 454 big block 4 speed 1983 square body
I was born in 1999 and was born by a woman who was born in 1951. Raised by a older generation that taught me why older is better.
My dad has a blue square body Chevy we call the beast. We use it for wildrice farming and damn do we need that stuff
Square bodys are the best it's just hard these days to find an unmolested one they are very expensive now
Day 6 of asking custom offsets to rate your square body Chevy’s
Love square bodies, bought my 84 c10 long bed 3 years ago
Love my 73 454 burban. Dont get any easier to work on.
Square bodies are 🤌🏻.
Vid on the gmt400s 👀👀
Most parents today are not even old enough to remember 8 tracks.
I did a 2wd to 4x4 swap on a 85 was my pops gotta say it was fun and I put a 454 in place of that 305
were best part to get floor k20 3/4 floor for cab and bed brakes lines cooler lines trainy
Square body step side is perfection.
i have an 82, i want to build it but don’t have the money to rn and it’s not practical but i don’t want to sell it
Hey CO, Im 17 and saved up for a while and just ordered wheels and tires from you guys a few days ago and wanted to know, will I need to get my wheels and tires balanced? I bought the balancing beads with them.
They will come ready to go, just check air pressure
