    78 Surburban Revival

    Welcome from Houston- and another Sub owner- part II ! And, I agree - hard to find the older ones. :(

    Lotsa nice squares on CL out here right now!

    I like green, so the color is not an issue. And I know @78C10BigTen will LOVE the OE mirrors. :dogpile:

    Hi My First one

    Welcome from Texas ! Looks like the truck has made quite a trek!

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Got to admit it still seems funny to hear CEL and squarebody in the same sentence. But, my 91 had OBD1 - and a light. Goldie runs OBDnaught.:anitoof:

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Could not get the cruise to engage today, so I broke out the 82 shop manual I have. Mine is an 80 but for most of the stuff the 82 is close. Also dug out the test light and just like the book says, with the test terminal grounded and the probe in the dark blue engage prong of the connector to...

    Shift Indicator

    If it is broken, it looks barely broken. Mine by comparison. Don-Ts idea makes sense. Or, I wonder if you could glue a flat washer on top of the piece circled in red. :think:

    For the Handicapped

    Just a quick thought: A small step stool or wooden box with a piece of rope tied to it. Step up in the truck, grab the rope, pull the box/stool in, and close the door.

    Wheel not centered in. . .

    Like the pictures/your rig. Sorry to hear about the other issues.

    Bvllsh!t on craigslist.

    Please leave the unmarked bills in a briefcase at the corner of Smith & Elm. No cops - I will know if you are being followed. :dogpile: Da Fock is Dat guy on ?:eek:

    Mysterious wire under the dash

    Looks like the cruise wires to me, but... No idea why they are not attached to the cruise stalk...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Fired her up yesterday and did some basic fluid checks. Had a slight leak from the upper radiator hose so I tightened that clamp. She served me well during the freeze last week so a little PM was a fair return. :)

    LF turn signal wont shut off

    Won't turn off automatically as you turn, or is on all the time? My guess is the turn signal switch broke. You can kind of see how it works here - the 3rd image down on the left shows one upside down. ( Car Parts .com )The black piece side is down when installed and part of the hazard portion...

    1980 Roundeye GMC

    This is known as the squircle front end, BTW.:anitoof: OP - welcome from a Houston 80 owner !

    Thermostat 195?

    Motor Rad ? Failsafe 195 - made in Israel. Makes the heater work mo betta. Got it from Devanced Auto - failsafe as in it is supposed to fail open if it fails.

    Looks like I have to rebuild or replace my 350 in Houston area

    Sorry to hear that! Which side of town?

    305 SBC vs 6.2 Detroit: Which would you rather?

    It's early, and it's a rainy day so I am foggy and sleepy. :birgits_tiredcoffee Are you talking like a turbine engine? Or, electric?:shocked:

    305 SBC vs 6.2 Detroit: Which would you rather?

    I voted 6.2. I drove ( in the mid to late 80s) a mid 80s Blazer that a buddies Dad owned with a 6.2 and enjoyed the mileage, what seemed at the time as reasonable power, and smoking people at idle with neutral revs.:anitoof: Same guys Dad had a mid 80s K10 with a 305 that hauled ass, so maybe...

    Power Brake Booster

    I could never find an anodized one - disappointed that I had to go parts store black.:( Maybe someone here will know of a source. I did keep my old one JIC, and did have to modify the yellow plastic "rain boot" on my OE to fit the new. No boot = leaks into the interior thru the power booster...

    Shifter on steering column lose

    They mentioned that the upper portion of the column being removed is for illustration purposes, so no reason to panic.:)

    Where to purchase gauge (oil pressure)

    New OEM is probably only going to be found on EBay or at a swap meet and probably going to carry a hefty price tag for NOS stuff ( New Old Stock). Used is a good way to go - you can probably find members here selling clusters and parts. Or, for New aftermarket places such as LMC (Long Motor...

    74 k10 going 55 mph is at 3,500 rpm

    What size are your tires ? Going up in size will reduce the RPMs - and, of course, throw your speedo off. Here is an example- not sure if I remember the OE tire size correctly but they are only about 28 inches... :eek: https://www.tacomaworld.com/tirecalc?tires=235-75r15-33-12.5r15 This...

    1987 R10 Radiator Leak

    Price seems steep, but hopefully they built you a 4 core. I had my metal one re-done as well- OE end tanks on a 4 core as the original 3 row was too far gone. Plastic tanks and aluminum cores work great and are lighter but just not the same in my book. YMMV

    1988 IROC-Z

    I remember that ! :anitoof: I will buy some if I see it. I also remember New Coke ... :33:

    Source for horn part

    I think this may be it. Don't know why the search on the phone was harder than on the PC using the same search terms and engine ... :33: Meaning that I did one search on the PC to find this but had to do multiple tries on the phone to get the same result so I could copy and paste...
