Cup Holder
No. Never seen one exactly like that and I personally would not, could not use that one. When both of my roommates ride with me I would NOT want that thing to add to the trauma if we were to have a wreck. These old trucks have no airbags and the center seat belt is only a lap belt. That... -
Bumper Fangs - SOLD
Just for comparison purposes... I recently paid $286.99 before tax, free shipping for these parts. It was worth it to me but it should show just how great the price was on these. @Doppleganger offered one heck of a great deal. -
What have you done to your square lately??
OE air breather and duct hose installed. I cleaned them up but didn't want to get them too pretty yet...they wouldn't match the rest of the ugliness! -
What have you done to your square lately??
And then... But what would require a specially made, customized shipping box? Cleaning this stuff up now for installation later. I want The '87 to look as original as possible when I open the hood. A BIG Thank You to @AyWoSch Motors for going out of his way to get me these... -
What have you done to your square lately??
I finished the most important part of the shock installation. I applied the stickers. We all know how much difference stickers make... -
What have you done to your square lately??
I replaced a very worn out set of front shocks with a new set of Skyjacker Nitro 8000s. The passenger's side was dripping oil, I had been wanting to change them anyway and that was the excuse I needed. These are set up for the 2 inch lift so I am hoping for good results. I won't be able to... -
How to increase your odds for success at automotive wiring, electrical installation and trouble shooting.
I agree with almost everything you guys have said here but I will say that not everyone starts at the same point in a troubleshooting job. Some begin at the power source, some at the end user and others like to find a point somewhere in the middle and work from there. One of the best...- Redfish

What have you done to your square lately??
I drove The '87 to a car show in Hammond Lousiana. It was a mediocre show, it rained a couple of times but I did get a couple of decent pics. -
Truck @ The Garage Anxiety
So you lied to the man about "no rush" but you expect him to be honest with you? ;) That was meant to be a joke so don't get mad yet! I am in complete agreement with @Itali83 , if you can replace a window motor, an oil change is no issue. You do realize that an oil change and a fuel filter... -
What have you done to your square lately??
I adjusted the idle. That sounds pretty simple right? Well...I have read a LOT of stuff on this forum and elsewhere that went into great detail about unplugging things, resetting things, the TBI system is nothing like a carburetor... I was honestly worried about this. I didn't know how many... -
✌ South Louisiana
@HiCotton there is a C10 Club Facebook page that will give you access to some pretty decent folks. There were a few decent Squares at the car show in Jackson, LA. One guy in your area has a superb blue and silver K20, I met him in Clinton the day of the Jackson show. What kind of winch do you...- Redfish

Towing with a 305 V8?
@Velder if it's the stock transmission it is NOT a 5 speed. Probably a 4 speed auto, 700R4. The right gears and the right mindset make the tow vehicle work. A man with realistic expectations and some common sense can do a lot with a 305. @SirRobyn0 has a very nice C20 that has a 305 and he...- Redfish

What have you done to your square lately??
It wasn't as bad as I feared. I didn't enjoy it but at least the stupid window goes up and down without assistance now. For some reason it never wanted to work when Mrs. Redfish was in the truck. I think her weight was causing the chassis to flex and bend putting the mechanism in a bind. :(... -
What have you done to your square lately??
I started a project I have needed to tackle since I bought The '87. I was intimidated by this one, y'all can laugh if you want. It's not finished but I have had a long day and it will get done tomorrow morning. -
What have you done to your square lately??
I cleaned it, shined it and drove it to the Jambalaya Festival Car Show. It hauled the canopy, the chairs, the ice chest and of course a bunch of tools that I did not have to use. -
Removing a leaf from a spring pack...which one?
I removed the bottom leaf, the shortest leaf in the stack when I modified my front springs. I agonized over that decision...it worked out okay for what I was trying to accomplish. In my case I had to shorten the bolt/pin afterwards. I wanted to get the nose level with, or slightly lower than...- Redfish

steering box adjustment
When you have tightened it too much the steering wheel will no longer return to center on its own. You will have to turn the wheel back to center every time while a properly adjusted steering box will allow the steering wheel to come back to center/straight as soon as you are moving.- Redfish

How much does tire size effect speedometer?
It is obvious that larger tires will cause an error in the speedometer readings. The faster you go, the greater the error. I am running 33s so I put my GPS on the dash and compared the actual to the indicated. 45 mph indicated is 51 actual. 50 indicated is 57 actual. Installing lower gears...- Redfish

Locking Hub Body Won't Seal To Hub
I honestly don't see what effect the vent could have here. The front axle tubes are dry and the axle shafts can be moved inward and outward with relative ease. The rotor/hub assembly should not be affected by anything going on in the differential housing.- Redfish

Locking Hub Body Won't Seal To Hub
Mine is doing the same thing although not as bad as yours. The bolts, as you already discovered will only pull in until there is metal to metal contact. I assume that there is wear/slack in the snap ring and snap ring groove and that the O-Ring should be replaced. Warn sells a rebuild kit...- Redfish

Trailer hitch recommendations
The PO of my '87 installed an Acme hitch. This little hitch simply bolts to the underside of the bumper with 4 bolts. Obviously the weight rating of the bumper is the limiting factor here. It allows me to use any length drop or rise ball mount I need and it sets the trailer back far enough... -
Please Help me get this truck going!
O2 Sensor? How does that look? A rebuild kit for the throttle body is relatively cheap and is easy to do. The ignition module inside the distributor can affect things also. On my '87 every single part I replaced had a noticeable effect on performance. The ignition module, the distributor...- Redfish

Front 2-3" Springs
@89GMCJimmy I am sorry I missed the original posting for this thread. I have the Skyjacker 2.5 inch Softride on the front of my '87. There is no point in saying that it rides well, but it does ride a LOT better than the OE springs. The truck rode slightly nose up and I hate that look so I...- Redfish

Blue Print or GM Performance
The roller cam would be enough to make me choose the Blueprint. The extra 50 horsepower wouldn't hurt either.- Redfish
