    New to Square body.. electrical nightmare...

    Mine was hacked during a diesel to gas conversion. I ended up going to a salvage yard and pulled a clean one from a similar truck. Plug and play.

    Hard brake pedal manual brakes.

    Do the front wheels turn? If the brakes are locked up, it's not u common for the flex lines running from the frame to the calipers to leak internally, between the layers of rubber. It results in the the line working like a check valve, allowing it to pressurize, but not release immediately...

    1977 chevy c20 hood latch problem

    I would try making the latch lock manually (by hand, not with the hood pin), to see if it will lock in the closed position. Could be as simple as the release handle partially pulled out. If it latches when empty, open the latch again and maybe try adjusting the lock pin up incrementally.

    Oil Pressure Question

    Mine has the same set up and it's all over the board. Anywhere from 5-50. Probably going to put in mechanical gauges myself. I would at least put a mechanical gauge on it temporarily at least to confirm if your factory one is working properly.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    No, I didn't put anything in and really don't plan to. The supply air is coming from inside the cab, so I don't see the point.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    No, I didn't take any pics, but I just cut a hole about 3" wide x5" tall, basically behind the fan housing at the resistor.

    Oil Pressure Question

    What are you using for a gauge, factory? If so, I would put a mechanical gauge on it to confirm that the readings are correct.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Fixed my heater. AC cab originally, but swapped in a regular heater box, both inner and outer. Could hear the fan running, but virtually no airflow. Finally determined that when I made my blockoff plate for the ac hole, I needed to cut a new hole in the firewall so the new box could breathe...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Worked on my door panels. Not great, but better than faded tan and dirty fabric.

    Windsheild seal for a 91, which is the best one to get and

    I just replaced mine. If you have the lock strip type, buy the installation tool. I tried using a plastic windshield stick. Took about 45 min to go maybe 18" . Bought the tool (linde 47000) and did the entire lock strip in about 10 minutes.

    Using old wiring harness?

    I had a butchered diesel harness in mine. Toggle switches on the dash for ignition, lots of splices, etc. I swapped in an 84 factory gas harness. Went pretty well and I didn't see anything to be concerned with. I had to. Adapt the sender wires and repin the cluster plug, but so far it worked...

    Will 17 inch Dodge steel 8 lug rims work on an 85 3/4 ton?

    Bolt pattern should be the same, but all of the 17" Dodge runs i have seen have way too much offset . They sit way inboard.

    Replaced Ignition switch....weird problem occurred after

    Sounds like the neutral safety switch needs to be adjusted. I believe it is mounted on the column near the ignition switch.

    4" or 6" lift for 3/4 ton??

    Keep in mind that with a 6" , you will have more mods to do over a 4" , like lengthening driveshafts, brake lines,steering, etc.

    Factory style tach conversion kit

    Haven't worried about it yet. Mine was pulled from a c50 and untested, not a new one from brothers. Been reassembling the truck and will decide how I want to proceed later.

    6.2 diesel to gas engine.

    Mine has the conversion before my son bought it. Hope you do a cleaner job. They had pulled the ignition switch off the column, then drilled two toggle switches in the dash for ignition on and starter engage. The harness was butchered. I swapped in a factory harness.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Had it parked in a friend's shop so I could paint the rest of the front end metal. Drove it home.
