I started out looking for a squarebody to slam but finding one in decent shape that doesn't cost an arm and a leg had been a tall task. In the meantime, I have stumbled across some really nice OBS trucks and I think I am going to pull the trigger on one tonight. It's an 89 regular cab long bed, 2wd with a 305. Has a really cool two tone blue and light blue paint scheme. Only 60k miles and legitimately rust free. Only blemish is peeling clear coat on the driver's side. Seems to be a good deal as it's in great condition relative to other trucks in this price range.
My first pickup was an 88 K1500 with a 5.7. The intake manifold gasket went bad and instead of fixing it I decided to sell it. I regret selling it! Funny enough, I just threw out the mirrors I bought for the old truck, and that's the one thing that looks like it needs replacing on this truck.
I'm looking forward to getting back into an OBS. My daily is a 2011 Sierra crew cab. This will be a project truck just to tool around in, something to tinker with and for a cruise to the movies on Friday nights with the wife.
I'll be sure to start a build thread once I get into it!
