    Agree. They are really great builds. Way over the top with the decals. I like the wood engraving, don’t even mind a couple decals outside but the glove box? Wouldn’t deter me from buying one though

    Nice! I love old Squares. My dad still has his 1979 GMC pick up that he bought off the showroom floor in July 1979. I currently have a 1999 K2500 Chevy Suburban with the 454 that is currently sitting at only 113,000 miles. Love that old truck. Would love to build something like this with it, but it would have to be easily removable, as I still need to truck for things like hauling kids all over the country. I use it to pull our homebuilt teardrop trailer a good bit, as well.

    I had a 1991 (final year of the squarebody) that was almost exactly the same as yours. Former government vehicle. Made a lot of memories in it but got rid of it when it became too unreliable and needed too much work, not enough time or money. I still regret selling it. If I could go back in time I'd love to do what you did with yours with the bed and cabinets and take it on adventures.

The k1500 still runs well, but the frame is rustier than I'd prefer. Do you know where to get a good solid frame to do a full restoration? We're in Western PA. I'd honestly rather not do that much welding... Your design is a sweet one for overlanding. Very nice!

    Nice! Just got an '87 K20 from Texas out here on Kauai and been thinking about how to convert it into a beach camper. Came with a lift and good tires and the engine is bone stock, which is perfect since I don't have to go over it all fixing mistakes. I'm a mechanic though and not a carpenter, so my ideas for the interior were, well... stupid. Now that I've seen how nice, clean and simple you're build is, I'm following your example here. Did you start with planning to take out the back seat? I'd like to keep the 60/40 split bench in but maybe take out the /40 side and have a standing mini fridge there. I'm not too worried about power as I have 3 batteries and a couple generators I can play with. Just wondering if the few inches the backrest takes up hinders anything.
