    Fuel Lines and My Small Block

    Almost ready to fire mine up and have a question about the fuel lines on my '83 C10. I put a new fuel tank and sending unit in before I bought the engine. Now that the engine is in I remembered that the sending unit has two fuel lines coming out of it but the engine only has one gas inlet. The...

    Anyone have these 250 motor mounts?

    I don't have the parts for the engine but I do have the frame brackets and brand new rubber mounts that I did not use on my 283.

    What did you pay for a square

    In 1982 I bought a brand new C10 with 6-cylinder and three on the tree. Many years (and too many computer-oriented vehicles) later I found my current C10 sitting in a field with a For Sale sign on it: $2500 but was about to get off with paying $2250. It had decent tires and rims on it, a tired...

    Elementary Question About Rocker Panels

    Ah... that's the reason I asked before going any further. I still need to sand and paint the fenders but I can put them on, mock up the rockers and tack in place. Thanks for the response!

    Elementary Question About Rocker Panels

    I've done my share of body work and rust repair on semis but this is my first square body. My question: do I need to leave the fenders off while replace the rocker panels? I've entertained the idea of bolting the fenders back on but something tells me that may not be the right way of doing it...

    Age of our members

    I'm 71 going onto 18 according to my wife. Owned a brand new '82 C10, 6 cylinder with three on the tree as it used to be called. After railing about computers in cars and trucks I told the wife I wanted something with NO electronics in it, she agreed after seeing the price of parts for doing my...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Been working on honey-do projects like painting our shed and building a new chicken coop so Old School has been on hold. Sorry for the nasty floor but we had one of our famous Florida rains last night. UPS man brought new patch panels for the inner outer rocker panels from JL Fabrication in VA...

    Fender Bolt Thingies

    Bolt is too small but looks good for when I start on the rest of the rust, I mean the cab.

    Cool, I'll go out and check the new replacements. Bought a front-clip from a guy so these 'should' still be there. That's for info about adjustments.

    Fender Bolt Thingies

    Looks like #15 is the part for the square hole, then 14 is the bolt. Thanks!

    Fender Bolt Thingies

    The other picture I just posted shows a clean hole, I didn't cut any welds. Once I cut the lower bolt in half the rest fell out onto the ground.

    Fender Bolt Thingies

    Don't think so, both were rusted bad enough that Blaster wouldn't help. Fenders are shot so I cut them out to keep from messing up the cab itself. This is picture of the square hole that this thing fits into and I think it has a sort of a spring attachment to hold it in the square hole.
