Chevy's in the wild

Holy straps

and incorrect way to load on a trailer with the weight on the wrong end .

Saw these two squares yesterday.

The K-10 was driven by a younger kid ( well, he looked about 20 yrs. old to me ) and I complimented him on his truck.
This clueless kid started to explain to me all about a truck of that vintage and how they don’t make em like that anymore - I just listened and agreed.
I didn’t have the heart to let him know that I was driving before that thing was made - - the kid could not gather the clues of damn near all grey hair on my head and old Don Williams music on my radio to let him know that I am way older than his truck.

Take it as enthusiasm.

This one reminds me of so many trucks from when I was a teenager in the 90’s.
Every panel is slightly different shade of metallic green.
Half tons.

I agree, take it as enthusiasm, I wasn’t driving when squares were available new and when an older person tells me they don’t make they like that anymore I always agree. Just be glad he’s into old trucks and not meth or pronouns

 

[AJMBLAZER]

Ask him if he knows about steering box bracing or death wobble.

I saw this jewel today while I was in @83ChevyK5Blazer neck of the woods.

Saw a few squares while out today.

The K5 JIMMY is just fine!

The crew cab short bed has a Duramax/Allison combo in it - it’s in a lot of local car shows around here but also drives it on the road a lot instead of making it a trailer queen.

The full-top 2WD K/5 looks like it’s been sitt’n there for a hot minute - they may have lost interest in it.

That's a nice seat cover in the Duramax powered one

Big Richard’s tow truck



And this truck is in my avatar, but I had not been able to look underneath it and I’m still not sure what's rigged up in back. Rear most axle is not driven.

 

[tarussell]

Wow - ya can really see that the creator of this tandem axle masterpiece didn’t quite understand all the mechanicals at play - lots of low hang’n fruit to pick from but the sway bar attachment point on the axle bracket with no riser to the chassis is just sad.
Ain’t even gonna start on the more serious “design” flaws and material selection on this thing - I guess this is one example of why vehicle inspections are needed.

Hey c'mon now... that fuel system plumbing is choice.

They're both at a used vehicle lot, when I asked if I could take a peek the lady offered me the keys.

Might be a chevy. Couldn't get a side view of it. Quite the welding bed setup.

I've seen some with newer tailight setups. Never one like this. And the chrome roll bar.

 

[Wes Harden]

look like late 60's T bird tail lenses. did the turn signal lights start in the middle and move to the outside ?

I didn't notice that. Just caught up while driving enough to snap a quick Pic.
