    Cross pin bolt snapped

    I ran into this a couple months back and dreaded it until I bought the kit to drill it out and remove the bolt. It was a 5 minute job with it. It has a threaded guide that a long 1/8th in drill bit can flex enough to allow you to drill a hole in the center of the bolts and use an easy out to...

    WTB Shifter *** Thread Closed *** Shifter Aquired.

    I have a B&M Start Shifter that was in a truck I dismantled and is in storage. The issue is, the company web site states it's for a 3 speed transmission, it was attached to a 700R4 in the truck.. that didn't shift right. Let me know if your interested, It may be more hassle than it's worth

    Fuel Line Repair at TBI

    I am going to add my .02 Those fuel lines are 37 years old, I think it's cheap insurance to replace them because nothing good happens once they start leaking. They may be stainless steel braid on the outside but the inside is still rubber or a material that deteriorates.

    Hickey Push Bar

    Stole this from another board, doesn't look like much to build a similar knock off until you could find one.

    Hickey Push Bar

    I spoke with a guy from MotorCityK5 at Dino's who said they are getting into reproducing some of the Hickey stuff although their site only has limited items. https://www.motorcityk5.com/c-9965-hickey-enterprises-exclusive.html What does this brush guard look like? I purchased a parts truck a...

    Headlights upgrade.

    My Hellas are H4 bulbs and 3 wire for low beam and H1 bulbs and 2 wire for high beams. The bulbs have different mounting so it's not like you can just change the bulbs.

    Dim Dash Lights

    When I researched this and went to a parts store site, they list 194 as 4 watts, 168 as 5 watt and 161 as an interchange but didn't have the wattage. I didn't want to fight with the LEDs and ordered the 168s. I will update when I get to it. Alsop make sure your getting the correct voltage and...

    Just started my first hands on squarebody build, looking for advice

    They are out there. They don't' want to hear about your junkyard 5.3 swap, or your intake. cam and rusty headers on your small block. Build something with a new from GM engine and trans, fresh updated interior with Snowden seats, flawless body and paint with all GM sheetmetal, NOS parts used...

    Just started my first hands on squarebody build, looking for advice

    A Roadster Shop Legend chassis with a LT4 and 8L90 with all the options is $104K plus tax and freight. You still need the rest of the truck to put on it.

    Just started my first hands on squarebody build, looking for advice

    Anytime you deviate from stock, you narrow your audience. With that said, IMO, if it's done right and nails the look, somebody will fall in love with it, it will just take longer finding the buyer. Make sure the work you do is quality and looks professional, in other words, don't cut corners...

    Not enough Edelbrock 1406 fuel pressure ?

    As found in their tuning manual: Fuel Pumps and Pressure: Avoid extremes in fuel pressure. At IDLE, there should not be any more than 6.0 psi; if the vehicle has an adjustable fuel-pressure regulator, set it to 5.5 psi. With most fuel pumps the minimum fuel pressure is encountered at high rpm...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    That was obvious from the tires on it when we picked it up, LOL:rotflmao: I finally sold one I had been sitting on for a while to loosen up funds for this one. The past couple of months I have been buying everything needed to get it on the road as a daily driver. I pretty much shot the parts...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    I only used car wash soap the only time I washed it so not to take off any more paint, but yes Purple Power is my go to degreaser and cleanser. I am familiar of what it can do using it too strong.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    The windshield I just replaced was for that , this place is tough on glass that way. The stained are little water splatters all over the glass. I will try to get a picture of them. Most people would just send it but as I said, morning and evening, your directly into the sun, it's hard enough to...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Thank you, nothing else on the market really looks good to me on these trucks other than factory ralley wheels. Jason's Wheel Repair from Chino Ca restored them for me.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Once I get the film or what ever is on there off, you can see water spots etched into the glass. After a couple minutes of trying to polish the glass, it has very defined light scratches and you can still see the water spots. Acid rain? That was a big thing during that era. I remember cars...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    This was an unexpected issue getting the truck ready to go back on the road that I had not encountered before. This was a truck I purchased off a board member's friend in Northern CA a couple years back. The glass was stained with waterspots. I mean so bad I had to drive with the drivers door...

    What new tools have you got lately?

    I had to remove a broken bolt that holds the pin in a differential and after a search of the internet, came up with this: https://www.freedomracing.com/dpk-01-differential-pinion-shaft-lock-bolt-extractor-kit.html I searched here before posting this and see it's been discussed before but leave...

    Anybody know this brand of wheel?

    "Appliance" , maybe?, 70's-early 80's, not sure what happened to them. Remember them from old Hot Rod magazine ads. https://www.ebay.com/itm/304477646827

    Stepside bed differences (edited another question)

    They were welded there from the factory, as for the different welds, over time it would not surprise me to see somebody changed one of the bed side. Step sides are tough to make nice because everything is single panel, there is no place to hide anything.

    Yes, but they do not fit with roller rockers, I originally bought them for my other truck with a hot rod motor in it, trying to get the A/C compressor to fit
