What is your dream square?? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Chionos GMs · 08-04-2010, 08:44 PM

I got to daydreaming today about my dream square body. So I want to see what your truck would be like if you had an unlimited budget?

Mine would be a ‎1985 Chevy Crew cab dually flatbed, 24v Common rail cummins

, NV4500HD

,NP208, Dana 70 front, Dana 80 rear, 6 inch lift, Skinny 35s, Front and back 12,000# winches, overload bags, Midnight blue paint, grey interior with the fold down bed for the back seat

I know Im forgetting something

Your turn guys! Lets hear bout your dream truck

OARNGESI · 08-04-2010, 08:46 PM

I want a duplicate of rockies truck from the rockford files

b454rat · 08-04-2010, 09:36 PM

I'm getting close to my dream truck. Any year crew, but mine is an 89. For now it's gonna have a tall deck 427 w/TBI, 400 auto till I get the parts for the NV4500, div 205, HP60, van 14ff, about 8" overall lift, 40" TSLs, cowl hood, visor, cutout flares, tonnue cover. In the end it will have a 12v Cummins, P-pumped, like to have around 350-400 horse, that is my dream truck.

Crappy cell phone pic....

I would trade it for a good running TBI 454. This motor was in a 94, is TBI, but needs a special flywheel/flexplate, need to change the harmonic balancer, and weld an adapter for the water pump to intake fitting. Stock is 3/4", it has 1 1/2" or something now.

None of which is a big deal, but will all the work I'm doing, dropping a TBI or even carbed 454 would be really nice and less of a headache.

I agree. There are a few on here that I dream about all the time.

Would really like to have a 73-80 stock in appearance, with just a few upgrades in powertrain, and suspension.

GmtGmt · 08-05-2010, 06:56 AM

Im in the process of building it

Crew Cab Dually with a Supercharged diesel 6.2 or 6.5 4 Speed Granny low with Advanced Adaptors Overdrive complete custom wood interior, Choo Choo Custom Seats 2 Captain Chairs on swivel and fold down back seat to a bed and Custom Testarossa ground effects.

*BGRAFX* · 08-05-2010, 08:48 AM

I was with you until you said "tailgate memorial of the miami skyline"

Anyway...My drram truck is a crew cab short bed. With a 5.7 LS engine/ 4l80E trans. Airbagged over 20/22in boyd or foose true directional wheels. My all time favorite paint scheme was the emerald green over white truck that Hills did a few years back.

79gmcclassic · 08-05-2010, 09:26 AM

my dream truck is a 73-80 lwb gmc all redone frame off restoration factory original style. except have a mild cam and headers on the lil 165 horse 350.

Jim85IROC · 08-05-2010, 09:45 AM

My dream truck would probably be an 87 GMC Sierra Classic 3500, 6-8" of lift, 35" tires, just the right wheels, and an EFI 572 big block, T56 & NP205.

Matt Man · 08-05-2010, 10:23 AM

i would like op have my truck with 4x4 and a cummins with a 5 speed.

cor86 · 08-05-2010, 10:39 AM

It's a tough one. Either a 73-80 short bed 2wd, lowered and clean, with a 454 and 4 speed (LiveAnimals has my dream 2wd-minus the 4 speed!!!!), or a 88-91 CCSB 4x4, with a twin turbo 24v/AT, 6" of lift, winch bumpers, M/T's, and everything modern on the inside(leather,audio,etc.)

STOCKISH · 08-05-2010, 10:48 AM

Mine would be Hills Hotrods yellow and white LMC truck. I am so close to painting mine yellow and white it's killing me.

bigblock73 · 08-05-2010, 10:23 AM

My 73 is getting close to what I had envisioned for my dream 73-87

If I could have another, a mildly customized 80 Indy Hauler would be right up there.

knightowl73 · 08-05-2010, 10:33 AM

tar black 73 shortbed fleet with 3 gallons of clear, two pontiac 455 thru-the hood scoops, all original crome, billet grille, 22x10 billet specialties twinspins all around, bagged and bodydropped,283/200-4r/4.11, black tweed nterior, and definately working a/c

CoggedBelt75 · 08-05-2010, 10:57 AM

My life long dream was to have a blown and injected engine. Didn't matter whether it was a small or big block or what it was sitting in. 3 years ago I could finally make my dream a reality after a long 35 year wait. Even tho I would prefer to have it in something smaller and lighter, I wouldn't get rid of my truck for the world.

RandyP · 08-05-2010, 11:20 AM

73/74 LWB 350/350 all stock Cheyenne Super 10, with factory race track moldings. Preferably yellow and white.

I'd settle for the 73 that bigblock73 has though

Nice call on the twin spins. Those are my favorite wheels, I love old school billets. Budnik arrowheads and scissors are up there too though, lol.

Patriot · 08-05-2010, 04:28 PM

I own mine.

1979 1 Ton dually reg cab, smallblock/4 speed 4X4 and NO OPTIONS!!

DBLSPRT68 · 08-05-2010, 10:49 PM

I'd love to have an Indy Hauler of any year they were made. 80 was my favorite tho!

mooseknuckles · 08-06-2010, 08:33 PM

Mine would have to be a '77-'78 version of Red Rocker, except it would be orange tangello instead of red, a 502 ramjet, and a set of Billet Specialties Vintec's...........i'm thinkin' photoshop?
