picked up another squarebody and this one is here to stay! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

So I've had a couple squares over the last several years and i really missed both of them, so i went on the hunt for a few weeks online and finally scooped up a gem. with enough searching and scouring the net you can find the right truck! i was beginning to lose hope, and some of the prices online are downright crazy for these trucks! they weren't so high 4-5 years ago.

without further ado!
its an '87 V2500, TH400/350. brand new engine and fully rebubilt transmission. all mechanicals have been rebuilt. she's not perfect and has a little bubbling here and there but its a very very straight truck!

That is NICE!!!! Wow what a find. Did you have to travel far for it? Or was it right there in your own State?

That's some quality beef right there.

I'm just going to ask what everyone else wants to know how much did you pay for it?

Love the truck very much but im not trying to be an ass but i need a little info....my curiosity is in how do you get up in the truck with out a step bar....and for you guys who have had them that high does pulling(just a guess) yourself up affect the door in any way.....this is just a curiosity question.....again the color combo and grill is really done right like it could be the Fall Guy's evil or better twin.....congrats on the find.......

i crawl in. I'm 26 and the man who previously owned it was 60 and he so far was the only person I've seen who could get their leg up high enough to pull himself into the truck. I don't grab the steering wheel or the door, i grab the A pillar, so as to not loosen the column or wear out the door pins lol.

and i actually had to look up that Fall Guy truck you speak of, I've never heard of it lol. As for what I paid for it, If i told you you wouldn't believe me. Lol
