Why can’t I post wheels for sale?
Long haul. Yeah, if you bring it I can give it a decent home. I can strap it to my station wagon's roof rack and it can be a conversation starter too, lol. -
What have you done to your square lately??
Lol, I'd just drive it until the rods suddenly started to hammer and it lost all it's horse torques, then pull off the side of the road and dump in 6 more quarts. It would fire right up, clatter for a second, then go right back to running like a sewing machine. I kept a case or two of oil in... -
Why can’t I post wheels for sale?
You know, anything that you reliably drive every day is reliable enough to drive across the country, imho. Your trusty old S10 could do Power Tour. -

Actually yes, I will be on Power Tour! -
What have you done to your square lately??
I once had a '79 K5 with the 250 under the hood. One day on the interstate, I decided to see how fast it would go. Once it got upwards of 80 mph or so, it started puffing smoke into the interior, through the rust holes in the floor. From that day on, the rear main seal leaked profusely. It ended... -
Rear glass sash rubber
I feel like my post went unnoticed, lol. Urethane kills two birds with one stone. Not only does it hold the window to the sash permanently, but it also helps eliminate the reason that the sash rusted to begin with. Yeah, RTV may work ok, but I wouldn't expect it to last as long as I plan on...- bucket

Why can’t I post wheels for sale?
Nah, it's alright. The distance makes it not worthwhile, but you may have someone local that would want it. I've got a very small collection of original spares that I find to be very cool anymore. I've got a couple Tiger Paws too. -
New to me, 2004 Avalanche
Damn, I came in here with hopes of a 2500! But really, any Avalanche is cool. I certainly wouldn't turn one down.- bucket

1977-78 door trim accent piece - Western Scroll
I've only ever seen one other Burb with the Mystic interior. It was also the red secondary color. It's sitting in a private junkyard along Iowa 92, between Oskaloosa and Osceola. -

I'm betting original. The date code pre-'00 did not include the decade. The 29th week of '89 is likely. -
87 TBI 350
I installed long tubes on mine, with the sensor in the collector. I ran it like that for a couple years. Then I switched to a heated sensor. The only change was it went into closed loop a little faster. That was it. No change in driveability. No change in power. No change in mpg.- bucket

305 tbi heads on a 350 tbi?
When on a super tight budget I'm normally all for a set of ported 305 heads on a 350... but that's with a lazy, low compression 70's or early 80's 350. With a TBI 350, I wouldn't do it. They aren't a lazy engine at all and I don't think there would be any gains on the low end.- bucket

Why can’t I post wheels for sale?
What size, make and model was the original spare? Did you save it? There's wackadoos out there (such as myself) that like to save those things. -
Anybody buy from OBStrucksparts.org?
There's a bunch of used parts on there for sale too. The new interior stuff and description says 100% scam. But some other stuff to me just says it's some guy trying to operate a business with a terrible website. -
1977-78 door trim accent piece - Western Scroll
That's a rare interior color right there, for a Suburban. It's not too awful hard to find the two toned "mystic" interiors in a pickup, it's a little less common in a K5, but downright scarce in a Suburban. -

Towing with an old truck
Yes, you must be sure that everything is in good serviceable condition and up to the task. As for the terrain, I still don't see the need for weight distribution with an appropriate truck. The long and heavy loads that I mentioned earlier with the modern work trucks isn't just flatlander Ohio...- bucket

1988 Camaro
I could just be remembering wrong. I haven't worked on any of those early ones in probably 15 years. It was definitely a '93 though. I was there with my dad when he bought it. It had 6 miles on it when we left Dennis Pontiac in Columbus. Damn... that was 32 years ago. I still remember it like...- bucket

Why can’t I post wheels for sale?
Yes, I understand completely. That's why I said to go ahead and post pictures of the wheels. Figured it would help get the posts up. The whole reason the 50 post thing came along was to prevent scammers from joining and "selling" items that they had no intentions of actually sending. It... -
Towing with an old truck
Maybe so? If it goes well enough, stops safe enough and doesn't take much effort to keep it between the ditches, then I'm comfortable. I can definitely be uncomfortable though. It's happened several times with off-brand drive tires.- bucket

1988 Camaro
The car ran like a scalded rabbit when the engine was cool and was still fun enough when fully warmed up. It ran two belts. When the car was about 10 years old, I replaced the coupler in the supercharger snout and replaced the stinky oil.- bucket

Towing with an old truck
I guess I just don't understand then. I've pulled the same loads I described earlier with dually trucks and also C4500's. It's not much different. I've pulled upwards of 14k on single tandems with single wheel squarebodies and have been perfectly comfortable. Some of those loads have had a...- bucket
