Crew cab differences.

[Ziegelsteinfaust]

I have decided I am going to get a square body crew instead of buying a new truck. Personally I can not handle the payments and insurance for as much as I drive.

I have a 1974 K20 that I would like to rob parts off of since it will be converted to 55 during the winter.

From my CL searches it seems 80-90 are more plentifully, higher spec'd, but I prefer the whole 70's vibe more.

So for guys having owned our driven both, are the later versions better with controls lay out. Or is it just a personal choice thing.

I am a HVAC tech so this is going to be a fall project, with a quick flip for road use. This way I have time to buy the best starting point I can for the cheapest possible price.

Is there anything else I should know about these trucks before I drop the money down.
