LONGBED LARRY

ANOTHER UNIQUE TRUCK BY SQUAREBODY SPECIALISTS IS APPROACHING COMPLETION, AND THIS TIME IT’S AN OFTEN-IGNORED LONG-BED. Longbed Larry, an ’83 C-10, has a great deal of sentimental value to its owner. Given to him by his father when he was

15, Steven Hullinger’s dad passed away soon after, making this truck that much more important to him. Through the years, Steven drove the truck on his first date, his prom, his honeymoon and home from the hospital after the birth of both of his kids. As you can guess, it’ll never leave Steven’s family.

The C-10 has been going through a lot of restomodding, which includes saving just about all of the original sheet metal. Squarebody Specialists is going the extra mile to preserve the truck’s history while adding a lot of custom touches. For example, the original seat upholstery will be stitched onto the back of the new Relicate leather-covered seat. How cool is that?

Other mods include an LS swap, narrowed rearend, one-off 22-inch Hot Rods by Boyd wheels, Slosh Tubz Mild Tubz, sectioned/smoothed/ tucked bumpers, onepiece front/side/rear glass, custom gauges, billet interior accents and a Kicker audio system.
