    Cargo and Dome not working

    I know about turning the knob to turn on the dome light. I should've been more clear. The dome light didn't come on when the doors were opened, cleaning the switches fixed that.

    Cargo and Dome not working

    My dome light wasn't working. I took out the switches in the door frame and lightly sanded them, fixed up both sides and the light works great. Make sure you push the spring loaded contacts in and out in order to clean them up at the point of contact.

    HELP WITH WHEEL AND TIRE SET UP

    Factory rear bracket and shackle should give you 6-7" drop with the flip kit. I used a 2.5" drop spindle along with a 2" drop spring in front. Turned out the aftermarket springs were weak and sacked the front end too far down. I added a 5/16" spring spacer to put the front end right and now the...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    I like your orange belts. 40 years ago my neighbor's dad had an orange Square. Pretty sure it was factory paint, but I don't remember the interior color. Just curious, did GM do a factory interior with orange belts?

    Interior lights issue.

    On my truck I installed a new dome light bulb thinking it was bad because it wouldn't come on with either door open. Took out the door switches and gave them a good cleaning with emery cloth concentrating on the contact points of the switch shaft, viola! Both worked like new.

    Deleting the Catalytic Converter

    Mine is a 77 long bed. Though I still have to do smog checks it came stock without a cat due to the 6050 GVWR. I went with dual 2 1/2" exhaust with 40 series Flowmasters, H pipe, and side exits. Doesn't stink or offend anyone and sounds amazing.

    Temp gauge issues

    Sounds like the resistor on the back of your gauge is faulty. On my 77 c10 the gauge would read low till I replaced it with a new one from LMC. Around $40 if I recall correctly.

    I have Original front rotors?? I need replacements. 1' or 1.25 Look inside!

    The 4th pic from the top of your OP. At the 7 0'clock position are the letters MIN, following that should be a number. I can't read it from here but what is that number?

    I’m so smart

    My 77 doesn't have the inspection holes. You need to remove the drum and adjust the brakes from the outer side. It's just a little at a time until the adjustment is correct then re-install the drum.

    some 4/6 drop wheel help (yea i know)

    Something else to think about. The 2" drop springs have settled a bit and the top of my tire is rubbing the inner fender well over bumps. It's a 28" diameter tire. I bought some 5/8" spring spacers in case the rubbing gets worse but as of now it's not enough to make me want to change the rake...

    some 4/6 drop wheel help (yea i know)

    These rears are 15x10 with a 4-1/2" backspace. I used the same McGaughys parts you are planning to use. There was no way I had frame clearance without the C notch.

    some 4/6 drop wheel help (yea i know)

    On my truck with 2-1/2" drop spindles the 15" factory wheel just clears the steering knuckle. Backspace is 3-1/2". 3-3/4" backspace would probably fit with a little trimming on the knuckle. 4" won't fit with a 15" wheel.
