It was your channel that got me to drag out the 87 gmc from behind the barn. I’ve given it the 1 ton swap, currently doing floors and some patch panels. Its a great platform and parts are still very affordable.

You are THE MAN when it comes to the SQUARES SIR!!

I bought the exact mustard yellow 73. Ls swapped it and removed all exterior sheetmetal

Gained interest in squarebodies in the summer of 2016 when I volunteered at a living history museum with my mom. The museum was out in the country a bit and secluded by a large hop farm. Next door was a beautiful 83 k5 with a lift and some 35s. Never saw it move. Came back a couple years ago and bought it off the guy for 1800 bucks. Turns out, the union between the tcase and trans had cracked, which led him to park it. It’s in great condition. Now that I have some time, I’m finally getting around to working on it. Thanks for all your tutorials and reviews. Been watching them for years now.

75 grand went into the K30 burb? Holy crap. Lol. I'd love to see a breakdown of where the money went.

I bought my '73 K5 in 2004 for $2K USD then waited 18 months for it to arrive in Australia.

I just scored an 84 k5 454, 60/14b disc brakes all around, lockers, 12.5k winch, running driving minimal rust in South Jersey for 5500.

Was at Barret Jackson auction in Scottsdale a couple weeks ago...blew my mind the prices on squarebodys...to think how we treated these in highschool

I have a 1975 K5 4x4 that needs a new home, and has lot's of great part's already there, SM465 Muncie 4speed with granny low, 205 transfer case, 12.5" corporate full float, 37" Toyo Open-Country mt's, and a 85 3/4ton 2 wheel drive auto turbo400 suburban!..from Wyoming USA 🇺🇸 👋🤠

I love the full convertible top, I have a 73 waiting for me to finish the engine. I can't wait to see what you do with that one specifically.

I love all your builds, James. I'd LOVE to have a convertible K5.

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.

I just got two square body’s I’m going to flip . One is a 1977 K5 in a great running and driving form with a 350 4 speed granny low . The other is an 1987 GMC regular cab 3/4 ton with a 454 4 speed granny low . The truck has the 14 corporate rear end , both of them are running driving on the road . The truck had issues in the bed , and I had to replace cross members . But they are both solid steel now . I’m having the dilemma of I want to keep one but which one lol .

So stoked I picked up my big burb for $1,500.

I love the square body chevys. But I’m building a First Gen solid axle 4runner with a Chevy drive train!

The '73 on my channel was purchased 1 yr ago for $10K complete and running. The engine and trans was traded even for a junkyard 6.0/4l80e.

I have 1974 k5 blazer and payed 4k for it love this year 73 to 75 all the same

If you're going to be into square bodies blazers trucks suburbans make sure that you look up off-road design they got parts here probably going to be interested in shackle flip kit for the rear end for the height you desire steering box kits also front end kits check them out they got a lot of variety

I bought a Chevy 1975 Chevy blazer for $2,500 it was blue and silver back in the early 90’s i spent over $10,000 on it on a 4 inch lift and 3 inch body lift new motor axle’s with 44’s on it

In 2005 I paid 2000 thousand for a 74 Cheyenne super 10 people thought i was crazy including my family but it ran good and It was straight with no rust . Now Aday’s you cant find a roller for that.
