    Finally got a squarebody...for my daughter

    sweet! just my humble opinion; rear disc could be the last thing on your 'to do' list. those drums will be more than fine, especially with an unloaded LONG bed. :)

    Manual spring starter

    not used/seen one on a 'truck'. had one on a lawn mower when i was a kid. instead of a recoiling rope pull, you wound a lever around and around where the rope would have been. when the mechanism 'clicked' you had it wound all the way like a watch. then you pressed the release catch and the...

    Speedometer inaccurate and bounces

    i'd check the coil spring/clock spring it acts as a dampener. most likely it is detached or deformed. good luck

    Where does the engine smoothness come from?

    :) this subject came up awhile back for me. i took my father in law for a ride in the 85 k20 super double xtra heavy duty. forest road sightseeing. he remarked several times how 'smooth' it ran. now, it RIDES nice and rough but that 350 just hums along. (even with that poor ol' quadrajet...

    CB Radio Antenna Recommendations?

    my experience was the opposite :) only the people that lived in town where the population density afforded a return on the investment of the cable company got it. i was the antenna rotor for many years wishing those beautiful coax cables would be strung out to us one day. a 7' c-band dish...

    Parking Brake Light

    it should be on the parking brake lever/pedal mount. at the top. yes, the prop valve up front will illuminate the brake light constantly if it fails. good luck

    Fuel pump working but no gas to the carburetor maybe?

    is the fuel pump still mechanical or was it removed and an electric pump installed? sounds like you checked it correctly though by using it to pump into a catch vessel. filters are 'inline' by definition :) so is your filter in question a filter in the middle of a fuel hose or are we talking...

    Hooking up the electric choke

    just put +12v from anywhere you want on it. (i'd use switched so it doesn't drain the battery of course) good luck

    How do I use the tank selector on 1973 Camper Special

    New brake shoe is coming off of anchor pin

    you need to spin the star after you put the drum on. there is a lot of gap to fill after the drum goes on. good luck!

    how to identify the gear ratio on my truck

    the axle tube stamp will tell you pretty quickly. just get a wire brush and clean up the passenger side tube to find the stamped code.

    K20 c6p rear axle questions

    yes, my 85 k20 super double xtra heavy duty is C6P as well nice 13" drums but a semi-floater. docs from the maker says 3/4 trucks got semi regardless of options and 1 tons got the sticky-outy full floater. (in the year range we're talking about) regardless of what i think, it has what it has...

    K20 c6p rear axle questions

    sounds right! they definitely put the ff in the 3/4 in the earlier trucks. it'll be sweet regardless (the only thing i would get hung up on is the switch in parking/e-brake backing plates that changed from earlier to later trucks)

    New motor... from 250 to 350

    nothing wrong with a good 350 transplant but the way you describe your truck, i'd leave the six in it. i'd spend my project money on the other things you listed. a locker in the rear of a 2wd might help out in a slick spot. cosmetics are always nice. i drove an f100 without assisted brakes so...
