    Broken shift tube?

    I think the spot welds would work, but I would think finding some sort of shearable plastic rivets similar to the original would be safer - just in case. Maybe the tube from a Bic pen would be the right size, or perhaps the round plastic hanger model parts are attached to would work and you...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Only 10 months since the last time, but, wash and wax day. Still need to wash the grille, the wheels, and the bumpers but all the main sheet metal is waxed. I worked for 9 months at a place that had a caliche parking lot so washing would be a waste of time as that white dust gets...

    Keeping it in the family. My grandfather bought this 78 GMC brand new. After his death it sat for 18 years. I finally got ahold of it 2yrs ago, and ha

    Do I have this pin in the right location steering colum?

    Did you pull the tilt spring out? I think that is the guide for the tilt spring. Item 32 in the pic.

    TCC Switch Wiring TH350C

    Can anyone tell me if the 2 green wires go in the front and the blue with black stripe goes in the back of the TCC vacuum switch plug? Discovered tonight these were loose - I suspect this is correct but do not know. Loose means like hanging out of the back of the connector... Pic taken from...

    Asymmetrical braking

    FYI- Prop valve may have helped the issue but not completely solved it on Goldie. The test patch I use is a piece of rough concrete heading South on the 59 feeder street at West Airport going for the uturn lane that leads to the North 59 feeder and entrance ramp. It is almost always wet and...

    EGR Solenoid California Emission 1985 305

    Goldie has a spacer that makes her take 2 gaskets. My guess is that it is OE.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    After 6 years, decided to cheat, use the power of the internet, and set the damn clock on the CD player in the truck. I figured I would have discovered the trick before on my own , but nope. It's the little things... :Big Laugh:

    Asymmetrical braking

    Sounds similar to Goldie where I assume the fronts (plural) are locking before the rears although I know the front DS is as I hear it with the window down. I suspect the prop valve and have her in the shop to have that done. Will advise on the outcome. Hopefully the Chinesium prop valve works...

    Ignition cylinder and steering lock question

    Here is the pin and spring- the spring is the one on the left held in by the bolt. HTH !

    Ignition cylinder and steering lock question

    One of the 1st steps in disassembly after removing the steering wheel is removing the lock plate. The plate is necessary in the column, but the spring that activates the lock pin could be disconnected or removed to achieve your desired results. You can see the pin around 11 o'clock in the...

    Instrument Cluster Installation

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Decided tonight was a good night to clean and adjust rear brakes . 2 Russian Apples added to the decision making process. "Its 7:30 and it's dark fock it. Meh - do it now. " So, I dood it now .:anitoof: No pics, but the rusted drums are cleaning up nicely.

    Steering Column Interchange

    88 - 91 R & V would work, but the next gen column ( now known as the OBS, or Old Body Style ) would not to the best of my knowledge due to the toe pan mount and other mounting points. Depending on if they are still the Saginaw style columns - really not sure on that - you might be able to put...

    83 Cruise Control Switch

    Dayum. I was all excited thinking that would look like my '80 with only a simple push button on the end. No dice. :( Free bump, though ! :)

    CHONGO IS DOWN!

    Might just fix the door and patch the cab holes then leave the bed as a "story time starter". "Did I ever tell you fellows about my 79 doing a 100 foot jump ? Just like then, it starts with HOLDMY BEER AND WATCH THIS !".:)

    73-80 Hood Trim

    Goldie (1980 Suburban Sierra Classic) had one. No longer as it broke on one end when they took it off for paint. I can't remember if the 77 had it or not . Chromed plastic, I believe, which is why they break.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Had to reach behind the dash to wiggle the bulb holder for the 1st time since March. :( Dammit- hope this is a weather fluke and not a sign that more work is needed.
