    Not what I wanted to hear, but, thanks for the information.

    Auto Locking Hubs?

    Is it possible to convert the front axle on my Square Body to auto locking hubs? I realize everything in my driveline is mechanical as opposed to electrical, but, it would be great if I could just grab the stick on the floor when I want the extra help from the front wheels. Manual hubs is...

    Show Us Your Man Cave

    Not me. My house keeping skills aren't exactly up to OSHA standards. I don't think it would take very long before the shop bathroom got to the point where I wouldn't want to use it and cleaning would barely enter my mind. Before you know it, it'd have to be burned for environmental reasons.

    Longhorns?

    DAMN. That bitch is long! Um, do want.

    Awesome CUCV find!

    I want one with a 6.2 as well, but, I want mine to be a gasser. I don't know enough about diesels to even have one built and I wouldn't drive it enough for fuel mileage to be a concern.

    Awesome CUCV find!

    I want one because I want another Square Body that isn't completely rotten. I'd REALLY love to get myself a 2WD Square Body. Granted, I don't have the budget or the space to work on a second Square right now, but, it's nice to know where to look. Are they all 1 ton trucks?

    Awesome CUCV find!

    Is this dude local to you? How much is he asking for the trucks? Were all the CUCV's LWB? I think the phrase I am looking for is "Do Want".

    Get a idea on what wheels will look like on your ride

    I get a blank page as well and I have all the proper plug ins as well as a disabled Ad Block Plus.

    Looking for special jack stands

    In my high school shop, we had jack stands that you could bolt on to the axles in place of the wheels. The height was adjustable with a screw like adjustment. They would make working on my truck SOOO much easier since I wouldn't have to keep the stands actually UNDER the truck. Anybody know...

    Show Us Your Man Cave

    Technically, my entire house is my man cave since I currently live alone. However, my garages are my true caves. I have two two car garages. One is attached to the house. I keep my Nova and my S10 in there along with a healthy selection of tools. My second garage in my back yard. That's a...

    stepside pics

    I think I just copied half of this thread to my photobucket account! This is the only contribution I can make. I would LOVE to get my hands on a RCSS GMSB 2WD for a summer driver.

    Suburban Fuel Tank in Rear of Pick Up???

    Nope. Did not know that. Figured the extra weight in the back would offset the V8 in the front and reduce the front to rear weight bias. See. There's a reason I admitted to not knowing anything.

    this forum is a ghost town lately.

    Well, duh! I really did not want to go back to FSC when I got stumped with a problem. Everything on GMFS is focused on the 99 and up trucks so I doubt I would get much help there. I guess I could have joined CK5, but, WTH. Why not start all sorts of fresh?

    I love..

    I love it when I wander into my second garage, which is in my back yard and well away from the house, to either grab a tool or pull my motorcycle out for a ride and my one set of neighbors will always pack up whatever they had on their deck and go inside their house. When I take the bike out, I...

    Suburban Fuel Tank in Rear of Pick Up???

    For the filler neck, run it behind the tail lights like some of the shaved show trucks. I kind of want to do something similar with my S10, except the rear tank would be filled with concrete so I could have some weight in the back and maybe gain some traction.

    Racing games were ruined for me when Need For Speed took on the "mission" concept where you have to earn money to unlock cars.

    Who needs a engine hoist?

    You would think more engine hoists would be available with "off road" tires. Even with the cleanest of garage floors, mine will find SOMETHING to get hung up on.

    Longhorns?

    It could have been a special ordered fleet truck. I've heard that Square Bodies continued production well into the 90's for fleet and military applications.

    Longhorns?

    A quick search said GM stopped making the 8 1/2 ft and 9ft beds in '72. Ford started making them in '73.

    Junkyard finds - post yours?

    Truthfully, I wouldn't even bother looking for Square Body parts at the junk yard. Square Bodies are so rare to see on the street, I don't expect to find anything at the junkyard. Most of the stuff around here is mostly 90s and up as well.

    Full Floater vs Semi Floater - What's the diff?

    So a full floater is like what's typically found in the back of a 3500 series dually where you have to pull the axle off before you can remove the rear drums and a semi floater is what I've got in my S10 and V10?

    Full Floater vs Semi Floater - What's the diff?

    I've heard of semi floater rear ends. I've heard of full floater rear ends. WTF is the difference between the two?

    Junkyard finds - post yours?

    Not at the yard near me. The surrounding property is pretty rough. It's also a huge lot with lots of cameras.

    Lets see your lifted trucks

    One day, my 87 will be reassembled with a 6" lift and either 33's or 35's.
