What's up Todd. Never fear, a bunch of those "oldsters" are still around. And yeah, some "newbies" like me. I've owned and worked on Chevy trucks since about 1989 though, so that probably counts for something, ha!

Was glad to see this thread pop up. You mentioned shutting it down but every time you update anything, even just pics, you give us guys that are relatively new to the forum a chance to get on board. The early squarebody years have some equipment that really got the job done before compromises were made for fuel economy, etc. I like some of what has evolved since then too, but your truck shows that they can still be combined in the right way to get a nice looking, comfortable truck, that has the guts when it's needed. Very cool.
