    Door Latch Hardware Question

    Ah, yes. I ordered a pair of those, as well, seeing as how I managed to lose mine in the shuffle of things. Gen-1 squares used them for the long rod, too. But all squares use that clip to attach the outside handle to the latch mechanism. So if you’ve got a hood that folds in half, you need...

    Door Latch Hardware Question

    I’ve ordered new ones from a site called “USA1Industries” which sounds sketchy AF, but since I paid with PayPal I can always get refunded if they don’t come through. The product photos looked like it was for a larger hole. I’ll see if these ones work before I go modifying any OEM parts.

    Door Latch Hardware Question

    That’s a thought. If I can’t figure out a direct fit part, I could definitely weld a plug in it and then drill a smaller hole, too. That’s a lot of work, for something so simple. Thanks for the idea.

    Door Latch Hardware Question

    I have my ‘83 K20 project going and I got my order of nylon rod clips for the door latches in the mail. I ordered part numbers “K4013” and “A20675” from Classic Industries. When I went to put them in, just now, I found that the holes in the latch mechanism are 5/16” and the diameter of those...

    Front caliper cores

    I’ve got a pair of GM D52 caliper cores and was wondering if there’s enough of a market with rebuilders or whatever or should I just throw them in with the scrap pile? I’m not looking to sell them, but I don’t wanna pay shipping in order to give them away either.

    Sway bar bushings

    I'm fighting with my bushings. Couldn't help but notice he said he wasn't able to get the rear bushings pressed in himself and had to go to a tire shop to get it done... That really takes the DIY out of it all, doesn't it?

    How Will My Square Body Look With XX Lift and XX Tires?

    Yeah, it’s gonna ride like a lawn tractor.

    Front caliper upgrade?

    Definitely a consideration for a straight swap without any other changes. I already swapped the rear to discs and will be using an adjustable proportioning valve whenever I get around to plumbing.

    Front caliper upgrade?

    The surface area of the inside of the piston(s) is in direct proportion to the force that can be applied with a given amount of hydraulic pressure. So a caliper with larger piston area pushes harder than one with smaller of the brake is stepped on with the same force.

    Front caliper upgrade?

    Funny thing about me is I like to be able to a stop… My calipers are pretty crusty anyhow and I was toying with the idea of a more powerful braking experience. I came across Wilwood’s 140-11290 kit which is a D52 replacement bolt on caliper set that has dual 2” pistons rather than the single 2...

    How Will My Square Body Look With XX Lift and XX Tires?

    Rough Country told me to just use a single shock for their kit, even though I have a quad shock setup. I’d prefer to keep the quads. Did you just use two of the same shock up front or did you have to do some figuring?

    Single glass side window/Wing delete

    That’s a great idea. I have a one piece setup on order and have been doing body work on the doors anyway. I’m going to give this real consideration. Thanks for the tip!

    ‘86 Wiper/Washer Switch Relocate

    Yeah, it’s a little bulb that uses the common ground and its own hot lead which I’m assuming is on the same circuit at the dash lights, so they all dim together.

    Driver Floor Pan

    It is available. The shipping cost was a deal-breaker.

    Driver Floor Pan

    So… The local mail store gave me a quote of $71 to ship it to the next state over from me! So if someone wants to get ripped off on shipping, that’s fine with me… Alternatively, I’m in Danbury CT so if someone wants to pick it up, I can do that.
