    General Spring of KC

    I had to buy some new U bolts last week for my rear diff swap on my 78 K20, and General Spring of Kansas City had what I needed. I would highly recommend these guys if you're in need of the same. Their site was easy to use, and allows you to select thickness, length, diameter, thread pitch, and...

    E-brake lever E clip - where to find them?

    I need the little "E" clips that hold the e-brake lever pivot peg in place where it pokes through the rear brake shoe on my 14 bolt rear end. Anyone know where I can find them?

    Clamping brake lines to axle tubes?

    What do you guys use? My tabs are broken off, and short of welding new ones on (which is a possibility) what do y'all suggest? I'd like something that is durable and doesn't look like a complete **** show. BigT

    Anyone do business with Squarebody Classifieds in NOLA before?

    Found these guys on FB Marketplace, don't know anything about them. Would love to know if anyone else has bought from them before. Thanks!

    Aftermarket seatbelt mounting question.

    I have a new set of belts from LMC, but as I'm sure many of you know, they do not mount exactly like the OEM belts, nor do they allow for the plastic cover to go back on with them. Does anyone make an adapter plate for the new belts so they can be mounted vertically and use the OEM plastic...

    Squarebody meetup in Central WA this summer? Interest?

    I'm pretty new here, but I'm noticing there are quite a few members from the northwest states. I've already connected with Craig here in Selah, and I just made friends yesterday with a young guy a couple houses up from me who drives an 81 yesterday. There is a great little car show here called...

    8 lug slots...?

    I did some searching for threads on this, but couldn't find the answer I needed, so I'll ask it, even though I KNOW it's been asked before. Is anyone making any 8 lug slots in 16x8 or 17x8? I don't want the vintage 16.5x8.25 wheels because of the usual tire availability issues, and I don't want...

    Changing gear ratios: opinions/suggestions wanted!!

    My 78 K20 4x4 has factory 4:56 gears in it and a TH400 transmission. These are great when off-road or pulling something, but poor on the highway. I grew up with a 75 half ton 4x4 with 3:73 gears and a 4 speed manual, which was very versatile for both off-road and highway, but that was partly due...

    '78 K20 wiper and headlight switch selection help needed!

    I'm pretty sure one of the previous owners of my truck installed the wrong gauge bezel from an earlier truck, because they modified both holes in the bezel for the wiper switch and the headlight switch. I can get a new bezel at some point, but I need to figure out if I have the correct switches...

    New to the forum, but not to Squarebodies...

    I grew up with Squarebody Chevies, as my dad had 3 or 4 of them over the years; I even learned to drive in a '75 1/2 ton 4X4 manual hauling hay bales. After about 20 years without one around, I recently bought an almost entirely cancer-free '78 Scottsdale K20 for my daily driver. Mildly built...
