Re: What is your dream square??

I'm getting close to my dream truck. Any year crew, but mine is an 89. For now it's gonna have a tall deck 427 w/TBI, 400 auto till I get the parts for the NV4500, div 205, HP60, van 14ff, about 8" overall lift, 40" TSLs, cowl hood, visor, cutout flares, tonnue cover. In the end it will have a 12v Cummins, P-pumped, like to have around 350-400 horse, that is my dream truck.

Crappy cell phone pic....

Re: What is your dream square??

I was with you until you said "tailgate memorial of the miami skyline"

Anyway...My drram truck is a crew cab short bed. With a 5.7 LS engine/ 4l80E trans. Airbagged over 20/22in boyd or foose true directional wheels. My all time favorite paint scheme was the emerald green over white truck that Hills did a few years back.

Re: What is your dream square??

My dream truck would probably be an 87 GMC Sierra Classic 3500, 6-8" of lift, 35" tires, just the right wheels, and an EFI 572 big block, T56 & NP205.

Re: What is your dream square??

My 73 is getting close to what I had envisioned for my dream 73-87

If I could have another, a mildly customized 80 Indy Hauler would be right up there.

Re: What is your dream square??

It's a tough one. Either a 73-80 short bed 2wd, lowered and clean, with a 454 and 4 speed (LiveAnimals has my dream 2wd-minus the 4 speed!!!!), or a 88-91 CCSB 4x4, with a twin turbo 24v/AT, 6" of lift, winch bumpers, M/T's, and everything modern on the inside(leather,audio,etc.)

Re: What is your dream square??

My life long dream was to have a blown and injected engine. Didn't matter whether it was a small or big block or what it was sitting in. 3 years ago I could finally make my dream a reality after a long 35 year wait. Even tho I would prefer to have it in something smaller and lighter, I wouldn't get rid of my truck for the world.

Re: What is your dream square??

73/74 LWB 350/350 all stock Cheyenne Super 10, with factory race track moldings. Preferably yellow and white.

I'd settle for the 73 that bigblock73 has though

I agree. There are a few on here that I dream about all the time.

Would really like to have a 73-80 stock in appearance, with just a few upgrades in powertrain, and suspension.

Re: What is your dream square??

Always wanted a charcoal gray square with gray rallies although I really like them black too, something simple. Black interior. There was something custom I wanted to do and that's to add a cowl hood and in that cowl hood a 70 Chevelle factory cowl induction set up. I want to stay with the BBC because of the trucks history, so one day if I happen to run into a lot of money I will do a Vortec 7.4L/4L80e swap. I think that's about it.

Re: What is your dream square??

Always wanted the truck I have, last year with the new EFI, swb, silverado black on black.

But another one I would love to have is a 73-74 swb 2wd, with a factory numbers matching 454 and full trim package. I believe they came with big blocks, and gosh I love the 73-74 front ends.

Nice call on the twin spins. Those are my favorite wheels, I love old school billets. Budnik arrowheads and scissors are up there too though, lol.
