    Engine lift points

    They look like the brackets. I think they would be bolted to the head or block for lifting. I guess technically they are.

    4x4 wheel hub caps

    It looks good. I need to paint one of the cab corner emblems. I replaced the driver side it had fallen off. The pass. side is faded.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Thanks for the part number. I would consider removing the stock hooks for the hitch. I had to cut the new air dam that i bought so it would clear the hooks. My bumper brackets are tweaked a little to the driver's side. I may have to fix them. I've looked at those hooks also. I bought the part...

    Rear shock mount problem

    Those are Unistrut washers. I'm guessing an electrical parts house , Grainger, McMaster Carr.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Thanks. Installing a front hitch is on my project list. I have one of those steps that go over the tire. The hood gets in the way using it. I usually use a portable work platform, it's much better than a step ladder. The bumper step is perfect for when you are on the road.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Is that a swing out step on the front or one mounted in a receiver hitch? Its a cool idea either way.

    1987 sbc long block valve cover oil cap

    I have the same covers on my truck. The cap has an O-ring and some course threads on it. Try and look for a 86-92 F body cap or early 90's truck cap.

    hei vacuum advance stop plate

    I'm thinking on some aftermarket distributors they come with a lock out plate that keeps you from running any vacuum advance. A lot of drag race cars are run with no vac. advance. Some guys weld stop on the stock plates.

    Working AC again

    Like the title states I have working AC after not having it for over a year. This problem started with a leaking Schrader valve on the small dia. tubing running from the condenser to the evap. I broke the tubing trying to replace the valve. I then ordered the wrong tubing from a local parts...

    Box swap

    I've seen it done and I'm on the fence about the look. The 1-piece fiber glass bed is lite weight.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    I also added a sill plate to cover up some rust. I cut these with a cut off wheel. I used double sided tape to attach them. I couldn't see paying $$ for the ones from LMC. You can also see some of my beer can body work in the pic.:D The plate needed to be a little longer in length, but it's what...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    I added an air dam to my truck. It didn't add as much in the looks department as I hoped for. I had to cut into 3 pieces in order for it to clear the tow (recovery) hooks. You can see on the back side where it hit the hooks. I also ordered the hardware kit. I didn't have the bolts, and the OE...

    Anybody collect hot rod magazines? look inside.

    I'm in the same boat. I have 3 totes full of mags, mostly from the early 90's to 04. Mostly Chevy Hi performance, Super Chevy, and Car Craft. I also have some how to build a Camaro books.

    8.1 Vortec VS 383 Stroker VS 6.0 Iron LS

    The 383 would basically be a new rebuilt engine. The stock fuel , and ignition system would work well for the 383. I would add long tube headers. A hydraulic roller cam, carb, and good dual plane intake. If you could afford a set of heads, I would do that also. The 6.0's have some issues...

    Remove accessories from this old truck?

    I would leave them on. It's getting difficult to find accessories for these old trucks. If you do remove them keep them or sell them to some one wanting to use them.

    Repopped Fender Badges-where to buy quality badges?

    I bought the cab corner bow tie trim from LMC. It was from GM restoration. I'm guessing the fender emblems are from GM also due to the price. They are licensed products. So LMC , or GM resto.

    Transmission Upgrade?

    Agree with your statement. I had issues with the 4l60E in my Camaro. The computer would struggle to get the shift points right at the drag strip. I contacted Rossler transmissions. I sent him the tranny and they put a vacuum control module on it. Problem solved. They might do it for the 80E's...
