I'm gonna tell you five things that I absolutely hate about daily driving a square body Chevy and stick around until the end and I'll tell you five things that I actually enjoy about daily driving a square number one big as hell this thing's an absolute Beast parallel parking is terrible parking garages terrible parking lots terrible turning tight Corners is impossible working on it in a home garage freaking impossible this thing literally handles like a bus especially once you're used to driving around like a little car a little gas zipper or a sports car or whatever the second you hop in a square body game over and my square body specifically is lifted six inches on 35 inch tires it's the long bed and I live in the city of Chicago so I would say that the size can be at times inconvenient number two insanely loose steering driving around I don't know what it is it's hard to keep in a straight line it just wanders all over the road tries to wander out of the lane I've hit Three Square bodies all of them were 4x4 which I understand and handle differently than like a C10 two-wheel drive but still nonetheless very hard to keep in a straight line I know that a lot of people recommend crossover steering um it seems just like a lot of money and hard work to make something bad slightly less bad number three and this is a big one does not have all the Comforts of your modern day car or truck it takes me like 15 tries to pop the hood you pull the release it doesn't pop I have no air conditioning I have just the little vent windows on the doors no radio no cup holders no step to get in no headliner no insulation no ABS no traction control no cruise control no power outlets seat doesn't move at all mine's welded in no power windows my fuel pump is on a toggle my wipers are on a toggle no washer fluid squirters manual transmission that you have to double clutch First In Reverse most of the gauges on my Dash don't work mine actually has a working speedometer no working gas gauge though of course and then I have four aftermarket gauges three of them work one is a gas gauge that one also doesn't work there's just always going to be a lot of little things wrong with it and just the nature of the old truck you're going to be missing a lot of modern day Creature Comforts that a lot of people love and depend on you don't get those in a square body number four expensive as far as gas mileage goes I'm lucky if I get in the double digits I would say eight nine miles per gallon to buy a square body you basically spend new truck money on something that will always break down well everyone you know constantly tells you that you should have bought a new truck tires alone cost more than a lot of people's whole car grow buddies used to be pretty cheap but in the past couple of years they've quadrupled in price and number five constant repairs and maintenance I don't care how clean your square body is I don't care how recently refurbished everything is it's an old truck and you have to be ready for anything you will constantly be adjusting repairing rebuilding or replacing every single part of your truck more times than not you'll be doing these things on the side of the road in the rain while wearing your nice clothes you must always carry tools as well as extra parts Bell belts hoses Etc at all times dang what type of tool bag is that oh this well I'm glad you asked this is the official chemical Racing Equipment tanker style tool bag Timeless military design our badass logo and insanely tough this will withstand all your dirtiest heaviest tools nothing will ever burn a hole through it hey or walk with me you see the Supple nature of this bag allows it to fit in places where your classic Toolbox will not fit ensuring that your tools will be with you in your shitbox when you break down and need them the most pick one up at www.chemicalracingequipment.com and for a limited time I'll be throwing in a weatherproof chemical Racing Equipment decal like this without these but smaller with every single order here's five things that I really love about daily driving a square body Chevy number five constant repairs and maintenance see where this is going the amazing part about driving something so simple is that you can literally do everything yourself using cheap basic tools you will never need to take this to any shop for anything the truck is so basic and so many of them have been on the road that there is literally no part that you can't find at almost any junkyard AutoZone Etc as long as it's getting fuel spark and air rolls stops you're good number four expensive yes it's expensive but it really is just a one-time expense and then just maintenance in fact I would call it an investment unlike today's modern cars trucks which are in reality nothing more than disposable appliances Square bodies are only going up in value tell your significant other that you bought it as an investment for both of your future together number three doesn't have all the Comforts as a modern day truck yeah not even close but it's cooler than any new truck will ever be trust me Park this next to 500 F-150s Tacomas Silverados everyone will be looking at your truck it's not even a competition you'll always be the coolest this thing on the road everywhere you go number two loose steering the insanely loose and sloppy steering is amazing because yeah no it sucks and number one big as hell in a square body Chevy you are king of the freaking Road everywhere we go end of story if you like
