    The new guy from Texas

    Welcome from the Tarheel State, Lucas. That looks like a fantastic ride you have and I'm partial as it is the same color as my dad's truck that he bought new in 79. He too was a logger and put over 400K miles on the C20 while he was alive. Come on in and have a good look around. HS

    Is your truck painted? Primer hides alot of damage/imperfections that shiny & reflective paint won't dismiss. Interior stuff isn't cheap & neither is body & paint. I can't believe that a car would be in a non-running condition due to a $25 ignition coil & 20 minute fix. If I made the trade...

    Howdy from WA

    Welcome from Central NC. I'm getting stuff together to fix my 76 High Sierra K10. I'm jealous that yours is not a rot-box like my junk. Keep the progress pics coming. HS

    The 4 bolt main LIE !!! Or is it???

    Everyone gets excited to pull the pan on a 3970010 & see the four-bolt caps in the center. Having said, the teenage version of me was helping my bud build a 350 with 041 heads & Melling cam. This was Christmas of 1990 & I knew about as much about engines than I did p$ssy...I did like both...

    14 Bolt 10.5" Rear Axle -FOUND-

    We had a 79 C30 car hauler that the tube broke out of the center section. Makes for a bad day for certain. I understand wanting a direct swap for the ease of the job too. HS

    14 Bolt 10.5" Rear Axle -FOUND-

    I used an '04 Savana with dual piston calipers on my '55 6100. I had to relocate the spring & shock perches but I love the added track width that evens the front & rear.

    New Guy from RI

    Welcome from NC. I just went thru idle issues with an 87 V10. CTS & pigtail, thermostat, IAC, MAP & checked all vacuum. Ran rich & idled irradic. Access DLC & 12 code was all it listed. I replaced the PCM & cured the issue. Maybe this info will help. HS

    Latest Lost Cause Project: 1979 Z28

    Drive it and enjoy! I am a fan of making them pretty but all too often folks go overboard and sink far too much time, energy, resources and MONEY into a ride. I like my stuff shiny but I'll drive one primered, Calico, zebra'd...as long as it runs right. I commented earlier that you have a...

    all time 4 wheel drive

    There's a whole lot that ain't right with that rig BUT when dealing with 40+ year-old trucks there is plenty that can be "modified" or "repurposed" among these Squares. I see your handle of 72 Camaro and am disappointed that we did not get a pic of that. Welcome to the site and I'm just taking a...

    '89 K5 Blazer

    The K5 is already injected so a 350 replacement is common sense answer. Welcome from NC also. HS

    What have you done to your square lately??

    I finally got my K25 home. My SIL drove it while I tailed him; it sounds wicked with the .525 cam & long tube headers. He can't wait to rip it through the field! Here it is with the younger grandson. Healthy Square

    Y'all ever seen this color?

    My 76 High Sierra is code 73 Crimson Red and it looks like that...or did 30 years ago. My 79 Cardinal Red and it is darker than the truck in the pic. HS

    Rust Repair on Squarebody Chevy

    If it were easy then EVERYONE would do it. There have been countless vehicles scrapped due to the inability to make such repairs. Sir, I commend thee! HS

    What have you done to your square lately??

    I have a few more engines that have been in the wait so may as well put one together for future use. I have an old stove bolt 6 on the floor that we bust off ever now & then. It's sitting on wood blocks & strapped to a bench leg. HS

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Been kinda hunt-peck on my Squares. I ordered a set of tall valve covers for the roller rockers on the 454 K25. I’m almost ready to fire this 350 that we’ve refreshed also. I want to make a run stand to get the new cam broken in, that’s another entire project as well. I want the engine ready...
