    1978 vs. 1988-1994 steering wheel bolt pattern

    I think the splines changed in '95 when they went to the airbag column but I could be wrong....

    Cruise In "Saturday Night at the Movies"

    A Comfort Grip wheel in its natural habitat! Used pull these out of cars at the wrecking yards, 25-30 years ago. Still have a few of the horn buttons.

    Let’s see your memorabilia?!

    I have one of the two door Delco tune up cabinets that Dad got decades ago from the parts store we had. I'll get a picture sometime; it's in the back of the shop building and it's rather dark back there cause it's a ways from the door....

    1981 gmc 3500 two tone blue and silver pictures?

    Maybe it's just the angle of the shot, but it kinda looks like a cab and chassis truck to me. As noted, rear axle and frame are narrower than a conventional dually with a bed. This is to allow more fitment of work bodies....

    1981 gmc 3500 two tone blue and silver pictures?

    In the early slope nose trucks (81-84) there were several similar color combos. The dually @Edelbrock pictured is one: navy blue (not metallic) and charcoal gray metallic. Our '84 Burb was like this but silver metallic in the side panels, with the navy blue being the primary color. There was...

    1978 Suburban just came in to a local yard

    Same yard put out an '88 R10 Burb this week. Hopefully I can get over there on Wednesday and check these out/pull some stuff off them. They have a few OBS trucks I need to harvest things from too.

    Let’s see your memorabilia?!

    Walker glasspacks were called Blue Swingers. Real pretty shade of metallic blue, a little bit darker than Hawaiian Blue, and they sounded great on the '78 Sierra shop truck with headers. I think Dad probably had the Maremont Cherry Bombs on that '67 C10 with the six in it, when it had the split...

    To Do List - Advice?

    I'll add in, the Blue Streak cap and rotor have brass contacts and better plastic. We ran those on all our square body trucks and Burbs (8 total) and on our Buick LeSabre Estate Wagon too. Coil in cap HEI, I would not use anything else.

    Square body truck diecast for sale

    Not really diecast, but I just picked up these two models at the club meeting tonight. Both appear to be complete but they have been opened. Decals for each are also inside the instructions. $25 each or both for $45(or best reasonable offer).... The '76 has the really nice decals like the...

    Did ALL 1977's get yellow painted side trim?

    What I was told, about why the '77s got the yellow trim paint stripes, is that it was in commemoration of GM's 50th anniversary. However I can also see the possibility of a plant or assembly line running out of the correct trim and replacing it with the black stripe trim if that's what was...

    Seat frame Question.....

    The later high back buckets tilt rearward but not forward. That said, I don't remember seeing this piece on our 79, 84 or 90 Burbs and all had buckets.

    1977 C20 Heavy duty with 11.15 drums?

    Here are some pictures I took of a C20 custom deluxe stepside in the storage place I use. Has a FF axles and 16" steel wheels; those drums look little in the wheels.... truck has a fo fiddy fo in it too. Hopefully someone gets ahold of it to put it back running, this is a kinda rare truck, long...

    Interior color combos for Ochre (Spanish Gold) exterior paint

    I would think the saddle tan would have been most common. Our '78 GMC Sierra shop truck was Colonial Yellow and it had saddle tan vinyl interior. But I'm sure others who know way more than me, will chime in.....

    1978 Suburban just came in to a local yard

    Unfortunately in Texas, once the yard gets it on the picking lot, it's theirs. However, this company does sell used cars... maybe you could get ahold of them and see if they will sell it to you and prove me wrong.... U Pull And Pay/Houston/Texas/used cars....

    Unlock barn doors from inside

    Something along similar lines: the OBS Burbs have a rocker switch by the right side door post, just inside on the D pillar, that locks/unlocks the rest of the doors with the power locks. I wanted this feature on our square body Burbs....

    1978 Suburban just came in to a local yard

    Yup I don't like that they do that. LKQ gives you several angles. But these guys are cheaper on most stuff and I'm in the VIP club so I get in for $2 instead of $3: it's $5 now at LKQ.

    1978 Suburban just came in to a local yard

    Hey all, I check the local wrecking yard listings frequently, in the Houston, Texas area. This popped up today, yard put it out sometime yesterday. Looks like it's got plenty of good stuff left on it, to save other trucks. This is the U Pull And Pay, in SE Houston, close to Hobby Airport. I will...

    New member with a new C10 build

    The later style came out in '77.... I just sold the accessories brochure/catalog for that year but I took pics of it for posterity. Our '81 had the GMC version on it....The other picture shows the bumper guards.

    Is the polished/chrome tailgate cap stock, on my 87.

    Those factory plastic gate top rails are on the NBS and newer, especially on the 2007- up trucks. Those gates are thicker than the square body or OBS gates.

    Center/carrier bearing orientation - 76 C20 suburban

    That's the part I was thinking of. I looked at my OBS Crew Cab and it has that part too. Looks a little bit different but considering it's a newer generation and twenty years newer... this is to be expected. Still not sure about those other covers/washers. I don't recall having those on our...

    What would you pay for this truck?

    Thinking about what I wrote: I'm thinking that the '78 Sierra shop truck had the white version of this cap on it when we got it. We bought it in May or early June of '78, and after it was wrecked at less than a year old, it got the GM factory wagon wheels, painted Colonial Yellow like the rest...
