[@markottinger]

I love some yuengling black and tan! Sweet bar light

[@mr.boombambiscuitsakajoel6017]

Que the music mike I sure do like the 85 boom bam biscuits

[@UNITEDBYTRUCKS]

It's a killer truck!

[@markottinger]

Nice find looks straight

[@UNITEDBYTRUCKS]

It’s a super straight truck! Looks killer rolling down the road

[@gasratzcustoms]

Awesome!!!

[@UNITEDBYTRUCKS]

Thanks!!

[@tobeurichard8969]

that short box looks pretty darn straight, and that patina is kissable. real nice square, congrats to Mike.

[@refugiolopez6194]

Sick bro!!!

[@UNITEDBYTRUCKS]

Totally

[@danielklassen306]

You should rename this truck. Funky Cold Patina

[@UNITEDBYTRUCKS]

Haha I like that. May have to use this somewhere down the road

[@richardbates2367]

I'm guessing a 86.. and my 86 Chevy k20 custom deluxe was midnight blue and frost gloss white down the center of the sides of the truck,had plenty of patina but alot of rust.... fenders, doors, rockers,cab corners,bed lol

[@TheWinkingPigBarBQ]

You guys in the South are so lucky because up here where they salt the roads in the winter that patina would quickly equal rust hole weight reduction. I'm in the process of rebuilding the body on my '83 Silverado, the only things that will be original on the body when I'm done will be the cab (with rocker and cab corner repairs), the cowling, and the hood. Everything else will be new except for the bedsides I'm taking from an '85 I bought for parts. Square bodies never held up well here in the North, mine came from Tennessee and it didn't take any time at all for it to rust through. Looks like you've got a good looking base to work from there. I'll be looking to see where it goes.

[@UNITEDBYTRUCKS]

Thanks for watching! That rust due to salt in the North is a killer.

[@tytaylor8762]

Reminds me of when I went to pick mine up. My buddy had parked it in a field behind what use to be a body shop and they used the bed as a dumpster for the wrecked parts and his cab as a trash can. It took me over 2 hours cleaning it out just so I could drive it home. I spent that week cleaning every inch of it and getting rid of nests under the hood from it sitting for 4 years. And now it's almost better than when it was brand new in 81 . I paid $1,000 for it and in the next month or so when the restoration is done I'll have a little over $8,500 in it on top of what I paid for it but it's worth it because it's a brand new old school Chevy truck. Replaced the bed, tailgate,both doors,hood and passenger fender as well as all the chrome molding,trim,etc.

[@galencurrington8704]

Are you going to clear that truck it would look killer

[@UNITEDBYTRUCKS]

No sir! We don’t clear original paint. Sometimes wash. Sometimes buff. Sometimes nothing. But definitely no clear

[@jhemenz2238]

Congrats on the Truck. Just Curious... What was the Bright Blue car there? Sitting in Yard at Mike friend's house. (your 'pitstop').

[@UNITEDBYTRUCKS]

It was a Galaxie but i don’t remember the year

[@jhemenz2238]

@@UNITEDBYTRUCKS Hey. Yeah. Im Loving the C10. I've saw that, and coming up Chevy though always liked a few Fords. I did see the Video again. And heard ya say checking out a Galaxy there. Ha! Looks like mid 60's. Thanks So much for being cool enough to reply. And for sharing what ya doing with this Widebody C10. That's what I'm after. Love It!!! Looking in Texas at few 83-87.

[@UNITEDBYTRUCKS]

If you're lucky, in the $2500 range all the way to $5000 or so. Depends on location.

[@chasetinroden4215]

[@thruitallauto2538]

What would you think of a 1991 5.7 tbi swap ,in a 86 squarebody would it be easier than a 5.3 swap.i have the truck to do the 5.7 swap, but would have to buy a 5.3, but I have found a 2005 5.3, bad rear end whole truck for $1500

[@UNITEDBYTRUCKS]

LS is best but it honestly depends on goals and budget

[@randybryant9936]

Cool find

[@tytaylor8762]

This afternoon I had an accident while working on my Impala. Ended up breaking my left hand so I'm on the shelf for a while and my truck will have to wait until I have the use of both my hands. Sucks too because I was in a zone and getting a lot done to my truck. Have a good evening.

[@UNITEDBYTRUCKS]

Oh, man! Take care of yourself buddy

[@RattleTrapGarage]

85s to 87s had the trim on the grill

[@budbrown5687]

Does Mike still have a "9-5" in addition to Howe's It Doin Garage, or is he now full-time at "Howe's"?

[@UNITEDBYTRUCKS]
