    1978 K20

    I sold the old girl today, I was kinda sad and kinda happy... it was a solid old truck mechanically but really lacked creature comfort an old man like me needs. :) It was older than the guy I sold it to...

    Hello & Seeking Restoration Info

    Mine was just a rebuild... not even close to a restoration... I love it but I spent too much on it. I've got a friend that has over 50K in a Dodge Challenger resto that he hasn't seen in three years... it's at a shop in the north west somewhere.

    The one on the right looks kinda like mine, a ‘78 with a 400/203 combo Not sure about that extra bend on the top side though…

    Container based shop: 2 post lift placement advice?

    Any type of lift needs a “footer” under the posts to be adequately safe… I know many don’t, and nothing happens until it does

    What should I do with this toolbox?

    I had two similar to that, one I hauled into where I work part time and set it up... I'll leave it there when I retire. The other was in worse shape, I "donated" it to the local thrift shop.. meaning I left it by their dumpster. :)

    LMC Vent Window Rebuild

    I did both of mine, the window set was no problem, the outer frame rubbers are a whole different game though... they killed these old hands, and I tried every trick in the book.

    1978 K20

    I'm going to sell my 1978 K20, it's undergone a fairly extensive rebuild over the last two years. It's all been documented here.. Thread 'New Project 1978 K20 Scottsdale' https://www.gmsquarebody.com/threads/new-project-1978-k20-scottsdale.41246/ The body isn't great, it's a "30 Footer" but it...

    What new tools have you got lately?

    It's warming up and I've got several vehicles to get clean. This little 120v Craftsman pressure washer has really helped tremendously. Quick to hook up and just enough pressure to get the job done.

    Rear speakers for K10 with 3 point seatbelt

    Oops, I had just assumed his '77 were like mine... but I didn't have a pic. There's another difference in these trucks to make note of. :)

    Rear speakers for K10 with 3 point seatbelt

    Without pics it's just wind.... The "Search" function here will show numerous seat belt discussions. Those big original plastic colored seat belt covers... in my '78 the retractors mount to the floor and the covers were basically just cracked plastic bits. The replacement retractors I've found...
