    Just bought this 87 square body in TN and it’s now home in North Carolina where i’m going to restore it

    At first I was like yuss, black and silver. Then I was all yusssssss, silver and black. Oh, and welcome and stuff. We require photos as trade for advice and interaction here. It is the standard internet forum protocol for all your new friends.

    Boat speakers in c10?

    Please use quality wire and something much better than what has been used in the boat. Those are teeny tiny wires for your sound system. You can most certainly use the boat stuff in your truck as like mentioned above it is just more water resistant.

    Which aftermarket LED headlights?

    Max has a set of Bangin Headlights and they work quite well as they are projector lights. They have the glass lense and that was what Max was after for the set in his '49 truck. He just told me to talk to George. George may also do a group buy as he is a small business that builds these out of...

    Whats your opinion these welders?

    We have this one going on 4 years now and it has been great so far. I know it is not the size you are looking for, this is just for the experience with the brand.

    Anyone going to the Portland Swap Meet this year (2025)?

    Random photos from a couple years ago... Our haul from a rainy day at the track. The wagon and the shopping cart are full. The headers in the cart are for a Dart with a BB and retail for right at $1000. The kid with us that bought them, he paid $80.

    Anyone going to the Portland Swap Meet this year (2025)?

    Love this swap meet. If you have never been to it, you should go. You should also budget yourself at least two days to peruse all that there is to see. There is the upper show at the Expo center and the lower show that is spread out over the entirety of Portland International Raceway. I / we...

    Did this K20 come factory with catalytic converter?

    Just for the FYI of it.... My Canadian born and raised truck had a cat under it. So I have to keep them under it to pass the test. Lame. However, it has passed the sniffer test with empty cats the last couple of times through... And yes, the speedo measures units of maple syrup still.

    Just for another set of pictures to look at, this is what my rear end guy sent for pictures of my Suburbans new gear set. All finished and ready to go. It has been 4 years now and no issues.

    K30 crew cab headers???

    1979 C20 and I used 1968 - 72 Nova headers on it. They fit like a glove and tuck up real nice like.

    Exhaust pipe kits from @mazon/ eBay

    Yes. We have used two kits from Eastwood and two kits from DNA on ebay / Amazon. Wherever you can get the best deal. For the raw steel systems, we just used barbeque black spray paint for corrosion resistance. This is what was first put under my son's '49 truck, then he finished the tailpipes...

    Harbor Freight Table and carts

    I built my main shop bench in my apartment garage a long time ago. It was purpose built to fit the nose of my '72 Chevelle under it as it was a super shallow garage space. I squeezed all I could out of that tiny space many years ago. And I still have the desk.

    73-80 454ci spec questions.

    Zombie thread revival. As many know, I started bone stock. Not even the lid was flipped until we got started with it. First came a cobbled together 2-1/2" exhaust as the one on the truck was basically falling off. Like the muffler dropped as the boy was driving his Ma around in it. Flowmaster...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Cleaned the bed out and Junior took his quad out to his girlfriends house to ride. Now the transmission pops out of 3rd gear. Choices have to be made soon. Fix the trans I don't like with snap rings and shift forks. Or start the conversion to 4L80 I have. Hmmmm....

    Recommend Me a Reliable/Budget Serpentine Kit

    I pulled the set up off a 1992 V8 Camaro. It cost $80 out the door with the alternator and power steering pump on the brackets. I am all over the factory setups as well because you can find them everywhere now.

    LED Shop Lights That Last??

    I do not have 8 foot bulbs. But I do have many many of the 4 foot single tube fixtures from Harbor Freight all over the garage. They seem to have lasted for at least a few years inside the garage and mounted up under the eaves of the house in front of the garage. For about $20 each, I will keep...

    What new tools have you got lately?

    I got a chance to use the new to me old Skilsaw the other day to cut a pair of plywood sheets in half. Dang'd old thing works like a champ and even has a sharp blade on it still.
