First off I'm not good with nicknames for vehicles and it shows lol. Well I feel I should disclose the fact that I really was not into any Squarebodies as a kid, I always seem my dad messing around with 67-72's and just never liked the 73-87's. As time went on and I started building my 67 c10 and I started gaining low knowledge and most importantly respect for all classics... I started to look at the 73-74 Squarebodies and seen all the cool differences and older styling that they had yet carrying the new body style and realized they are really cool trucks and that I do in fact like them. So now I'm a squarebody fan, the 81-87 are still growing on me.. So anyways onto the truck! It's a 1974 Chevy custom deluxe|10 which if I've got my info correct is 1 up from base model. So this truck has been a couple PO parts truck (very sadly to say)... It's missing suspension, bed, bumpers, motor, Trans, hood, and some other little odds and ends. But months less it's still a pre smog original paint 74 1/2 Ton! Can't let this one die. Found the SPID in the glove box so I was able to see the options and what currently missing parts of the truck used to be. Upon opening the glove box I found all the original manuals! So my plans for the truck are to complete the missing body by hunting down original Ochre yellow body panels such as the hood, bed and tailgate. And then I'll lower it down with a 5-7 drop from CPP and of course like I've done to all my vehicles, steel rims and dog dish hub caps, which I already have 5 "bright metal hub caps" as stated on the SPID. I do have questions as im not very knowledgable on Squarebodies yet:
When's the last year for '536 ochre/white' paint? More specifically the ochre paint for Squarebodies? I know 73-74 have it what about 75-76? Also what did the custom deluxe package all consist of? I'm assuming wood grain on the door panels, chrome bumpers, bright metal caps, window from and at least the upper side trim? Anyways heres pictures of the truck.. Or should I say pieces of the truck lol..
