    Color match for blue interior

    Trust GM to have 3 colors of blue, and 2 of em are real close.... That interior color does go well with the body color though. I remember my grandma's '68 Tempest having the metallic blue interior, and it seems like every piece of it was a slightly different shade. That car was garaged... when...

    1981-82 Metal Lower Tailgate Mldg

    IIRC it was the 305 and 350 4 barrels. Our '81 Sierra shop truck had a 305 2 barrel (dual jet). So no ESC badge...but I remember seeing a lot of trucks with that badge, back in the day. I was in high school in the early 80s....

    What is this? Asking for a friend

    Could be the brake light switch for a truck with cruise control. I remember seeing those, back when square body trucks were fairly new(in my parts store days).

    Year ID - Headlight Bezel

    I think the one he got sent is the 81-82 V22 quad headlights bezel. The 83-84 has the color band between the sealed beams, (85-87 have a recess where the color band is on the 83-84)(to the best of my recollection). Dad had the V22 stuff for an '81 front clip he was going to put on the '75. I...

    Hi, from west Texas.

    This has my OBS crew cab, but the caption could equally apply to a square body version. "It's not big... it's Texas sized!"

    Hi, from west Texas.

    Old joke about Texas and Texans: Never ask a man if he's from Texas. If he is, you'll know. If he isn't, you'll embarrass him......

    Quadrajet Filter Spring

    My best friend in third grade was an only child like me, but her dad was in the "oil bidness" so they were a bit better off than my family. She had every Barbie toy or accessory, but her folks were also enlightened enough that she had toy cars too. She gave me Matchbox and Hot Wheels cars for my...

    Hi, from west Texas.

    Hey... lots of area, lots of people, lots of uses for trucks...=lots of trucks! Remember this is also the state that made the later square body Burb "the national car of Texas"!

    Quadrajet Filter Spring

    We got the parts store right before I turned 11. I was a Daddy's girl anyway and loved cars. Yes I was playing with Hot Wheels and Matchbox cars! After we got the store, I was either there, or at home or school.....

    Quadrajet Filter Spring

    That's the way I remember it too. I'll have to ask my retired mechanic cousin next time I talk to him.... I also remember there being 2 different styles of the nut/filter housing that screw into the carb body. IIRC the Chevy/GMC carbs had the fuel line come in from the passenger side of the...

    So can someone tell me . . .

    There are several different trim rings that will fit these wheels. Dad liked the more square edges with just a little bit of rounding, and he found some for the '79 and '84 Burbs. I wanna say that's what the original style was?? But there are other styles with the wider, more sloped profile...

    So can someone tell me . . .

    Maybe 6", 7" and 8" from the factory? I know the 5 lug ones were available in 15x8 cause we had em on the back of the '84 Burb, with mudgrips on them. The early "star" style OBS alloys we had on the front. Dad liked that wheel and wanted to run them on all 4 corners, but they didn't have the...

    86 Suburban 2nd row shouldber belts

    Our '84 Burb had shoulder belts on the outer (next to door) second row seat, but it was a Silverado. Our '90 GMC Burb had them too. The '84 had them on the third row (I think?) but we yanked that seat out early on as we used that Burb for hauling stuff. The '90 did not have a third row seat.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    That makes sense. My dad's name was Jim and he really wanted a Beau James or a Gentleman Jim. So he made one, after a fashion....he was always one for customizing.

    Square body truck diecast for sale

    I presume by "car culture" you mean the haulers? I don't have but one of them left anyway, the second version with the '66 Chevelle on the ramp.

    Squares at Hot August Nights Reno, NV

    Love the gold '70 GTO next to the beautiful Burb too! Our family car was a '70 LeMans that thought it was a Goat, same color of gold with a white top and gold vinyl interior. Burb looks stock but those are '80-up mirrors. They look better than the original rectangular ones though.

    C10s on the Capital, Olympia WA. Photos for you all….

    Love the '57 GMC Suburban (yup that's what the GMC version of the Chevy Cameo OG fleetside is called). That's a rare truck! Tow rig for that one, '77 C30 Silverado dually, looks right nice too. The gold 77 trim looks super sharp with the black and white paint. Back then, GM called the big utes...

    Square body truck diecast for sale

    There are a few other color combos but this is what the dealer next to me had. She gave me a good deal on them so I figured I would share the wealth.... Looks like a pretty good replica of the real Burbs (we had 5 so I hope I know what they should look like lolol).

    GMT 400 Suburban dually - info ?

    No this guy is in the States, but he has a contact in Brazil. They've sold several sets, and they ship from Brazil (not sure of the state though).

    GMT 400 Suburban dually - info ?

    Yes! I have too, seen some in the park over the last few years as well. Most RV production, particularly the higher end models, is very limited compared to our trucks. So you often see repurposed things like this. My neighbor has an old motorhome that has a late 70s Dodge van grille, but...

    GMT 400 Suburban dually - info ?

    Interesting that y'all are talking about this....over on gmt400.com we've had a few threads on this very subject. There's a company in Brazil that has been making a different style of the OBS composite headlight lens/assembly, and these taillights. They use a circuit board like the US spec ones...
