    What have you done to your square lately??

    ^ Well as luck would have it , OC Autocarpet has 5 different shades of brown-beige….and mandarin orange, yeah it ain’t orange. I must be starting to go color blind lol.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    You’re correct, although looked like orange carpet was an option with my truck (lookin at the options in the Vehicle Info Kit). And my carpet just like that Blazer looks too orange to be brown or possibly too brown to be orange. Everything in the cab is 100% original (except the floor mats)...

    Looks nice! Hey do you know if that carpet is orange or brown? My 77 has the same interior as yours. Needs carpet. Both colors were an option for this paint and int colors. I can’t tell.

    Brown chicken, brown cow! Nothing else will do.

    New For Me 1985 Silverado 20 6.2 Diesel

    Agree. 25mpg avg is rose colored glasses even if in a half ton with OD and tall gearing. I’d be very suspect of a result like that in a 3/4ton turbo 400/4.10 combo from what I recall and heard back in the day when more of them were on the road. By the same token, while the 6.2 would be an...

    Did this K20 come factory with catalytic converter?

    And I quoted @AuroraGirl, responding to her post.

    Did this K20 come factory with catalytic converter?

    Fortunately cash for clunkers hasn’t been an issue since 2009. Year over year, state emissions testing has been reduced or stayed the same. Not certain any state has made tougher emissions testing requirements in a long time. EV sales and EV initiatives and production are leveling off, EV...

    Did this K20 come factory with catalytic converter?

    My no cat 86 C6P has like 3 different factory heat shields underneath. And the OP doesn’t have the sticker. He qualified that in the first post. And they all have evap.

    Changing brake fluid

    Yeah idk, it’s obviously not the “best” most complete method of brake flush but IMO pretty good and certainly better than staring at it getting older by the year. I tend to do a “lazy man’s flush” on many components. As much as the OCD side of me grumbles about it, the fact of the matter is, I...

    Did this K20 come factory with catalytic converter?

    Not sure why the antagonism for a “few” old trucks that either don’t require or could easily be a model of a few years different vintage that don’t require ______ (fill in the blank for which piece of emissions equipment being discussed). Even the govt has stopped caring about what comes out the...

    350 TBI Exhaust Manifold AIR System

    I think we’re talking apples and oranges here. You’re generalizing this as all vehicles with emissions controls from the factory it seems. Agreed, if I had a stock “antique” vehicle, as all the vehicles in the subject matter of this forum are antiques and it was cooking along just fine with...

    c10 control arms, installed new control arms and now my truck sets to high and the tire's turned in

    You need to do 2 things. 1. Wait for the new springs to break in. It’ll settle down a little. Unless you bought stiffer springs than you need. 2. Get a front end alignment. But ride height shouldn’t have changed toe “that” much. Thank god it’s adjustable. I’d probably just adjust the toe...

    350 TBI Exhaust Manifold AIR System

    And yet I have 3 old carbureted vehicles. No emissions on them, and drivability and exhaust smell are simply non issues. Even the one with side pipes.

    1991 Chevy V3500 Cummins

    Sort of agree, although I would think OPs mileage should be better as well. 37s on a lifted brick is a recipe for horrible mileage. Going to 3.73 gears is a waste of $ imo. Even if they net you 1mpg better, the roi will take ALOT of miles to break even. 35s on a lifted squarebody brick with...

    1977 C10 Rear speakers??

    Let’s not bypass the obvious. Even if it’s stereo and has those outputs it will still sound gross and not loud. (likely doesn’t though if it doesn’t have secondary controls on both knobs, 1 for tone and 1 for balance/fade….been a long time since I’ve used a functioning 70s OE car stereo, lol. We...

    Nice work! @Ron Sebastian. Messing with internet scammers has been a mild source of entertainment for like 20 years now. Back in the day, buddy and I were both boat shopping at the same time, so we were getting a 2for deal on scammers. And this was back when they were more real and less bots...

    1982 C30, idea for active triple tanks, not just a transfer tank.

    I’m not aware of replacement “massive” saddle tanks you describe but I would endeavor that 40 gal of gas in saddle tanks would provide a similar size fire as 80 gal, so who cares…. The size of the saddle tanks isn’t a real world concern from a safety standpoint. That said, I can’t envision an...

    Brakes still dont work.

    If you don’t know that, then great chance the rear brakes are loose and causing a lot of pedal travel (fluid) before engaging. Also if they are not new adjuster wheels, should disassemble them, clean and lube the threads as a matter of course so the brakes can adjust easily and properly over...

    Exterior moldings

    Interested to know as well. I’m sure the $300 kit is recycled pop cans and dent just as easily, lol. I bet @TotalyHucked can provide an accurate review as his employer provides the mid priced option.

    Lotsa nice squares on CL out here right now!

    Another happy Oregon truck. I’m surprised this one is still around. Either the color or sum ting wong with it maybe? Has a very nice lookin brand new seat as well and from the pics it looks 100% original exterior and the trim ain’t even falling off. And if it’s had that gramper topper on it...

    How to switch from a DRW to a SRW in a 1981 K30 / 350 engine / 3 speed manual / 4x4

    Assume the OP is out turnin and burnin with the snowplow. Or just figured out that it’s easier to leave his truck alone and move on. He’s in a unique position for his goals. 1. Selling it and buying a comparable srw is more of a challenge in his corner of the continent because of …. Rust...

    Does a seal exist for my factory 1977 c10 sliding window

    They don’t. Not even remotely the same window or body style.
