So I just want you to know I bought an 80 square body six tears ago did off frame restoration. Two of the modifications I did recently after my restoration. Cross over steering, and change out bench seat to a set of 2024 Tahoe front seats and center console. Not only did the center console hav e storage space but has cup holders also I connected power to the seats and I have adjustable seats and lumbar support. Note if I ever want to sell my beast, I do have the original bench seat and steering. But as far as comfort and drivability these were the best additions. Restoration included AC, tint and sound system (that I can enjoy).

For cup holders in an old truck I always used a roll of duct tape on the seat. Works perfect for a beer… I mean soda can Nice truck though 🍻🇺🇸

I definitely need cup holders in my squarebody.... but is that more important than a running motor? i think so

As for your headlights, you can upgrade to a higher grade sealed beam, factory replacement, looks and functions as stock, but the best upgrade is to use a headlight relay setup, I did that on my 77 and it was a significant change with just the factory headlights. Good lighting is a must for any vehicle

Your youth comes through in your needs list. 😉 I never even thought of any of those things 30 years ago in my first square body. I still daily a 1986 C20 custom deluxe burb. 350, stick shift, 3/4 ton, with 33” tires on stock suspension. It has none of those items except tint. That’s to keep prying eyes out. I like simple though. My needs are less than most folks. I’ve driven that truck over 25,000 miles in the last two years. Thousands of those on dirt. It’s been to about half the states of our country, camping off road all over. They are great rigs. Tough, and reliable. Keep it up with videos. 🤙 You tube is a slow tough game.

You should look into the Philips brand headlights. I got them on my 85 k10. They have the original glass look and a single led at the top so it doesn’t look like those cheap 20 led headlights that everyone is running. They are pretty bright as well.

It’s always recommended to use neutral when shifting into 4x4, i think its just a problem in park if youre on a hill. Mine has directions above the sun visor on how to engage 4x4 not sure if they all do, mine was a old military k30

Back in my day we didn't have cupholders because you never put down your beer. If you emptied it it went out the window and you had a hand free for the next one.

No cup holders, no stereos was common because these were work trucks on the ranch and cruising into town to get some hay bales. Only later on did you get more convenience items. A/C too. It was an extra or not even an option. I think they are good things to add. Shoulder belts, also. In the 70’s it was lap belts only on these. 4x4 is nice but it’s more maintenance, more weight, worse economy and more to go wrong. In snow and mud it’s a must have. If not, all terrain tires and a LSD rear differential work good for 95% of the situations you’ll get in. On my Land Rover I took the LED bar off and put two LED spot lamps on the front bumper. Worked great and had a classic look. Good video and a nice rig, brother!

Nice truck Bro. I have a 73 K10 4 speed 465 and 205 transfer. 6 inch lift with 35 inch tires. THE NUMBER 1 thing to do first on all these trucks is crossover steering. My entire front end is new, also welded in frame reinforcement for new steering box, Borgesen steering shaft and a frame brace from Off Road Design. My truck never came with AC and I took the radio out I just listen to the exhaust. Duals with 2 Super 10s dropped 4 feet behind the cab. Good luck man, again very nice truck!!

Should’ve went with the retro Bluetooth radio for it off Amazon or LMC truck. I know they are pricey but look clean… I just kept the factory radio in my 83 k10 and bought a Bluetooth cassette to link to my phone and added 2 10” subs.. But you still have a clean square man!

I wish I could have, but the previous owner already installed a single din radio like the one I have and cut the dash in order to make it fit, so the hole wouldn’t been too big to mount the retro radio

Enjoyed your video. One thing that got in my craw... You said head lights sucked on it... Then I remembered mine are wired so all four stay on when on high beam..... Mine are amazing! Now you need and old school roll bar with some KC lights! Look up 80s trucks.... I'm 56 I grew up seeing them.... I've got an 81 stepside now with an amazing build sheet.... Good luck with that sexy ass truck.

Nice truck and great video. Thanks for sharing. I have an '86 Custom Deluxe. Just put in Vintage Air right in time for winter here in North Texas. Next year will be much nicer. They make cup holders that secure to the seat and match your upholstery. Those are cool also.

So funny when young guys say these headlights “suck” I’ve got 2 squares with stock headlights and I can see perfectly fine. I think the younger generation just can’t see at night or something because they all think they need 600 fucking LED lights just to drive at night, and blind oncoming traffic. These stock headlights don’t suck at all. They’re actually plenty bright. If you can’t see with them, something I’d wrong or you probably shouldn’t be driving at all.

That’s a beautiful truck dude…. But the fact that you purchased and owned this vehicle long enough to get the windows tinted… and wasn’t sure if the 4 wheel drive worked or not deeply saddens me. There are much more important things you need on that truck. I’ll give you the AC since you’re from the south.
