    Gas spilling when filling up

    Are the clamps on the fuel fill inlet rubber hose tight and is the rubber in good condition? Sounds like a leak where the fuel goes in the tank

    What have you done to your square lately??

    On 470? It's been decades since I have been back to ground zero and didn't realize 470 HAD hills. Last I knew it went from I 25 west to hwy 85, across the Platte river and out to Martin Marietta. I'm not surprised at it becoming a loop freeway for the metro area. Suppose I should fire up the...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Ha ha, that is about right. Not quite there yet, but I do have a convoluted method for making the rumbles. So much so, that it's only suitable for putting around the radio ranch and barely that. If you stall, you have to return to the button of fun to get funning again. Amazing how fast it...

    My Roadkill-esque punch list grew some, using just the amazing powers of observation and the voice of experience. Just as life is getting, complicated. Lol, I'm going to need the distraction.

    Help me identify the A/C system in our 1979 Scottsdale

    That might be quite an investigation in your near future. Maybe someone has some old copies of the JC Whitney catalog to check

    Be gentle, that steel is really thin and it would be easy to go from tapped hole and one nut to stripped hole and two nuts. Be sure there's a lip on that screw head to contain that wascally wascal.

    And all this is without putting one single mile down with it yet. In 3 years now. I can imagine that the list will grow after the 'maiden voyage'. Should add remove windshield and check for rot in window area, need to figure out where all this rust came from around the corroded fuse block.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    I wondered how I was going to remedy the PRNDL problem I discovered, where the radius is in the cluster housing to change direction for the pull wire. Someone pulled real hard at some point, breaking the radius off and mangling the part of the PRNDL display that the orange line trolleys in...

    1977 C20 Heavy duty with 11.15 drums?

    I love the photodramatic views of 11" & 13", excellent reference. My helpful(?) hint was do what I did and pull off a wheel and read the max diameter value stamped into the drum. But, duh... The pictures are a great indicator of what to look for. Thanks AuroraGirl, good looking out!

    Twitchy steering with a big travel trailer (rear sway bar help?)

    Unless ordered on SRW in the camper special world, perhaps part of Z83 on the glovebox list for 1979. That feature along with the big block is what sold me on it originally.

    Whip antenna for CB on a Suburban

    Have you considered a quarter wave ground plane for your home station? Easy to make out of copper wire, an SO-239 jack and some masons twine. Or use a 102" whip like I did off the tool truck. Like this
