Gas spilling when filling up
Mine was doing that due to some really old fuel lines that had split on the vent side of things... I'd start by looking at all the lines which probably means dropping the tank unfortunately. I was fortunate enough that all the affected lines were out in the open. Unfortunate in the fact that...- SlickGTP

What have you done to your square lately??
Replace the 52 year old radiator bushings the other week... Also had a little help, which was nice. :cool: -
1978 Suburban just came in to a local yard
Hot damn... I wonder how good the passenger inner/outer fender and front doors are. Not sure when I'd be able to make it down there. Too many chores and family activities for me to make it in the next week or two. -
What have you done to your square lately??
I did mine years ago... Still going strong. Rebuilt the power booster and several other items on the old girl with the idea of saving a little money and learning how the different systems on the truck work. I think the steering box was the most anxiety inducing as if you get it wrong the... -
Muffler recommendations
I like my Magnaflows for similar reasons of carfanatic63... Every once in awhile, I think of getting slightly longer ones to tamp it down a bit more, but then I think it's more about insulating the cab and getting that settled. :) Here's a video of mine from awhile back:- SlickGTP

What have you done to your square lately??
The kids love to get in there and pretend/explore... I should learn to just make sure they haven't changed something before I think it's broke. lol -
What have you done to your square lately??
Recently figured out why I kept blowing the fuse for the high blower speed(wrong size fuse) and then had the fan speed selection go completely dead on me the next time or two I took the truck out. Figured I had blown some other fifty year old component out and was prepared to start buying parts... -
What have you done to your square lately??
Finally reinstalled the grille after about a decade of putting it off... Now I just need to keep the momentum up and work on all the other stuff. -
What have you done to your square lately??
Haven't done much in awhile except install the correctly sized fuse for the High Blower Setting... I kept wondering why I was blowing the 15amp fuse only to find out from other threads that I had undersized it substantially. Now I start dreaming of A/C, Stereo, and all the other things that... -
R12 to 134. Whats really needed to do this swap for a great working system. All parts needed?
I hope you have power back by now... We've been relatively lucky being out on the west side. Thanks for the thread! I've been meaning to see what it would take to put the A/C back in the Ol' Girl. Figured a minimum of new hoses, rebuild the compressor, and flush the system, but wasn't sure...- SlickGTP

Oops. Probably shouldn't have done that.
If you only have one tank installed, you could just eliminate the solenoid and just install hoses from the existing tank to the fuel lines going up to the pump. Minimizes failure points and simplifies life on the whole. I went the other route and installed a factory aux tank and complicated my...- SlickGTP

Replace old pump or keep it?
I've rebuilt the pump, hydroboost, and steering box on mine. They aren't hard, you just have to pay attention to the details. I think the steering box was the scariest out of the bunch since if you mess that up you could lock up your steering mid turn. I tested the crap out of it before I...- SlickGTP

What have you done to your square lately??
Filled up both tanks to the tune of an empty wallet... :eek: Probably burned an eight of a tank just getting home an' enjoying the sound of the secondaries opening up.
