    Thermostat 195?

    I had my truck overheat on a short road trip so I stopped and ran into a small town parts store and bought a new one. I bought the cheapest one they had, I know brain dead right? It lasted for one month and one day when it started running hotter but not into the red. I bought an AC Deco and...

    It’s a disease

    Welcome to the Square Body nut house. I am on my 4th and have had it tore apart for 3.5 months. I have three "books" running for this one. Book one is a three ring binder with all of my receipts and a running total. Don't cheat here. Number two book is a note pad that I keep track of all my...

    Ran yesterday but not today… just bought it yesterday!

    If it's a 1406 I think your vac advance hose is hooked up to the wrong side. The side with the vac cap is the metered side and is where the vac advance hose should be connected. The side its connected to is just straight vac from the manifold. I would hook up the choke as it doesn't hurt...

    Clean old windows- years of gunk!

    I use a wetsponge buffing pad and some polishing compound. It even takes off old water spots and baked on crud.

    The old 700R4 questions!

    Well at least I gave you a chance to bellow at someone. I was a service manager at a Chevy dealership in a small farming community. I can only speak from my experience when the first 700R4 came out. Lots of farmers and loggers bought new trucks and for whatever reason the transmissions failed...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Installed a set of used but like new sun visors that I have had in my stash for about 3 years.

    Take a look at this rust spot, please.

    I would sand it then use something like POR 15 over the rust spots. It's easy to prep and paint over down the road and in my experience you can stop worrying about the rust.

    radio sound?

    Did you break the frame or the glass? I found a used frame at a local body shop for mine it was free. They had one from a crunched door. Just a thought.

    1979 Chevy Radio wires

    I have installed several Retro Sound radios in my old cars and in 2 square bodyC10s. In the photo if you look at the flasher in the upper left-hand corner, right below it you will see two places, either one of which will work for your switched power, just put a spade (male) end on the wire your...

    The old 700R4 questions!

    Slightly off topic but! I was a Service manager at a Chevrolet dealership when the 700R4 came out and we had about a billion transmission fails. I don't know what has been done to your transmission but I would strongly recommend that you never use the OD if you have any kind of load or are in...

    Help with wiring!

    I think if you disconnect the headlights from the power source one at a time and the truck will shut off then it has to be that the wiring for that headlight, is back feeding to the key. I would disconnect the head lights one at a time. if it still keeps running with only one headlight plugged...
