The Most Iconic Square Body Build | The Bottom Line

[@timbarnett3898]

I had 76 Chevy pickup. I put propane carburetor on top of gas carburetor. I mounted electric fuel pumps an shut-off. Put 80 propane tank behind cab. Built camper over tank. So I could have gas or propane on demand!

[@fuelishmedia]

Wow! What kinda mileage did it get?

[@timbarnett3898]

Propane didn't need too warm up like on gas. Didn't have too throttle the pedal like on gas to start. Propane more direct responses to throttle. Propane much cleaner, with clean exhaust pipes. I went elk hunting with friends an 2 other pickups. We drove from Portland area too central Oregon, John Day area. My 2 friends would wake up gas station owner to fill up gas tanks. But I didn't get gas, still had full tank. We would hunt all week, on way out my 2 friends fill up again. But I didn't get gas. Then 3 pickups drove back to Portland from Central Oregon. Then we all 3 got gas. (So, 3 gas stops to my 1!) No waiting for engine to warm up on propane like on gas. Drawbacks: added weight an space with propane tank. Not as good mileage on propane but not much worse! DEQ wants to test vehicle twice, once for gas an once for propane. Some station attendance think propane fill are a pain! When I wanted a new truck, one of my hunting partners bought my truck too keep it in the family!

By the way, on that elk hunt, 6 of us got 5 bulls: 1-4x4, 2-5x5s, 1-6x6, 1-7x7! I never hunted again, how could I beat this hunt!?

In the early 80’s that look its been done , but we didn’t have big 20 s rims and tires , They just started making factory 17 s so they use to just cut front coils , and rear they flip the leaf springs and blocks , unless you made it to a low rider truck they would install hydraulics either 520s or they would go with tru rays or tru spokes , that stock look with 2 tone factory look chrome bumpers , stock hubcaps , trim , etc, it would be a sin to paint your chrome bumpers ! A guy that i went to school and guy name steve litten he was into the hot rod and lowrider scene , he had to sets of rims for his truck , exact same color , he even had a 70s style camper shell on it with a blue wide stripe on camper to match paint

[@fuelishmedia]

Things were a bit different back then.

[@Austiiizy]

I’ve seen that truck in havasu

[@Bass4LifeBro]

OCD Garage has a 75 C10 Scottsdale with new trim from LMC truck, he also left his ride height stock for maximum comfortability due to being daily driven. And the bed on that one you showed isn’t even usable because it’s too shallow.

[@RevivalRides]

I have a 73 Cheyenne Super 10 C10 short bed sitting in my driveway, Marine Turquoise & whtie 🤘

[@fuelishmedia]

Nice! Cherish that thing! 🤙🏻

[@Somny-h2x]

Was this in havasu?

[@fuelishmedia]

Yes, the truck resides there.

[@deecee3900]

Badass! 🤙🏼🤙🏼

[@RipRider916]

Dude.

[@timberray9572]

I need to get me some of those Turban Wheels, hahaha

[@fuelishmedia]

Me too 😂

[@SaneCayne]

At least he corrected himself. I've heard several fellas say "turban" (wheels) and act like that's just how it's pronounced.

[@ACL-Escanor]

My father built his 1965 c10 over 30 years a go and he wasn’t the first one

[@dsc420247]

My K10 could park over this C10 😂✌️ That would be an awesome pic!!

[@fuelishmedia]

For sure!

[@ignaciomartinez8228]

You never mención the 6 digets price . I have a 1987 no rust like they use to get lots of rust i had a 1973 with to much rust on it

[@victoryvences]

LOL 😆 🤣 😂

[@shawnartis2731]

Ruined a perfectly good classic truck.

[@Minecraftineer998]

I have a 75 gm suburan in the shop atm. Absolutely love the thing and I intend to keep it as stock as I can. Love the bench seats and smooth power steering ya cant beat that nowadays. Makes ya a better driver too.

[@howarddeheer8295]

I just sold a 1973 square body box from Arizona make more money off of that box than I ever dreamed of

[@fuelishmedia]

It’s not a truck that will be used as a workhorse but meant to pay homage to the beauty of the original design.

[@rednexican559]

She got a new life. I wouldn’t have lowered it myself but that’s somebody’s baby

[@herschelsquirts2338]

Exactly what I was thinking!!!

[@paulross9287]

Does he know what "iconic" means?

[@Bass4LifeBro]

I don’t think he does lol. Can’t stand a slammed truck or larger wheels. 17s looks like a truck instead of truck with car wheels lol.
