    Leaking Metal Fuel Line??

    Not sure if it's been mentioned, but try inlinetube. Know they do a lot with brake lines and some fuel, trans etc. But yeah, check rubber hoses first and see if they're leaking and the fuel isn't travelling down the line and collecting there and subsequently dripping. You can always cut the...

    Reverse light options

    This is what I've purchased. Simple pull switch with a spring and normally open contact. Should be able to mount it just about anywhere underneath on the Saginaw 3 speed or the Daytona shifter assembly. Going to test the pull strength on it tonight and get a rough mockup done. Hell I just might...

    Reverse light options

    Yeah, holidays and weekends only, I'm gonna have to pass on that one. She's going to be a daily driver, but have to put that on hold. New issue with the tail lights just popped up just in time as I was getting ready to finish up the new bed install. Life of a squarebody owner right? lol

    Side marker led lights dim when marker lights on

    Open or floating ground in the circuit. If the right rear doesn't work, I'd start there. Could be a bad bulb, bulb connection or ground issue. Make sure you've got grounds at all 4 corners and they go back to the bulb socket.

    Reverse light options

    Thanks all. In Central Mass and yeah, the guy I go to does commercial inspections as well, might be them just making it match. Buddy that does state inspections in Hingham mentioned the same. I do, and the oem switch is still at the base of the column. Manual shift Lever was removed from the...

    Reverse light options

    Would love to have that option, but state inspector says that's a no-no . Lights must be able to turn on/off when going in to and out of reverse. Plus the fact that everything is being audio and video recorded, makes those little slips that much harder to get by with now.

    Reverse light options

    Old school Daytona shifter like below. Saw the Holley switch as an option, but with the way the shifter mounts to the trans, the bracket just unfortunately wouldn't work for my application.

    Reverse light options

    I've been doing some research but nobody has really discussed this here, so here it goes... My 83 stepside was originally a 4.1 and a 3 speed Saginaw on the tree and has been moved to a floor shift. Yes I know the backup switch is on the column, but need an option to move the functionality to...

    Vent Window rubber replacement or replace?

    They're a total pita to rebuild. If you can locally source a set in better shape, do that. Then if you feel confident in rebuilding them, go for it while you've got a working set already installed. Also check the overall length, some have longer window channels and some are shorter Or you can...

    1985 C20: Power to cab, will not start when key is in "on" position

    Could be a lot of different things. Neutral Safety Switch, Ignition switch, bad ground, bad starter etc. Start with making sure the starter is good. Enlist the help of a buddy to make sure that when the key is turned to the start position, you get power to the solenoid. If no power at the...

    1986 Automatic Transmission Leak

    Transmission fluid, like a lot of the other fluids in these old girls, have a tendency to migrate and make you think it's coming from somewhere, only to be not even remotely close at times. Like previously mentioned, hose her down with some cleaner or wipe it down thoroughly and then check for...

    Master cylinder ID help needed

    So a little back info on what I've got. 83 Stepside that was originally a 4.1 I6 3 on the tree. PO swapped the 4.1 for a mild build 350 sbc and moved the column shifter to the floor. Appears that the PO, or one of them, had intentions of hot rodding it and did some funky stuff. Won't get into...

    Brake Booster Adjustment

    Yes there is. You'll need to remove the master cylinder from the brake booster and use a tool that'll set the depth on one side, and the opposite side will let you set the depth on the booster side. At the booster, turn the rod CCW to make the rod longer, clockwise to make it shorter. Should be...

    New to the forum, not to squarebodies

    Hi everybody. New to the forum, but not to these beautiful box shaped heartbreakers lol. Been around these truck as a kid and then again most of my adult life. Yeah I took a break in between there for a while, but I've got room for one in my driveway and it's been filled. Been an owner from a 71...
