    What have you done to your square lately??

    Today was steering column day. Well, the latest in a couple steering column days, but I made tangible progress. Always helpful stink bugs on the job. Not too bad, most of the chrome is intact on the balls. Cleaned with wd40 then washed out with the alcohol brake cleaner. Then, some 10w40...

    RPM sticking sometimes.

    Cable for throttle actuation? A wear bind developing?

    C20 - Trailering vs. Camper Special

    Lol, maybe. Its dark and I will go look tomorrow. The exhaust is a goofy cannibalism affair with weirdness to it. Only a picture can do that statement justice. You'll understand.

    C20 - Trailering vs. Camper Special

    Here's a dim view of what Z83 looks like in real life. I can't clear the bed for a better shot today but it gives you an idea. The holes in the sheet metal look kinda hinky, like it was done at the dealer level perhaps, because I would expect better craftsmanship from the plant in CA. You can...

    Replace seals on power steering gear box on truck or bench?

    Me too and I have the seals waiting in the wings. I remember doing the pitman arm shaft seal once by removing the arm and seal clip, then started engine and ran steering wheel around to the stop, bumping old seal and a bit of fluid too. Won't work on input shaft seal, so out this box comes to...

    Whatcha do with that...?

    Anyone need an OE am/fm 8 track from 1979? I know, odds are extremely low, but not zero.

    C20 - Trailering vs. Camper Special

    What did you pay for a square

    Maybe I should bring mine back down and get paid the big bucks.... it's CA spec'd. But it's only a C... Naw, still have truck stuff to do with it yet. Still all in under 2100 in roller running only condition here. It only goes up from there ;)

    Whatcha do with that...?

    I'm keeping anything you can't get with a simple phone call to the local parts house. For example, any of the emissions parts like A.I.R. injection plumbing, it's exhaust manifolds, original ac parts and so on. Anything that ends up getting upgraded will more likely be saved in a box somewhere...

    Passenger side axle stuck

    Trust but verify isn't just a Reaganism. It's reality in a world now, where all those that gave a $#it and had personal pride in the quality of their work as well as support from their "superiors" was stripped out of the workforce through covid attrition/early retirement, as well as crap...

    Original Factory Seams Pics

    This area is one I'm interested in heavily. It shouldn't be rocket science Due to discovery of this... Ì wonder if it's a seam or just a fatigue failure from someone using something between the cab and a camper, or just butts on the roof.

    Tripod mirrors on lowered trucks?

    That's how I'm going to do it. I want my truck to be a truck, with a bit of racecar thrown in for good measure. Probably more because I just don't g.a.s. what others think of my ride(s).

    What could this random tube attached to the exhaust be?

    On the stock air cleaner housing there is a diverter valve that has some of that metallic flex tubing attached that goes onto that piece of pipe. When it's cold, vacuum is applied to position that valve, allowing heated air to go into the carb and when operating temp is reached, that valve will...

    What could this random tube attached to the exhaust be?

    I find it ingenious. I have to fab up something similar when the headers go on. Next spring...

    Unplug the two wire connection on the alternator with everything else as normal and see if the draw goes away.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Got tired of catching my clothes on the OE trim clips so I pulled all those off today. Brought the potato out for another look, it's none too happy about any of that. Looks like summer got away without much forward progress. Damn.

    2 post shop lift

    K-Mart had those twin post in ground lifts. I hated that lift for all the reasons. Last time I saw one used, the techs left a jeep up on it without any locks. Rear cylinder leaked down overnight and the jeep was hanging off its bumper at a 75° angle, fluids and fuel everywhere. Glad it wasn't my...
