Re: What TF happened to square prices in the US?

On a related note, interest in LS swaps in these trucks is at an all-time high. I'm a member of a facebook group dedicated to LS swaps in 73-87(91) GM trucks. There's 68,000 members in that group(and no, that's not a typo). There's shortages of certain parts, such as the 1987 fuel senders, because of the popularity of LS/square mashups.

My impression of that group is that a lot of the members are not highly-skilled mechanics. More than a few of them are young bucks in their 20's, and are just trying out their hand at serious wrenching for the first time. These LS swaps are being presented as beginner friendly(they can be, if you don't get carried away).

The squares are the high value trucks right now. I expect that within 5-10 years, the gmt400 trucks will be outpacing the squares in "coolness factor." The high value will follow shortly after.
