Thanks for the replies guys. The end use is basically a nice clean "shop truck/ work truck". I have no plans of lift or wheeling. Stock Height/Tire 3/4t 4x4 is what I need. Pulling the car trailer, hauling scrap, hauling firewood, plowing snow etc. etc.

Believe it or not my biggest gripe about the Squares is the gauge cluster. They are just dark and dingy looking. When you compare a '87 gauge cluster to a '92-'94 GMT400 "needle type" tach dash there is no comparison.

I drove the square about 300miles last week when we had some snow and I was actually suprised and impressed at the overall ride quality even on dry pavement. I was not impressed with the crappy interior, whistling vent window and luke warm heat. All stuff that can be fixed with enough $$$, but the GMT400 just seem to have a better level of comfort.

I guess I'm leaning toward doing the body swap from the '94 to the K2500 chassis and just use the '87 for work duty until the swap is done. Only problem with that is it hurts the wallet a little more. I originally was going to sell the '94 in 2wd form and put the $ in the '87, but I've had it on lovely CL for short $ for 2 weeks with no response at all.
