    Paul's 1972 Truck...

    So my older brother wanted a truck and finally started looking in the usual places. His budget is big enough that it could have been a totally cleaned up and resto modded cruiser if thats what we had found. But those often don't need much done to them and that isn't always the most fun. So our...

    Centerline *Style* Wherls 15x8-1/2 and 5 X 5 bolt pattern

    I picked these four wheels up in a package last year. I don't have a vehicle with this bolt pattern on them and want them to go away. Tires are doo doo and should be changed out. The wheels I believe are American Racing and are 15" x 8.5" wide. One wheel has a boogerie hole where it looks like...

    1973 AMC Hornet

    So this one belongs to one of my sons friends, Jacob. He sold a Jeep Cherokee and found this one appealing to him and he purchased it a couple years ago. Just this week a cool review of his car was put out on to the YouTubes...

    1970 & 1971 Kawasaki 100cc G4TR's

    In my history of not finishing projects, I have continued doing just that.... Enter a pair of vintage Kawasaki 2 stroke dirt bikes. Max has been looking dirt bikes off and on for the last few weeks as a couple of his buddies have them. To get him started I suggested a vintage bike that is cheap...

    Maxwellvis. A 20 year old with a 1949 Chevrolet truck.

    Sooo junior decided the other day after I pointed it out to him, that he could sell off his current 1955 Bel Air and then take the cash he has saved and turn around to buy a running driver of the same flavor that he could enjoy now. So he started looking around and came upon a 1949 truck. He...

    Car Stereo Amplifier Repair Service

    While getting back into car stereo stuffs, I have a few car amplifiers that are in need of qualified service. Two of them came to me broken from a garage sale for the large sum of $FREE. One came from another garage sale and cost a massive $5, so I thought I would try it out. Naturally none of...

    Bought a kid that isn't mine a 1976 Nova...

    Yup. @Maxwellvis has a buddy Brian. Brians home life has not been the best, but he is a good kid. He currently drives a VTec Honda Civic and is not real fond of it. The three of us were going to the junkyard yesterday to look for some stuff. I had no agenda other than finding gold in what ever...

    Back into car audio for the Square....

    My kid just got me back into car stereo stuff. I used to have a 1982 GMC S-15 as a kid. I managed to get a hold of a pair of PPI Art Series amplifiers. One was a A100 that was 50w X 2 and the other was the A300 which is 150w X 2. I coupled the A300 two a set of new at the time Kicker Solobaric...

    1995 Suburban Family Battlewagon

    Here we go again with the rear end spitting its guts out. This will be the 3rd failure with the first two being extreme budget rebuilds and the last a full boogie Eaton Detroit True Track. On Friday night I was in a parking lot turning to get into a lane for a space. As I was turning, I felt...

    Alternator issues....

    This is from the "What have you done to your Squarebody" post. It will keep the information in one spot and easy to keep track of for all of us. Our truck has had a random charging issue since the alternator that came on it died a year or so ago. @Maxwellvis has been daily driving it and the...

    BBC Headers, A Question....

    I have found a set of Hooker Headers that are for a Corvette. I was wondering if any of you have used them from a Vette on one of these trucks. I know that Chevelle and Camaro headers typically work fine and tuck the pipes up. I just don't know the differences of how Corvettes are built. This...

    1954 Chevrolet Bel Air

    Since I could never afford the 1955 I had always wanted, I started looking at the earlier cars. I fell in love with the '54 in the four door model. I just like the lines better on them. After some years of lust and drooling we had a few bucks due to a settlement. She got a nice diamond ring and...

    1955 Chevrolet Bel Air More Door For A 16 Year Old

    This is the slow moving tale of my sons first car. Sooooo.... A year or so ago, my son (16 at the time) had the day off from school and was perusing Craigslist for fun. I was at work and he kept sending me links to trucks from the 'List that he would love to have. He really wants an early '50s...

    1995 Sub Daily Grocery Getter

    Last week we had a wheel decide it no longer wanted to be used. It came off the thing when we were driving to a hockey game. I pulled off the road using the drum and we went and got the wheel and tire from traffic. The lug holes in the wheel became oval shaped and no longer would hold the lug...

    Dual Exhaust Crossover Compatability with SM-465

    I am going to be putting a new dual exhaust under my truck soon and have been looking at the options that exist for the transmission support. For the record my truck is a 3/4 ton 2wd with a 454, SM-465 4 speed manual, and a FF 14 bolt. It may end up getting lowered some in the future, so I...

    DIY - Battery Cables

    I have built these cables for all of the cars in my driveway as well as sets for friends. This will be a lot of photos, but it saves me from having to type all this stuff out once again...

    Canadian, Eh - 1979 Siverado Camper Special C20

    I just a week ago picked up another square body truck. This will be the 3rd one that I have had. It is as the title describes. It was built in the Owosa factory just outside of Toronto. From what I can see it lived in British Columbia until around 1990 or so. At that time it came into the...
