Why, with the popularity of this bodystyle of truck, I never see one in this magazine is beyond my understanding. I think they need to do one issue, devoted to us the square body owners/lovers. I know that there are a millon of them, but there are alot of people just getting into them that don't know much about them. Me not being one of those people. I've had mine for 8 years.

That would be nice if they did. I am also a proud owner of a 1985 GMC shortbed. Had the truck for over 6 years now, it is mt 2nd one. It is a fun and great project the sky is the limit when it comes to this truck. But if you are looking for a magazine with articles on these years you should look at Custom Classic Trucks they feature at least one in each issue from a 73 to 87. Keep your Chevy rollin

...a bit out of the year range but I've got a '77 K5 and I wouldn't btrade it for any new truck gm builds these days. They just don't build trucks like these anymore.
For some unspoken reason "Super Chevy" is only considered for cars and not trucks.

Thats what I was getting at...Why no trucks? They are everywhere in this part of Texas.

"Texas Cadillac" = 4X4 truck
You might have to change channels to "Pirate4X4.com"
or "fourwheeloffroad.com" dude.

It should be considered for cars & Trucks!  A Chevy is a Chevy, right?

Based on the amount of that bodystyle truck here in Southeast TX. I'd have to agree.
Some of the trucks here are just sick! Some high, some low as you can go, some faster than they need to be. I work at an Autozone, and the amount of people that buy parts for those trucks is staggering. Me being one of them...
