I grew up in Canada and learned to drive in a C10. My dad had an 86 Custom Deluxe long bed, straight 6, 3 on the tree tranny. No power steering. Just a plain jane truck that did everything. Hauled fire wood in the winter, hauled fruit in the summer, hauled rocks and bikes and everything else. My pops sold it for a Toyota Tundra in 2004 or so. I know I'll get a c10 when I retire just to bring back the memories of my childhood, driving around with my pops. Yeah, I miss the old truck.

[@LDaniel_BDuce]

@@johncooper9976 Oh man, we have one just rotting in our yard and I’ve for some reason gotten an urge to fix it up a couple days ago. Maybe because I’ve walked past it and all of a sudden I’ve realized that square body’s look amazing. But a couple years ago some guy literally sat in front of our house for hours waiting for me and my dad to get home to ask if it’s for sale. He used to have one and totaled it driving it around a hill and rolling it. And offered a huge sum of money for that rust bucket… 30 grand maybe. He really wanted it and my dad declined. Really glad he did to.

[@oldschoolman6572]

After 13 years of not having one, I got another one. Yes they do bring you right back... to the sound of the steel door close, to the smell of the interior, to the buzzer noise when you put the key on. To the thin oversized steering wheel, the thin signal light lever and clicking sound...and not forgetting the smile you get when you take it down the road after years of not driving a squarebody Chevy’ or GMC ! 😀

[@mrshifter5007]

One of the best things to buy to improve these trucks is the Borgeson quick ratio steering box. My 84 GMC squarebody is much nicer to drive now. I also changed all the tie rod ends, pitman arm, etc to all new Moog items.

I had driven my dads 83 C-10 for the first time yesterday and let me tell you, I fell in love with it, he had been wanting to give it to me when I was older and I can see why, so glad he kept it

[@LDaniel_BDuce]

Oh sick I have an 83 c-10 aswell. It has a 305 in it that’s locked up, 217,000 miles etc. I found a guy to get me a 350 engine so I’m actually getting a new engine in it this weekend or next, so I’ll be able to drive it. I was my grandpas truck, and then it became a shuttle truck, and then it was parked. But I’ll be able to drive it soon and I’m pumped

@@LDaniel_BDuce That's dope a hell man, they're strong and reliable trucks for sure. It's been over a year now that I have been driving it and it's given me no issues. I also found out more about my truck, it is actually an '82 step side with the silverado trim, the original engine was junk so my dad actually got a 350 crate motor back in 2016 so it pushes hard. Thinking about taking the original 3 speed auto out for a 4 speed manual, or a higher gear auto, not sure yet.

I didn’t buy these trucks, they’ve just been in a sense inherited from my dad. He said whatever truck I restore of his I can keep. Which is a good thing, I learn a skill and get a truck out of it. (I’m 16) Let’s see… what old trucks to we have… 1965 Chevy C60 1973 Ford F600 1983 Chevy Silverado C10 Unknown Chevy or GMC haven’t looked at the truck GMC… Sierra Grande 15 I think… I only know the years of the two bigger trucks that are old grain trucks, and the Silverado. The GMC has an engage able 4WD and the unknown truck has a fuel safe in the back. But yea, I’ve had a blast so far working on the C60 and F600. Not in running shape yet, just done a bit here, a bit there, and painted the grill, bumper, and tow mirrors of the C60. But I am going to sink a lot of time into the Silverado as I don’t have a good daily driver yet.

I made sure at the time they were not the diesels that GM had made from the gas engine blocks. Those turned out to be a disaster. The 6.2L diesel was designed from the ground up as a diesel & were the only diesels offered in Chevy's trucks in that timeframe.
