What have you done to your square lately??
Finished up on the garage reorganizing (for the moment) and checked a couple spark plugs, look pretty good after the new valve seals. Gonna go for a cruise this afternoon. -
What have you done to your square lately??
Maybe it had too many…wobble pops. I’ll show myself out. Love your truck, it’s perfect. -
What have you done to your square lately??
Good info. @JamesSam I’ll bow out now, since the TBI system is nothing I’m familiar with. The only other thing I can think of is checking fuel pressure. Sounds like @Ajax19 has a good handle on it. -
What have you done to your square lately??
Ok, good to know. Is there any change to how it idles as opposed to before? Probably good to go back to basics. Check for vacuum leaks, check timing, etc. Can you visualize your accelerator pump shot with the air cleaner off? I can’t remember what carb you have on there. -
Old man constantly asked to drop his truck.Any stock height C10s left in the world??
As someone who likes them all flavors, this is one that makes me cringe. It’s the orange juice and toothpaste of squarebodies.- ChuckN

I’d check your fuel filter. Easy and quick to do. -
What new tools have you got lately?
I’ve had a large set that my dad got for me from Craftsman about 25 years ago. Maybe less, maybe more, but they’ve always been helpful in a “quick scenario “ but I prefer a regular set if I really want to pinch onto something with my hand strength. Since it auto-grabs a “notch “, sometimes it’s... -
73-80 vs. 81-87 side window glass
Thanks guys, good to know. Tomorrow will be somewhat sunny so I’ll see if I can see how far off it is. I don’t mind if it’s a little different- but then again I could see if I could get a matching one for the other side from the guy, gets seals at the same time, and have matching thicker glass... -
What new tools have you got lately?
Started on the second bin rack yesterday. It’s a helluva chore with only being able to bend one leg. Then I got the framing screwed together and realized I mismeasured- at that point my one good leg was cooked from taking all the weight so I gave up and put up the feet for some rest. Feel like... -
73-80 vs. 81-87 side window glass
Cool, thanks. In your experience, is the blue hue of the earlier glass darker than the later stuff? -
73-80 vs. 81-87 side window glass
@Redfish Tis the way it goes sometimes bud! Your truck is too nice for me to think you don’t know what you’re doing so we’ll call it faulty equipment. :cool: -
73-80 vs. 81-87 side window glass
Quick question- I did a search and didn’t find anything but know it’s been mentioned- my truck is an ‘81, a guy gave me a passenger side window but it appears thicker. Also, the blue of the Soft-ray looks a little darker but hard to tell exactly on the garage. I did see guys like @Redfish had... -
Custom fabric inlays on dash side panels- how to attach fabric?
Thanks! Did they actually have it in stock? Or how long did you wait? Seems like in the past they’ve had lots of issues delivering items in a timely manner. -
Custom fabric inlays on dash side panels- how to attach fabric?
That’s actually a really good idea. :waytogo: -
Custom fabric inlays on dash side panels- how to attach fabric?
That is cool…where did you get the design from? Is it fabric or did you have it printed somehow? -
Custom fabric inlays on dash side panels- how to attach fabric?
Thinking about doing something fun for the interior. TMI dashes (as nice as they look are out of my price range). They do one with blue plaid. So I got to thinking, the trim strip that goes by the vents, and the trim strips on the door panels….would there be a way to attach some fabric of my... -

Searching for My Dad's 1979 Chevy Suburban
Looking on Facebook Marketplace in the south or southwest would be your best bet these days. You can also check out Bring A Trailer (auction website). Craigslist these days in my experience is mostly dead. On Facebook you can join the group “Squarebody Syndicate Classifieds”- they tend toward...- ChuckN

Searching for My Dad's 1979 Chevy Suburban
Yeah, not surprised by that. But, I just have a feeling that if you got to the right person in the MVC, you could at least find out what city/town it was last located in- was she staunch in not giving any info at all? I feel like that if you played the sympathy card with the history, you might...- ChuckN

Need help identifying 12v wire for electric choke
Shouldn’t there already be a wire that comes from the oil pressure sending unit? Unless it’s gone for some reason. I only know because when I got my truck, the wiring was a disaster. Apparently the choke gets power after oil pressure is sensed, then receives power.- ChuckN

Please Help I'm Stuck!
Hey Keith- Sorry for the question that may be obvious to some, but did all the trucks use the same wiring harness? As in, if a guy got all the hardware (cruise box, stalk, Speedo cables etc) is the wiring already on the truck? Thanks in advance. Chad- ChuckN
