I must have saw 100 square body trucks on the way to, and in Texas. Here are two pics.

Re: Texas Trucks

never liked 2wd blazers or lower trucks for that matter but that blazer looks killer

A tired warrior of the 1980s in a world of low profile tires, front wheel drive, and plastic bumpers, where people stay in their houses until snowplows move the offending substance from their paths, too helpless to travel without AAA and chains and salt, clearing their windows with longhandled brushes while gently stepping around in the snow trying to stay nice and dry.

The lowered truck was owned by a man who was about 75 years old. He has owned it for about 30 years.

Re: Texas Trucks

I couldn't really imagine life without seeing square body Chevy trucks every single day... I thought every state was like that. I never really thought about it.

The reason I chose to build my own '81 Chevy truck is because u can get parts anywhere and everywhere. If some one hits my front fender or bed, oh well I'll just grab one off another truck right down the road.

Re: Texas Trucks

Yeah, very common down here. A close second is the 67-72's. I have one of each!

Re: Texas Trucks

Definitely truck country, if Texas is first then Oklahoma is second, unless we're talking football.

Re: Texas Trucks

For every square you see on the road in Texas, there are 20 of them sitting in a field, under a car port, or parked next to a barn. Trucks migrate to and retire in Texas. It's a truck heaven. It's like old people going to Florida. You'll find tons of elderly people standing in fields there.
