What have you done to your square lately??
Yup... I haven't been able to get to the ball joints and bushings yet, but just refreshing the steering linkages and all made the truck a whole lot more enjoyable to drive. -

What have you done to your square lately??

Any Father/Son trucks out there?
Wow... A lot of great stories in here. I haven't had that experience even though I wanted to do something like that with my dad when I had my '77 in highschool. He wasn't into it and I had to sell it for tuition. So, when my boss offered me his dad's '73 I jumped on it... Kinda funny though...- SlickGTP

Progress on the bed tear down... Those sides can be stubborn coming off... -
What have you done to your square lately??
Started tearing the old bed apart in anticipation of getting a new to me bed... Hella lot of bolts holding this thing together. One side almost completely off... Tomorrow is the other side and the front panel. -
Mushy Brake Problem
Either the master cylinder is going out or there's still more air in the system would be my first two guesses... Took me forever to bleed the brakes when I redid most if not all the hydraulics. -

Slick's Junkyard Thread...
You're close by JKnight aren't you? You both should drive out one day and join in the hunt. John and I saw quite a bit out there that would've been fun to pick up, just didn't have the money and it started pourin cats and dogs on us. -

Yup! I've only seen two stick shift trucks in the yard so far and they were both SM465... -
Turbo 400 Build - Mega Carnage to Better than New.
Hey JKnight I finally got under the dash and took a few photos of the th400 kickdown harness. It's going to be a little different than later models, but mostly just wire color I think. All it is, is two wires taped together... The Brwn/Wht wire goes to a fused accessory port on the block...- SlickGTP

Slick's Junkyard Thread...
That's going to be a really rare find in a junk yard and I'd be tempted as all hell to snag it for myself, but I'll let you know if I ever do come across one. -

Sounds like you want to take a road trip down here... :lol: -
Slick's Junkyard Thread...
There were two squares with sticks last weekend, just don't know if they were hydraulic clutch set-ups or not... Hopefully they're still there when I go back next. Might be a couple of weeks from now though. -
Slick's Junkyard Thread...
Hey Guys! I've been making it to the yard more often lately and thought I'd get a thread going if anyone needs me to look out for parts while I'm out there and how much they're willing to spend on said parts. Not sure how often I'll be out there, but last time I was there I saw quite a few... -

Thanks guys!!! This gives me some ideas for when I get around to fixing mine up... -
Q-Jet question M4ME
I've found this site to be very helpful. http://quadrajetparts.com/?osCsid=a8bf120cc4ca96abcf05c8223920828a ..and this book is great. I'm using it to calibrate the Quadrajet on the truck. How to Rebuild and Modify Rochester Quadrajet Carburetors- SlickGTP

Fusebox Swap
Has anyone ever swapped the newer stock blade style fuse box into an older truck with the glass tube style fuse box. Just curious as to how much trouble it'd be and if it's even worth it. I know I might be nuts, but it's a hell of a lot cheaper to pull a fuse box out of a junkyard truck...- SlickGTP

Turbo 400 Build - Mega Carnage to Better than New.
Yeah, I was wondering if it got hot in the case or if that was a manufacturing side-effect. The Reaction Carrier won't spin at all which locked the first set of planetaries in place. I'll have to give it a bit of persuasion this evening and see if I can get the two apart.- SlickGTP

Turbo 400 Build - Mega Carnage to Better than New.
Cool... As it's really just a spare part at this point I won't worry about it too much. It does seem like it's seized on the output carrier though. The two parts don't want to come apart very easily.- SlickGTP

Turbo 400 Build - Mega Carnage to Better than New.
Hey HR, How do you know when a reaction carrier is toast? Here's the one I pulled out of the spare TH-400. The ripples might come off with a bit of work with an emery cloth, but not sure if it's worth the effort. Also, is the output carrier supposed to be colored like that? Thanks!- SlickGTP

TH-400 Speedo Housing
Hey HR! Found this when I tore into that TH-400 I was talking about in the other thread. Any knowledge on how to take it apart? I'd like to repair the wire on it unless it's fairly worthless. I've never seen one like it before though.- SlickGTP

Dual Tank Hoses
I recently put mine together and remember there being one 3/8"(primary) and one 1/4"(return hose, also if I remember correctly). The vapor hose was 5/16" if I remember correctly and each tank T's into one line that goes up to the front, but I'd have to climb back under the truck to be certain...- SlickGTP

Turbo 400 Build - Mega Carnage to Better than New.
What's your timeframe for this? I need to hit up the yard sometime in the near future to get some electric lock and window harnesses for my doors and I can walk out with that harness intertwined with the stuff I need for nothing extra. What's two wires extra in the mix of two other...- SlickGTP
