I guess we are on Square Bodies

Found these several years ago
A trucker that brought me a couple trucks in Arizona
Traveled with his wife
She asked me
You really like Chevy trucks ?
Yes, I replied
We’ve got a couple at our house
Oh really, send me some pictures

I had a 74 for a short bit
Don’t know what I was thinking when I bought it
I guess the 454 and buckets
Got me excited
It was the worst purchase I ever had ....
I definitely was

Here are the only good pictures of it

**Chevyland** · 02-27-2021, 08:25 PM

We became friendly
‘ The grey one was my dads, he passed a while back’
‘The yellow one is my brothers, he is in prison for the rest of his life’
That was a no brainer
Ok mam
Since your brother won’t be needing it any time soon
I think I’ll take the sun beaten yellow one

Played with it a couple years down in the desert
Then
Sold it

It was an 81
A very nice truck

57taskforce · 02-27-2021, 10:34 PM

I can’t for the life of me see how that was a bad purchase... unless you paid out the nose...

**jocko** · 02-27-2021, 10:49 PM

I sure miss my 76 - it was a "gotta make room" sale, but wish I'd found a way to keep it. K20 Silverado Camper Special with Special Paint (just orange top over white, nothing fancy) - something I was holding onto for a future project. Oh well.. They are becoming pretty hard to find in decent condition (at a fair price). I prefer 73-74 in the square years, but anything thru 79 works for me.. I've still got my lowback 74 buckets waiting for a home. Someday

Since we're talkin square headlights.. They were standard on the Silverado trim level in '80, but you could also get them on a lower trim level by selecting RPO V22, which got you the bright grille with square headlights. I'm a round-eyed truck sorta guy myself though.

I didn't realize how few pictures are floating around out there with 69-72 chromed P03 caps and white stripe tires. This one is too green, and too short, but this is the closest photo I could find in my archive. I'm sure someone has got something closer...

Attachment 2084732

Agreed
It is just a look you don’t see very often
Since
Blue on black
Is a solid color truck with only lower trim
I think dog dish with white walls
Will give, contrast

Not a solid color
But, I put them back this super
It came stock with them
The owner gave them to me when I bought the truck

Tomaso · 02-28-2021, 03:04 AM

Great collection of pics!
The green K20 carrying the Open Road cabover camper looks just like the rig I bought new from Hozelton's Chevrolet and RV in East Rochester, NY. In Dec. of 71. Many fond memories!
I'm about 98% complete on my current project: a 1972 K2500 Camper Special. Sharpest looking Brick on Wheels in town. Getting lots of thumbs up and horn toots. Looks like lots of people really LOVE these old Chevys and GMCs. I'm looking for a clean rust free Blazer or Jimmy if you guys know of one.
THANKS AGAIN for the pics.
TOMASO

**Chevyland** · 02-28-2021, 11:18 AM

Thanks Tomaso

Another truck just being a truck
Saw this one in Gold Country yesterday
Very reminiscent of the the 70’-80’s
Steelies, no caps

Sierra Grande....Tow Hooks

Oh yeah,
Also it’s original blue and yellow plates

Could very well be... all those Motherlode elevation gold rush towns resemble each other.
Maybe Chevyland will chime in and solve the mystery.

**68bowtie** · 02-28-2021, 01:35 PM

Aaah

**Chevyland** · 02-28-2021, 02:00 PM

I guess I’ll have to get some more hats ordered
Yes, Sonora

Taking Hwy 49 to Grass Valley

I didn’t even know there was a
Nashville, CA

57taskforce · 02-28-2021, 03:37 PM

That’s a great looking Sierra Grande K2500!

**Ol Blue K20** · 02-28-2021, 04:27 PM

Well I'll be dipped! I can't read apparently, I reading both of the guesses as Sonoma not Sonora..

lfeel like an idiot!

Killer Bee · 02-28-2021, 04:31 PM

I don't deserve a hat, I've never been to either of those places..

here's the clue, all I did was google 'coffill park' and boom, there it was!
