HOW TO Buy Cheap

We know about snagging a deal on the hot GM Squarebody trucks, aka 1973 to 1987 model pickup trucks. We discovered the secret when a 1977 Chevrolet Bonanza C10 short-wheelbase in black called our name among a lot full of wrecked cars. (catch the error in video? ***answer at bottom)
Why do you want it?
A huge number of classic truck fans have gravitated towards 1973-1987 Chevrolet and GMC 1/2-ton pickups. The reason?
They were cheap and could be made into good looking cruisers. Classic truck buyers realized that they were also good investments. They were easy to work on and a used parts and projects were plentiful. General Motors produced 10 million Chevy & GMC pickup trucks from 1973 until 1987, during the “squarebody” run.
Another reason to go square? They were cheaper than their older, classic GM full-size pickup trucks. The older (1940s-1972) parts trucks and projects are hard to come by and they aren’t cheap.
Square is Cool
No longer the grandpa-mobile. Some wear patina like a badge of honor. Customizing is easier than ever before with a load of aftermarket parts available. Add wheels, paint or dig into the interior. Others get lifted or slammed down to the ground onto air bags. Plenty of room underwood to shove that LS engine you been hoarding.
