    What have you done to your square lately??

    don't do it. With the 6 cylinder engine, small tires really help acceleration and with mine, the 3.08 gears work as intended. The bigger tires it had on it were very heavy and the truck slowed significantly .

    What new tools have you got lately?

    A flywheel holder. Not sure how much I want to use it.. And the factory manual. Everyone should have these. I buy em all on ebay for about $30.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Fix what is broke. It looks really nice as is. Adding foreign parts is never the way forward if you don't need to.

    Wiper washer upgrade and repairs

    So, I fixed my wipers and washers, twice! I now have two speeds (the switch was sticky and did not allow the second speed). Fixed that. And the washers would not stop running till the wipers were turned off. I tightened the spring on the washer rotating drum, seen right below the round plastic...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    I got rambunctious. I'm presently "On leave" from my classic repair shop waiting for surgery and kinda going buggy wandering around the house. So I brought Ralph in for motor mounts, that I have had sitting on the shelf since the clutch job. My OTC stinger engine support, that sits on both...

    LMC Parts

    Nothing is made in America any more. Lmc shipping is pricey for small orders. Napa is the same stuff too, with no shipping if you get at the store. Avoid cardone brake parts.

    Wiper washer upgrade and repairs

    I'm about to replace the single speed wiper motor/washer pump due to pump problems. Now the washers run whenever the wipers are on. I'm thinking I'm going to replace the motor, and maybe the switch too to upgrade to dual speed wipers. Can I just replace the switch in the dash, and the motor pump...

    Old truck Patina

    This 88 Suburban (big Red) was my truck back in the early 2000's I bought it in perfect garage kept condition from its original owner. I dragged that (painted) Airstream across America behind it. It had no patina when I bought it. But, after hailstorms in Ohio, and the third owner who had its...

    Old truck Patina

    In my humble opinion, with old trucks especially, its more important they run than look new. Mine runs and drives perfectly. Well, for an old truck..

    Green Gas Monkey Wrecked Truck being rebuilt.

    Old truck Patina

    Just as an idea, with our trucks being classics. Some are perfect, and others are not. For the "Nots", how about some examples of our trucks "Patina". Not necessarily rat rod made up patina (clear coat, oil jobs, etc.) but signs of life. I offer a few examples of my truck, Ralph. My favorite is...

    Opinions please on possible use for zinc oil additive

    Don't use an additive. Use High zinc oil in any flat tappet engine, so that should apply to all of our squares. I use Penn grade brand. Its black and white people.

    Bye Bye Optima

    I have the second Optima in my wife's honda. The first lasted 10 years. She wanted me to put the same battery in, and I did, but, I have my concerns it won't last. Will report failure when it does.

    Can I fix this by cutting out and only replacing outer?

    What I did not realize as the inside of the bedside is sold integral with the outside! Like I said. If you cannot fix a chevy square body, you should sell your tools.

    Somebody help a newbie!

    I’d do the compression test first! If it’s bad, save your money. You can look at the plugs too and get a good picture before buying any parts
