    What have you done to your square lately??

    A bit more detailing under the hood and installed new plug wires on the Blazer. Replaced the plugs a week or so ago when I had the inner fenders out.

    Air Cleaner Stud

    Threaded rod works, but I picked this up at O'Reilly's because I also wanted that over-sized stamped wing nut.

    @Craig Nedrow what booklet are you referring to for lift points? My factory service manuals show the lift points for my vehicles but just have to do what seems right for others.

    When your truck is on the lift and hurricane remnants knock out the power you're at the mercy of the power company as to when you lower it back down.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Removed the inner fenders for cleanup and detailing. Also provides access to rust-prone areas. Didn’t find rust but applied some POR15 in spots. Also replaced spark plugs as they were super easy to get to with inner fenders off. Not real happy with the inner fender appearance even after sand...

    I believe that’s the one I bought in 2016. Use it all the time (Blazer is up on it now) and have never had any problems.

    Resistor question

    Yes, vintage variable trailer brake resistor. Don’t need it but too cool to not restore and reinstall. Proudly made in Michigan USA.

    Resistor question

    @bucket based on your lead I did a search for Vintage GMC electric brake resistor. BINGO! Mine is from a different manufacturer and not marked so obviously. Not needed but looks cool, like something from Dr. Frankenstein’s laboratory. Might detail it and keep.

    You’re definitely right about making your life easier. I installed my 2-post lift in 2016 and it’s the best tool I ever bought. Mine is sized for lifting our diesel dually trucks, a Ram 3500 and Ford F-350. It’s also extra high as I’m 6’4”. One thing to make you aware of is it can be a tight...

    Resistor question

    Getting ready to remove and paint the LH side inner fender on my 1975 Blazer and can’t determine what this large resistor is for. Truck came from factory with air, auto and 350 engine. Figure someone here knows for sure!

    Any cb’s that would fit in the radio slot?

    Can’t see it in the pic but the handset has a “push to talk” button on it that regular phones didn’t have.

    Any cb’s that would fit in the radio slot?

    CB radios bring back a lot of memories. My dad had this cool rig in his Dodge truck. We crossed the country more than once between VA and Cal. in that truck, yackin with the truckers on the CB. The handset made it seem like you had a phone in your truck, but who ever heard of such nonsense as a...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Removed, disassembled and refinished the center console. Never paid much attention to it and was surprised to learn that the lid, cup holder and about half the body is cast metal and has some heft to it. The very bottom piece that bolts to the floor brackets is fiberglass.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Went ahead and dyed the door pockets; figured they wouldn’t be used much at all so color may hold up. Also installed my new steering wheel. Never liked the rubber and aluminum one much. Love the new one! Before: After:

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Removed both door panels, lubed the window regulators and dyed the panels and arm rests. Need to do something about the the map pockets. I suspect dyeing won't work on something so flexible so may get wife to make new ones in the correct ( or more correct ) color. Saw a great How To thread here...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    It's important to not overtighten the pan bolts too, regardless of the gasket. Steel pans will warp, aluminum pans can crack. I use a torque wrench to make sure they're all tightened evenly to the specified torque.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Have h Great gaskets. Every day I look at the floor under my two trucks and every day the floor is dry. Plus you can reuse them if you need to drop the pan for something.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    @BRetty I bought the shaft from The Steering Store from their eBay store. It does replace the rag joint with a universal joint. It is the Borgeson 000932 which says its for 73-76 Chevy or GMC trucks.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Replaced my old steering shaft on the Blazer with a Borgeson shaft with universal joints and also replaced the lower bearing on the steering column. When I removed the old bearing I thought it came out too easy and then saw the plastic retainer was broken. Job was pretty straightforward and...

    Have used Dorman regulators from O’Reilly for my Squares, Fords and parents Pontiac and all have been great.

    What is this please!

    One outlet was plugged so not sure what the purpose was with one inlet and one outlet.

    What is this please!

    I took it off today and saw one word on it: Moroso. So googled Moroso and found it. Then tossed it.

    What is this please!

    Can somebody tell me what this part is? It’s bolted to the inner fender on the passenger side on my 75 Blazer, which was originally a 350 engine. I looked thru the factory service manuals for the heating system but just don’t see it!
