Show me your 8 lug wheels!
Yes. The hub may be a little snug, but they bolt right up and do not interfere with the suspension or calipers. Since they are a 9/16" thread on the Squares, I had to buy lugnuts off Ebay that are 9/16" w/14mm exterior threaded for the caps to screw onto. It was only like $28 for the 32 lugnuts...- mtbadbob

Installs to do before windshield?
I tore my dash apart, cleaned the duct work, rewired a few things, rebuilt/replaced the radio cutout, installed new dash speakers, refurbished cluster, & installed a new pad with the windshield in. It was all easily done. -
Hanging I-Beam from ceiling joists
Well, I think you're pushing the span of 16" for anything real heavy. Do you have any ties to the rafters from the CJ's?? If you had a couple running from rafter to cj, I think that'd be better. I don't believe you are in any danger of them cracking, of course depending on the grade, but gravity... -

Looking for hood stripes
I remember my buddy & I test driving a Chevy Sport, like '78 or '79. Took it to the carwash to rinse it off, blew one of the stripes right off the hood, picked it up off the ground, re-stuck it to the hood while it was wet, promptly returned the truck to the dealership and left quickly!- mtbadbob

Help with Windshield Wiper Blades
The problem with all this plastic sh*t is that when it's cold, it's super brittle. I'm constantly changing blades on my truck & my '84 BRAT because if you bump them trying to scrape the ice off the windshield, they break.- mtbadbob

Carburetor on my 82' C20
Ask the guy who rebuilt it, or call a reputable rebuild shop & ask what the difference it. It could be that one came from a 305 engine, or it could be that one is for an auto, one for a standard, also one might have slightly larger mains. I would guess that if it went on your truck & all the...- mtbadbob

Please look over my emissions “delete”
I'd also unhook the cruise control rod, just to make sure it's not opening the throttle, as @Ricko1966 was suggesting.- mtbadbob

Please look over my emissions “delete”
Ok, it just seems to me like there is either something inside the carb holding the throttle plate open, or the cable isn't allowing it to return to the idle position. It shouldn't be running that high of rpms without the throttle being open somehow. Good luck!- mtbadbob
