    What have you done to your square lately??

    Yup... I just wish it wasn't so damn humid down here. I was good with the first coat for the most part, but the second coat decided to pop more as the day got more humid, so it isn't completely smooth, but good enough for a solid coat. When I eventually take the front clip off, I'll take care...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Rolled and brushed... Yup... She was basically all original when I picked it up. That's one heavy duty frame for a half ton too. Under each of the spring hangers there's bracket that goes from the underside of the frame to the hanger. Never saw that before this one.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Finally got all the scale, dirt, and grime off the frame and por15'ed the frame from the firewall back... :jawdrop: She's looking perttier... Can't wait to get the cab back down on the frame and the exhaust on 'er. Then it's time to get the bed back together. :driver:

    Hydroboost/steering help

    How do the hoses look? I'm not sure with the PS/Hydroboost lines, but I know brake lines can fail internally and keep fluid from moving around.

    My FREE 350 Motor Survived Thankfully !!!

    Damn.... That shit sucks monkey balls. Really sad there are people like that out there and that there are enough of them that I'm sure we all know at least a couple.

    My FREE 350 Motor Survived Thankfully !!!

    Yeah, that sucks... I wish I had been around about that time. I could've used pieces off that pickup's front clip. I still need an inner fender... Outer too if I can find an OEM piece. Have an aftermarket one laying around, but would rather go OEM if I had the choice.

    Glad that engine made it through... A bit sad to see that the squares had to go across the scales though.

    Duel Tank Switch

    Hmmm, you learn something new every day... I knew the ones for the older ones were the single wire solenoid type, didn't know they had switched temporarily in the 80's to a motorized version. Thanks chengny!

    Duel Tank Switch

    Momentary switches won't work for a dual tank system... The auxiliary side of the tank selection solenoid needs a constant voltage against it to keep it switched. Otherwise, it'll flip right back to the primary side.

    Oil pressure fluctuating

    They did... My '73 still has the mechanical in it... Copper tube runs through the firewall to the gauge.

    starter question

    Nothing off the top of my head... If nothing else you could take both starters to the parts house and see if they can find something that will work. Just tell 'em you need a starter with the nose shaped like the first one and the bolt pattern from the other.

    Fresh big block with low oil pressure at idle.

    Okay, I was thinking of things the way they are on my Mark IV... The sending unit is right above the oil filter boss and is pretty much the fist thing the oil hits before going through the block. Where exactly is the sending unit on the later versions? Pic?

    About to stab this motor

    Very nice... Makes me want to get my truck back together so I can start 'er up again... :waytogo:

    Fresh big block with low oil pressure at idle.

    Just read your last paragraph too... When the oil warms up it becomes thinner... At a cold idle my gauge reads pretty high, but after she warms up the gauge reads closer to 30psi... It's normal and I'm guessing that the gauge on your truck is just far enough out of wack that it reads low...

    Fresh big block with low oil pressure at idle.

    If you were measuring oil pressure from the front top side of the engine then the spigot analogy would work, but since the gauge is set up right close to the pump you're actually measuring the oil pressure as it leaves the pump, not throughout the system. Thinking through it I would presume a...

    Dang truck.. one thing leads to another..

    It took a bit of hunting, but when I was installing the correct parts for my dual tank system, I found that valve on ebay. Don't think I found it anywhere else though...

    Fresh big block with low oil pressure at idle.

    No such thing unless you blew it apart... Even then it may or may not have an effect on oil pressure, but you'd definitely tell that the engine wasn't running right. I'd verify the gauge first before diving into the engine...

    TH400 Kick down Switch Problem

    Yup, that's correct... The switch only makes contact at the very end of the throw of the pedal, not necessarily of the switch, hence the adjustment. :waytogo: Thanks btw to PawPaw for making the other thread a sticky! :)

    2 Piece Driveshaft Center Bearing

    I was going to, but didn't... Still have the bearing laying around in a box somewhere. :lol: I'd like to know how someone else has done it though. :)

    Upper door hinge removal...help

    I looked at my '73 last night and the grommet for the courtesy light switch wires is the same to get to that bolt. I'm guessing they figured why drill two holes when they could use one. Later on they got dumb and drilled another hole. :crazy:
