This Just may be Square Body heaven.... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

joe231 · 01-06-2010, 11:28 PM

So a few months ago I sold some trim to CHEESE and some dually fenders to his buddy Jimmy D of JD Glassworks. There was some confusion on my part as to where Hill's was located

. So just to make it right I decided to deliver the parts personally. Road trip with my oldest son (Zack) and if we got a tour of Hill's Hot Rod shop that would just be icing on the cake

So my oldest son and I got up early the Saturday after Thanksgiving to make the 800 mile round trip Trek. (the wife (Megan) and my youngest son (Jason) were going to go also, but the night before I realized we didn't have room for all 4 of us and the dually fenders

)

we saw a cool square on a trailer being pulled by a U-haul. we were so close that it was hard to get a full shot, but Zack got the front half perfectly.

We got the full tour, i was so in awe i didn't even think to take pics, so after the tour I asked if I could walk through again to take some pics

The showroom is very cool. They have magazine articles hanging all around the room, and I must say it is dominated by square bodies

so we hung out and soaked it all in for awhile, then it was time to make the 400 mile trek home. We were driving through Lubbock when I spotted these two trucks, so of course I had to snap a pic or two
