    What have you done to your square lately??

    I broke the tool box, made a cradle out of angle and got it back in and working. I also kind of ripped the HF crane out of the bed. I got it reinstalled and have started to fix the hole in the bed. It's so nice to have the truck back to being a usable tool again. I've missed having the crane...

    Put 185 retaining wall blocks in the bed. The bumper was pretty low....Apparently 185 blocks at 24 pounds each equals waaaaaaaay overloaded the ol girl.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    well, turns out if you keep tow chains, tools, farm jacks, jumper cables, balls and hitches and miscellaneous other stuff in an aluminum truck box, the box has a tendency to rip. I've spent a few nights already welding a cradle to hold the truck box. I'm also taking the opportunity to make a...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    today I drug a 1990 Geo Metro drop top to the mechanic. I wish I had a tommy lift; we could have just thrown the Geo in the bed. That little car is so light it was hard to tell it was still attached.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    spent friday night soldering the power window wires in. spent saturday and sunday waiting for the window to quit working again. but it didn't so I put the pretty parts back on the door. It's kind of weird not pulling the door shut with the open holes in the door and not having a cold draft...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    spent some time making the drivers window go up and down and stay in the channels. also put the interior parts back on the door so it's all buttoned up and pretty. the other window doesn't go up and down now but I have heat, working vent and drivers windows so i'm going to call it a win for now.

    Drivers window jumps out of channel

    I wanted to say 'Thanks' to everyone that helped get me on the right path. Last night I made the time to look at the rear channel and found that the mounting point has weakened and started to split. I fixed it temporarily with a washer and now the window goes down and stays in the channel. Of...

    got the replacement parts from LMC for the bits and pieces that broke during my temper tantrum. If it warms up at all or i can get her into the house I'm going to get the drivers window going up and down again this weekend.

    Drivers window jumps out of channel

    i'll order a new bumper when I reorder the switch and pigtail connector. both of which are in pieces strewn about the immediate area around the truck. Never would have gone after the rear guide....thanks!!

    Hey, yeah, I did that when I went from crank to power.

    Drivers window jumps out of channel

    Background: This 1984 truck originally had crank windows and I changed them over to power two years ago. Periodically, the window would stop part way up (or down, depending on your world outlook) but that was because of my wiring prowess. I've replaced the felt and that's been a bit of a problem...

    In Texas it's perfect. But then, perfection is how we do things here. oh, yeah. Got the new grill for the ol girl.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    pulled the intake and put gaskets in that don't leak and pulled the heater core. put in a new heater core, checked the lines but still no heat. I'm guessing I didn't knock out something on the water pump... fixed the connection for the tach so now all the gauges work
