Reviving The Ultimate 70's Camper Truck! 1977 Chevy C30 3+3 Crew Cab Camper Special "Big Mac"

[@toddj5589]

God is good! What an incredible story, John. Picking the kiddos up from school and having them help made this video even better. Making all the dads look good out there! I’ve seen the nearly final product of this truck and believe me it is an absolute beauty. 💯

[@mikehitchings4948]

“We’re probably not gonna make it… To hockey!” I absolutely love how you included the kids in the video and they’re asking “What does this do. “What’s the gas gauge?” “What’s an air cleaner?” That’s absolute gold!!!

[@joemonahan2972]

Nice to hear another Christian who enjoy vehicles of all types. Trucks, campers, RV, classic cars...so much to enjoy. Be Blessed! Joe from Smyrna Delaware

[@squarestatetrucks]

Hey Joe, thanks for the encouraging comment! We sure appreciate it. Amen!! All things, to the Glory of God! Amazing the opportunities we've been given to share The Gospel and pray with folks that God has brought into our lives through old trucks. He works through those interests to accomplish a purpose. God Bless, brother!

When I was 36 years old I had a heart attack and died 💔 they bring be back in the ER but what i saw changed me forever and I'm now 63 years old ,I ask God to let me live long enough to raise my 2 sons that were babies at that time ...God's hand's held me and he granted my wish and sent me back to my family 👪 . God of Abraham is and always will be my King .I'm glad God blessed you brother and I saw his sprit in your eyes .

@@squarestatetrucks welcome and thank you for sharing your story and life 🙏 I'm in the Philippines right now with my Philipina and I love old campers , I sold my 2005 24 foot camper and My 2020 Ram 1500 last February to come back to the Philippines , I will buy another Camper in 2026 when I get back in the states ...I live the RV life full time in America but I have a house in the Philippines , no taxes lol . My girlfriend has a store here that I built her 7 users ago . God has blessed me to live 63 years and with a good retirement . It's worth 4 times the amount converted to Philippine pesos . 1k usd is 58k pesos . My Honda bike cost 5k there and 2400 here

Sweet old ride man

[@squarestatetrucks]

Thank You!! And thanks for the comment

[@saltofsolomon2454]

Bud this rig is amazing She could use some helper bags on the rear axle

[@squarestatetrucks]

You're right! 😁 It's got new tires now, which helped, but those old springs are a little tired for sure. There are some updated pics and videos on our Facebook page. This footage was actually in January of 2023... Thanks for the comment 👍🏼

[@ShawnHarrington-nr3uu]

Some new tires with stainless inserts beuty👍

[@squarestatetrucks]

It looks a little different now.. this was over a year ago. Check us out on Facepage & Instagram for updates @squarestatetrucks Thanks for your support!

Go Packers. Go got to love the scarf he's got on

My uncle had this exact same camper same color.

[@squarestatetrucks]

Thanks for the comment! Good old 70s brown, red, orange, yellow. All the rage back then 👍🏼

[@Tankeryanker339]

Childhood memories , we had a siesta truck camper white and green on a 77 Chevy custom deluxe 4x4.

[@thinds8810]

Dream truck setup

[@squarestatetrucks]

Thank you for the comment and support! It's a pretty special rig!

[@RubenMontes-j2t]

That is the first Quadra jet that I see on a Chevrolet that has the fuel line coming straight through the front . Buicks . Oldsmobiles and Pontiacs have them like that . Chevrolet normally has the fuel line going in from the side.

[@squarestatetrucks]

Good observation! The fuel line entered straight into the front of the carburetor on GM Truck 454s from 1976-1978. Small blocks didn't change during this period. I actually had to look back at pictures of all the original engines we've had, and everything original I could find in GM literature and in the interweb. All of our 76-78 Big Block trucks are this way. Thanks for the comment! It was fun looking into that!

[@rickyroten2410]

Love the truck would like to have one to pull my camper

[@squarestatetrucks]

Thanks for the comment! Not a lot of ponies under the hood on these old choked down 454s, but they get the job done. A little machine work can wake them up! By the way, The kids always wear their seat belts on the highway. We make sure of that!

[@murdiesel]

Hell yeah!

[@squarestatetrucks]

Thanks for the comment 👍🏼 & Support!

[@RonaldSleath]

I hope you are doing better God bless you and your family

[@squarestatetrucks]

Blessed to report that the kidney is nearly fully regenerated! All Glory to God!

[@kennethGumm]

Cool truck then I can tell it was a 77 just by looking at the side of it it's the only year square body that has the yellow paint in the chrome trim instead of black ?

[@squarestatetrucks]

Thanks for the comment! Sure appreciate it. You're correct about 1977 and the Ochre trim! One of my Favorite years. There is also one Special Edition truck that had molding that was also not black.. The 1975 GMC Gentleman Jim came with Yuba Gold molding from the factory. Thats the only variation otherwise

[@gerry-p9x]

Serviced and drove a gentleman jim in 1976. At GMC dealer.Named for Jim Garner who used GMC s in Rockford files tv show...

[@shoutingatclouds1050]

The Dreamer camper is supposed to be worth 13K by itself according to JD Power. Conditions depending and some new tires it's all probably worth 40K. That's still half the price of a Sprinter Van camper. If you paid less than 30K you can't loose money on it fixing it up I believe.

[@squarestatetrucks]

The camper needs a little work to the roof, but thankfully, it's not too rotten.. Appreciate the comment and support!

[@shoutingatclouds1050]

@@squarestatetrucks Well you can fully fix the roof and essential structures for under whatever you paid for it minus repairs and total out below 13K do you think?

[@DisclaimerGarage]

Love an old square body crew cab! My father in law has one I’d like to take off his hands someday. Also, I’m gonna guess you shop at the same Costco I do, in Billings.

[@squarestatetrucks]

Hey neighbor! Thanks for watching the video and the comment! Oh man, we're a regular at the Billings Costco.. normally, have something on the trailer back there towards Meadowlark Brewing! Hope you can get thay Crew from your in-laws someday. They are fun trucks!

[@dewaynewilliford178]

Nice find!! I would put a new fuel pump on it, probably where gas got into oil

[@squarestatetrucks]

Thanks for the comment, we replaced the fuel pump a couple days later. It was toast

[@SuperSportstudio]

👍 ✌

[@squarestatetrucks]

Thank You!! 👍🏼

[@toddbob55]

Those square bodys are prone to crack frames especially the k10s

[@squarestatetrucks]

GM definitely had some issues with that, especially around the steering gear box.

[@brianmcfadden7252]

Would you sell it?? What price??

[@squarestatetrucks]

We're sure considering it.. probably a date with Bring a Trailer in the future after we finish up a few things. Thanks for the comment!

Heads up, playing those tunes can get a video demonetized

[@squarestatetrucks]

I'm not monetized.. yet. But, you're absolutely right. We've made an effort to cut the music out since. So I hope this one doesn't come back to bite me. I didn't even think about that when we made this one. Appreciate your input and support! Thank You!

[@snuffysmiff]

​@@squarestatetrucks FWIW, I enjoyed the opening. Haven't heard that in a long time. And as to those plastic junk gas cans I say pitch 'em and buy a couple Wavians. With a flexible nozzle. No, they ain't cheap-but they're worth every penny. Coat the bottoms with some bedliner and your kids will inherit them. Great kids, great rig and may you all make some lifetime memories in it together!

This is the only video she didn't help much with. She has a full-time job, and we had to pick this up unexpectedly during the week. Thanks for the comment!
