    Painting rally wheel rim

    Yup those are the ones we had painted Colonial Yellow for the '78 Sierra shop truck. Also had the Chevy Sport padded bumpers, yellow of course, and the square mirrors. Those wheels were 15x8 and a set of LR60/15 Goodyear GT Radials fit them nicely. Also dropped the truck a few inches. I used to...

    Painting rally wheel rim

    Interesting about the availability of the 15" 8 lug wagon wheels....I have a set that Dad bought decades ago for one of his projects. IIRC he was told they were off a Toyota one ton. Here's a picture of them(and the aluminum 16.5 slot mags he also bought for that project):

    Painting rally wheel rim

    I've seen lots of trucks with the square body Rallyes, in body color of the truck, or a complementary color like red wheels on a black truck. There's several guys on gmt400.com that have the square body Rallyes, and run either the square style caps or Astro van caps.

    Hubcap Paint

    Not sure of the code #, but I think Ochre is the color for the trim(gold/mustard yellow paint).

    Roundeye 4x4 VAN for sale !

    Cluster is a little different shape but the wheel and column are definitely carryover from the 67-72s. We had several G vans at a prior job, but they were 80s ones so newer style interiors.

    Let’s see your memorabilia?!

    I also have this AC Delco promotion binder, from 1983, with the ads and promo items in it. We had those silver jackets when I was in high school, very cool looking with embroidery. Dad had similar cabinets in the shop. I picked this up at a swap meet a couple years ago; the one we would've had...

    Let’s see your memorabilia?!

    Very nice collection! Great that you're getting the chance to display it.... All my stuff is in various places, don't have much room for displays in a travel trailer. All I have here is my Hot Wheels display case with some of my loose cars and trucks.

    Truck Size

    Yup my buddy's Colorado crew cab, isn't that much smaller than my '97 CCLB. A but shorter though! And a Phord ranger CC is about the same size as my Burb.

    Older badge on 86 K10? Or metal 80’s era badges?

    I like the one from 67/68 that's the big square with the Bowtie on top, orange background and the 10/20/30 inside the square. Nice and simple, gets the message out without too much gaudiness. And then again, the OBS door badges with the Bowtie and 1500/2500/3500 are cool and minimalist too.

    Jack ideas?

    Bottle jacks are good, Dad had some in a few of our square body Burbs. Some of them had a plastic case, and he kept a piece of wood to set the jack on in dirt or gravel. Also he made a block of wood to fit the axle tube, with a hole in the base to go over the jack top. In my OBS Burb I have the...

    New Dad/Daughter Project 78 Cheyenne

    Welcome from Houston, Texas. I grew up with our family square body trucks (3 GMC pickups and 5 Burbs, GMC and Chevy). Dad taught me a lot about cars, working on these and our other family vehicles. He's been gone 5 1/2 years, but I think he watches me working on our trucks.

    76 GMC C25 Suburban 3-point seat belt trim question

    Nice looking Burb, we had a '75 GMC C15 that was that honey gold metallic color. It was an Estate with the vinyl woodgrain on the sides inside the trim. We sold it to a guy in Conroe who was planning on fixing it up and putting a big block back in it. He'd had it a few days when a big storm came...

    Trailer Wiring Adapter

    The trailer wiring harness adapters that plug in between the two halves of the rear wiring harness, should be the same for all square body trucks. If you have a Northern Tool store in your area, they have them too. Got mine from there, for my crew cab. The one on my Burb came from Rock Auto on...

    1972 GMC C10

    We never could find a match for the '77 trim paint on our C25 GMC Burb...but I'm guessing Dad never thought of this. Our '67 C10 steppy was that pale butter yellow, and the '78 Sierra shop truck was Colonial Yellow, which has just a touch of orange in it to keep it from being buttermilk yellow...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    What Dad did, on a couple of our Burbs, was glue some automotive carpet(real short pile) to the backer board after we got it cleaned off. 3M spray trim adhesive is what we used, IIRC. The carpet strips were narrower than the original headliner so we got a couple extra top bows to cover the...

    Square body truck diecast for sale

    I don't, but I'll ask my buddy I got them from, if he does. He's a teacher so I'll get with him tonight. That's the situation on the Zinger; I do have more of the Hot Wheels black '83 Silverado with the red and orange stripes.
