Post Square Bodies Working Thread

O.K., there's a 1981 (I think) GMC G3500 that lives near me and works at least 5 days the week .

Sadly I wasn't allowed to upload the pictures due to not having a "token" whatever that is .

I'll try again later .

Re: Square Bodies Working Thread ?

VWNate1, if your doing the pics on your phone or iPad. Your allowed the 5 pics, but everything time you add one, upload it, and then add another and upload each one until you get your 5 pics. That’s the way I have to do it when I’m on my phone or iPad, or I’ll get one of those token things. It will work, it just takes a little extra time.

THANK YOU ! .

I know there are lots and lots of still working square bodies but Massachusetts ?! .

That's my home state and I remember 1950's vehicles with gaping rust holes in three years because of the salt .

Let's keep this thread going folks .
