    Goodbye to my Square

    I sold my Square after I picked up my new truck. I couldn't keep both and needed some cash more than an extra pickup. Last photo before giving to the next owner. He hopefully will give it the resto that I never could: One day I'll take a trailer and the new truck down South to pick up...

    Running Hot?

    With the weather getting warmer (sorta) out here I'm starting to worry about the operating temperature of my K10. The gauge reads 210 when I'm stopped at a light, and usually stays there between 15-50MPH. Sometimes it'll surge to 220. On a hotter day it hit maybe 240 and I started to panic...

    Front Brakes - replace? turn? etc?

    I pulled the front wheels off the pickup this afternoon and I'm wondering what I should do now. The truck has plenty of stopping power, enough to lock the tires at will. But they squeal, they pull a little bit to the left, and vibrate. I'm looking at these brakes and I'm wondering what I...

    Let's Talk Welding

    I can't stand looking at my rusted out rockers and cab corners on my Square any longer. I've never welded, but I'll be damned if I'm going to pay someone else to repair the sheetmetal on this money pit. I have no delusions that I'll buy a welder, grab a couple patch panels and get it done...

    Transmission Indicator Cable

    I'm not sure what it's called exactly - the orange pin that indicates transmission gear position. I went to replace it today and I realized that the issue was the cable wasn't hooked up to anything. I've been searching the shift column and haven't found anything. Where do I hook the cable end to?

    Power Steering Belt Adjustment

    I've got an 84 K10 that was a 305 and the PO put in a 350 SBC. The main belt looks tight, but the power steering belt is sagging. How do I adjust it?

    Blown Shocks?

    I am a new owner of a 1984 K10 1/2ton. It has 35x12.5 tires on it, and what I'd guess is a 4 inch lift. I'm still not sure how to measure it exactly. My truck seems to be bouncing around, quite a stiff ride. I'm guessing I have blown shocks? It there an easy way to test that? And if I wanted...

    Front Drive Shaft Bolts

    I have a 1987 K10 Pickup with 10 Bolt front Axle (not sure the ratio yet). I have a front driveshaft but I lack the 4 bolts on the transfercase side and I'm missing one of the four bolts on the differential side. Where do I get these bolts? What specifications do I need? Strength etc. Also...

    Dead 700R4 - Now what?

    I'm pretty sure that I have a nearly useless 700R4. It puked trans fluid out of the dip stick and all over transfer case. Consequently a few things caught fire in the engine bay. I towed it home and found the fluid burned and a fine mud stuck around the magnet in the pan. Overdrive is completely...

    Newbie Carb and Engine ID Questions

    This 1984 Chevy k10 is my first Chevy, first carburated engine, and its actually older than me. So I've got some real basic questions for the experts. The engine is supposed to a "rebuilt" 350 and I see a Edelbrock carb and intake manifold. What carb do you think this is specifically...

    New guy from IL

    I wanted to drop a thread here as I just got a 1984 Chevy Scottsdale Pickup. She has a lot of problems, but I wanted a project. It definitely had more problems than I was told about from the previous owner, but not much I can do about it now. It has a "rebuilt 350" and a 700R4 that is...
