Adapting a flatbed to a 1981 gmc 3500 / k30
I would recommend trying to find the factory type bed cross rails that that would have bolted onto your frame from Factory. They are the right height to match the top of those wheel humps on the frame so you have a nice level mounting points to attach the flatbed too without having to make...- LJ69

Adapting a flatbed to a 1981 gmc 3500 / k30
I put an aluminum flat bed on a single wheel 1 ton truck at work last spring and the flatbed we got had 2 rails that ran from the front to the back of the bed and were attached to each of the cross rails on the bed by what essentially was a bunch of little clamp type fasteners. Only had to...- LJ69

Muffler recommendations
Yeah it was similar to Magnaflow in sound. Although what I had wasn't called FlowFX it was designed and built like the FlowFX series they are selling now. It had the same straight through design encased in stainless steel like the FX series. I remember looking into one end of the muffler and...- LJ69

Muffler recommendations
They didn't have that many options back then, but I just looked at what they are selling now and what I had seems to now be be the FlowFX series mufflers. Sorry for the slow response.- LJ69

Muffler recommendations
I like Flowmaster mufflers. They aren't as loud as chery bombs but have a nice sound and are stainless steel with all welded joints. I had them on a daily driver that was driven regularly in salty winter conditions for 7 years and still looked great and perfectly solid (unlike the rest of the...- LJ69

Windshield Wiper Intermittent Function
It sounds to me like the intermittent wiper/ Delay module is bad or missing. It's tucked up under the dash close to the base of the steering colum. If you lay on your back on the driver side floor you should be able to find it with a flashlight. It is rectangular with silver colored, I think...- LJ69

Trailering your square body
When towing a trailer you always want to have more weight in the front (on the tongue) of the trailer. If the load is heavy in the back and light in the front, the trailer will want to speed wabble at high speeds. So load trucks front first to keep more weight in the front. I just trailered home... -
I finally got me a squarebody
I will definitely be rust-proofing. I'm a woolwax guy. I buy fluid-film nas by the 5 gal bucket. I hit all my vehicles with it once a year.- LJ69

I finally got me a squarebody
Thanks for the warm welcome everyone. I don't have many pics but here is what I took of it when I picked it up. I like shiny things, lol, so I'm going to swap the black bumpers and grille for chrome sometime but got some mechanical stuff to sort out first.- LJ69

I finally got me a squarebody
Hello there everyone. Just testing the waters here. I'm new to squarebodys and forums but not new to trucks. I have been drooling over squarebody Chevys since I was a teenager but never could quite get my hands on a Squarebody either for financial or practicality reasons. Finally, many years...- LJ69
