Chevy / GMC Trucks (1973-1987) - How to Build and Modify
GM's squarebody trucks are durable, simple, and widely available, making them ideal for modification. These American classics have become the modern hot rods for a new generation.
Veteran editor Jim Pickering examines why these trucks are popular and details modifications to update their classic appearance and performance. The book reviews all major systems and provides guidance to create a truck that is fast, safe, visually appealing, and reliable for everyday use.
Produced in large numbers over an 18-year run, squarebody trucks are easy to find, but selecting a good starting point and planning the build are essential.
Topics include sourcing a truck, LS engine installations, air suspension and coilover setups, automatic and manual transmissions (including six-speed conversions), cooling upgrades, integrating modern alternators, converting mechanical clutches to hydraulic systems, new fuel and brake lines, 4-link rear suspension, under-bed fabrication, exhaust construction, LED lighting, interior restoration, and more.
For anyone building a squarebody truck intended for regular driving, this book provides the most complete and authoritative guide available.
