square body with cragars - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I can remember when I was a kid in the early 80s when someone had a squarebody two wheel drive the way to fix it up was with 10 inch cragars and glass packs duel exhaust straight out the back. Of course back then they were nearly new or new. Does anyone have any pictures of a truck back then they had fixed up like this?

I guess no one on here had a square body in the early 80s

That's actually the plan for my 78. Mild 350, budget lowering, glasspacks straight out the bank, and craigers or Daisy wheels with 225/75/15s. The only part I don't have yet is the wheels and tires. Currently running stock rally's and a slightly taller tire.

A buddy of mine is school had a 78 or 79. It was two tone maroon and white with all the chrome, with the ten inch cragers and white letter tires. Super sharp truck back in the day.
