    What have you done to your square lately??

    You know they are strictly cosmetic...but they are well made, the chrome is decent and the hardware looks strong. On a 4wd they look appropriate somehow. I kept putting off buying them just in case the perfect winch and winch bumper appeared. That's what I really wanted but I also fear I...

    Bumper guards

    I just ordered a set from Brothers Truck/Holley. I am cautiously optimistic. I like the smooth, clean look of my plain chrome bumper but I also think they make a 4wd look a little more rugged. I was on the fence and made the mistake of asking my son what he thought. I showed him some pics...

    Oil Pressure Guage Mystery

    No it will not. That switch is a backup to the rest of the fuel pump circuit. The only way it can shut off power to the pump is if the primary circuit is compromised in some way. I initially thought exactly what you posted but the wiring diagrams and some very helpful folks on this forum...

    Bluetooth radios

    I have a Retrosound in mine. It took me a while to get the adjustments correct to make it sound right but I like it a lot. It looks period correct at first glance, when there is no power it really looks period correct because the digital readout isn't on. At car shows no one even notices that...

    Oil Pressure Guage Mystery

    The oil pressure SWITCH is not your problem with your fuel pump. If the fuel pump relay is bad that switch is a backup path for current to the fuel pump. Once the engine builds enough oil pressure to close the switch contacts you would get power to the fuel pump but that would only matter if...

    Oil Pressure Guage Mystery

    Well of course they should... but will they? I had some trouble getting one locally and then they didn't last so I decided to order from RockAuto. That solved my oil pressure gauge problems. Regarding the oil pressure SWITCH that is against the firewall; it is difficult but not impossible to...

    Voltage Drop

    Lots of great advice here, I agree with pretty much all of it so no sense repeating it. I will say that I didn't realize just how bad my original alternator was until after I replaced it. About where in Mississippi are you located? Do you take that truck to Cruisin the Coast?

    New wheels/tires - 73 K10 w/2” lift

    I actually am a little embarrassed about doing that but THE SAME question gets asked and a picture tells the right answer. I have been on forums where the regulars would literally roast any "noob" that dared to ask a question that had previously been answered. They would say, "Do A Search" and...

    New wheels/tires - 73 K10 w/2” lift

    @bbusse That will work just fine. Here is mine with a Skyjacker 2" softride and 33x12.50s on the factory rally wheels.

    Oil Pressure Guage Mystery

    @JamesSam I went through 3 brand new sending units before the oil pressure gauge in my '87 started working correctly. Once you get a decent one they work just fine. This one was bad and you can see it was still almost new when I changed it.

    New Member - level front ‘77 k-10

    @MrCaviar it is difficult to tell from your pics but it sort of looks like you already have some "lift" on that truck. Can you take some better pics of the truck? And perhaps a pic of your front leaf springs? Maybe a pic of where the rear leaf springs attach to the axle? My truck has 2 inch...

    For Sale

    Perhaps you should re-gain control of your marriage. I can help with this. Instead of, "Hey honey, want to go...?" Try, "Get your stuff packed, we are going..." For extra points you can use the word B**ch either at the front of the sentence or at the end. Using the "B" word correctly can add...

    @Zelph that truck doesn't have a gas tank! Unless he has a Blazer or installed a Blazer type gas tank.

    Pissing match

    Y'all do realize this is the internet right? This little corner of the World Wide Web is supposed to be dedicated to a discussion of an iconic, in fact a legendary generation of trucks. Everyone on this forum has a connection, has something in common with everyone else and usually we find that...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    So far today I have driven it to my favorite-ex-brother-in-law's so I could install a soft top on his roommate's Bronco. Last summer I installed the roll bar, I recently installed 3 point seat belts, and today we did the bikini top. I think it came out pretty nice.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    I pulled a 4 wheeler around behind mine. Then we shined it up and I took my roommates out to dinner.

    C20 for towing

    I think it depends on what you want/need and how much time/how many miles you actually tow. There is no denying the Cool Factor in a campground when someone pulls in with a well maintained older truck. Can a Square Body tow? Absolutely, that's what Trucks do! But if a person really works...
