I am in Square Body Heaven

On Vacation in pigeon forge TN.
I have never seen so many Square Body trucks.

HUGE car show Saturday and Sunday I bet I have seen at least 100 trucks.
This is a great place for someone wanting to start a build.

DOLLYWOOD. There are some neat mountain roads all around there...Tail of the Dragon is nearby too...A square isn't the best for some of the roads, but still fun.

Last 2 times I went first gathering was 2600 and the one last fall was 3100. You name they probably have it old muscle cars truck import off road exotics. A car/truck guys dream. It is the largest one in the state of TN.

Love the roads in that area. We took our late model Dart down last May and I had a scream carving up the curves with it. Great vacation destination. Highly recommend.

The Tail was a bit lame though, too many slowpokes.

The year before I had an 04 Durango with a Hemi (that has since ventilated the block with the #7 rod) and I made this vid of the wicked road to our cabin.

Athens or Cleveland? Rod Run is 2 times a year spring and fall. And more in between that plus all the local shows just about every weekend plus cruise ins.
