    What have you done to your square lately??

    Also, I don't think I got the Toyotas last time. The panel truck has been relocated but I did snap a pic of it last time. Also got the blazer last time which is why I didn't focus on it.

    Yes but the two tone square was new I believe. That's what had me pull in this time around. 83-85 K. It had the spindles that you have to adjust on it.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Made a run to the dump on the other side of town as the dump we use in our neck of the woods is closed for renovations until 5/6. Oh wellz, just meant I had to drive a little longer, excellent. Would have posted in the "Put Your Square To Work" thread but it was just a few measly small trees...

    @TotalyHucked I know you mentioned inner fenders produced at AMD now on here for someone needing them but I cannot recall what thread. In the last GM Scene I saw the spot in the new products section and scanned the QR code. Looks reasonable $45 per fender and ~$50 oversize shipping fee (to...

    Steering Stabilizer Different Than Current One Even When Said To Be Exact Fit/ Bolt Doesn't Fit Through Tie Rod

    @Dutch Rutter , @nvrenuf , @bucket , @Turbo4whl ...thank you all for such quick responses. I am a "shade tree" mechanic and am a chef/deli grocery guy by trade so all input is helpful for me. I really love doing things to my truck and hone both my grandfather's intuition when doing so. Fairly...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Finally got the steering stabilizer on. And took it for a spin, after hosing off days of pollen collected. There is just a touch more firmness to the turning and actually a little bit of recoil when letting go. It feels a little better. Cruised through the neighborhood and hit up Advance to buy...

    Steering Stabilizer Different Than Current One Even When Said To Be Exact Fit/ Bolt Doesn't Fit Through Tie Rod

    Got this resolved. Double nut method, a vice grip, PB Blaster, and breaker bar got it loose. Mallet popped it right out. One older but perfectly fine stud that fits the light duty 1/2 ton tie rod, as @bucket stated, and one new stud for the bracket attached to the axle tubing. Thank you all for...

    Do you think this tie rod is not original to the truck? It looks like it is when your face is right up on it but who knows...

    Steering Stabilizer Different Than Current One Even When Said To Be Exact Fit/ Bolt Doesn't Fit Through Tie Rod

    It definitely doesn't have a tapered hole that the new studs need. It is actually just a straight shot, no taper. I took a picture earlier...

    Steering Stabilizer Different Than Current One Even When Said To Be Exact Fit/ Bolt Doesn't Fit Through Tie Rod

    Yes I am going to try the double nut method and see if I can pry them out. The old studs are a match to the new studs as far as size, the old and new nuts fit on both old and new threads. What I am trying to say is the new hardware has the same size nuts. I just need the old studs to make it...

    Steering Stabilizer Different Than Current One Even When Said To Be Exact Fit/ Bolt Doesn't Fit Through Tie Rod

    Trust me I tried both ways. I will try again tomorrow just to triple check but either way the threads do not go far enough through the tie rod. It's like they didn't make the threads go down far enough.

    Steering Stabilizer Different Than Current One Even When Said To Be Exact Fit/ Bolt Doesn't Fit Through Tie Rod

    Yes. That is what the diagram shows from the box. Threads on both sides. Neither side is long enough for threads to breach the other side of the tie rod and secure a nut to it. I will have to post more pics tomorrow.
