    Crazy question

    OP, I just ordered a front panel for my 72 c10 in February. Some of these panels have fitment issues, just the nature of the game when companies use 40+ year old dies, but I will say that the one I ordered is solid, looks as thick as my old one, and I order most of my panels from Jegs because of...

    Looked freaking awful. I liked what they did to the Sammy though on the previous episode.

    Fouling issues

    I was attempting to piggyback on your comment to adjust instead of just slapping it on. An @ probably would have worked better as an agreement with your statement. :High 5:

    Fouling issues

    Just looks like it's running rich. Maybe tune the carb before throwing it all away and starting over? The edlebrock's look fairly simple to adjust. In most scenarios it's the simple answer.

    Weatherstripping

    I ordered the rear cargo door set from Steele rubber based on really good recommendations from here. It hasn't arrived yet. I have heard good things about precision too though and that's what's in a box in the garage for my 72.

    New Duel Exhaust

    I'm using the 2.5 universal rod builder kit from summit it was only like $220 or so, there's enough stuff in the box to run all the way out the back on my 454 c20 burb on both sides. It's not a direct fit though, I'm welding and cutting it up to fit as needed.

    Ingersoll Rand Compressor Problems

    Also it doesn't look like it'd be that hard to rebuild, if you wanted to diy. Looks like a ball bearing on one end, probably both sides of the crank, and a journal for the piston rod. Probably need a set of rings for the piston.

    Ingersoll Rand Compressor Problems

    What you describe doesn't sound like a typical bearing failure. That sounds more like a load related issue. I'd check the belts for proper tension and make sure they aren't worn out, and check the air filters to see if they are clogged. Start on the cheap stuff first.

    Just joined!

    Pretty straight looking burb. She's a big girl, hopefully the 5-0 didn't miss any pirate hatches with meth hidden. Otherwise you might have a bad day if you get pulled over.......

    What have you done to your square lately??

    100%. Man this burb is heavy. My 3 ton jack lifts it but seems to struggle a bit. I think it weighs in a bit over 3 tons. I keep the jack under the crossmember too. Never can be too safe working under a big girl

    Carb swap issues please help!

    Make sure the fuel pump isn't too high pressure. Pretty sure carbed systems only need like 5-7 psi. Could be flooding the carb

    New to the GM Square Body forum and I have a question

    If I had the cash I'd be doing a full QA1 coil over suspension on my 72. Supposed to make them handle like a dream. But my 72 won't be used for much hauling or working.

    Cracked column: rebuild or replace?

    No way to stop a determined thief, you can look into a column lock. It'll at least make it harder for them. Unfortunately, the nature of old trucks makes them pretty easy to steal.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Kicked ass today. Took a pto day from work and welded up the exhaust. I was hoping to go out the back but it gets purty tight, so I think I'm gonna do turn downs right before the axle.

    Thanks, I'm slowly cleaning it up and fixing the leaks. My wife has been dying to drive it since we brought it home.
