    Climate is not the issue. It's this adulting and work thing that gets in the way of my personal garage schedule... HS

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Thanks. It's still a bit disheveled due to the passing of our folks (all 4 in as many years). We got all the "stuff" that siblings didn't want. Much of that is under the lean-to. It's a 30x60x12. & I love being able to use it about 8 months a year! HS

    I haven't done much at home. I've put a few hours in on the 78 K25 @ school & will share pics of that later. I've finally gotten back in my home shop really since August. Looks like I left it... HS

    454 Grille Badge

    I have bought quite a bit of stuff from the Holley/Brothers clearance the last year. I actually got new 350 & 400 grille emblems as they were around $10. I didn't see any 454 or I'd bought a couple of those as well. @Rustisbest did a good job on his custom emblem and I'm certain that you could...

    Dana 44, corporate 10 bolt front ends, 6 lug to 8 lug

    Now I realize why I am a hoarder! I've got a D44HD ripped down and in the corner of the shop. I even have a set of the external "Selectro" hubs for it. Wow, new stuff is expensive! HS-hoardin' sumbich

    1991 Suburban 3/4 ton: TBI to Holley Sniper conversion - stupid, or worth it?

    I may do that when I get a few hours to devote to messing with it. Thanks for the info. I've been sorely disappointed with the Sniper on this car. HS

    1991 Suburban 3/4 ton: TBI to Holley Sniper conversion - stupid, or worth it?

    I've bought my (wife's) 80Z28 back a couple years ago. It has been "updated" with a Sniper since my building it 15 years ago & I'm very disappointed with it. There's a puny 20 gauge wire for the HEI & it has killed two distributors already. After buying this car back & running (initially) with...

    87 Chevy TBI IAC Troubleshooting

    It ran but doing it horribly. Accessing the DLC with either a "Brick" or a paperclip it would only read "12". That code meant the ECM was accessed. At that point I knew how "fat or rich" it was running that there should be another code (at least 1) posted. Swapped ECM & it will now roast the...

    87 Chevy TBI IAC Troubleshooting

    I used my Solus & a paperclip to diagnose mine. It would only post "12" letting me know the PCM had been accessed. I was fortunate enough to have another parts vehicle that had the same ECM calibration number. I swapped the ECM & cured my issue. HS

    87 Chevy TBI IAC Troubleshooting

    Just did an ECM replacement on my '87. It ran super FAT at idle (iraddic) & would not remit any trouble codes. Swapped with another ECM & it strained the issue out. HS

    Welcome from Central NC. Good luck finding the truck that meets all your criteria. I have an '87 that will be for sale soon & it checks many of the boxes that you desire though. DM if interested. HS

    What have you done to your square lately??

    There comes a point to where you must decide "is this going to be a pavement princess or a useful truck". I'd much rather have a nice 20 footer than a truck that I had years into restoring and was hesitant to use. I posted a pic of mine yesterday and it's definitely a 20 footer. Most folks have...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    It has new marker lenses. I used the new-fangled LMC "clear-out" style on this '87. I like them alright but will not use any on a '73-80 model. HS

    Still no wash & cleaning but I did get the chrome wheels switched over to my Mickey Thompson”s. I’m pleased with the ride & look already.
