    I just won a 1985 1 ton C/K Four door from the auction. going to pick it up next week ill post pics. Are there any four door square body guys on here?

    Dad's was deluxe 2-tone & had the upper & lower molding. I have those to put back on it. He wanted the newer plastic junk instead of the metal "racetrack" put on. Here it is in the early 80's.

    He ordered that way. He complained because the hood was supposed to be tan with the side striped & it didn't come that way. I had it painted for him over 20 years ago & had the hood tan for him. Scottsdale with AC & tilt, manual trans & 350 engine. Rubber floor & crank windows but does have...

    Oh yeah. He has a '91 like the one I have here. Maybe I'll reach out to him before I begin slicin' & dicin'. HS

    With all that I already have to do, now I've let my family talk me into the next build. I have all the pieces but they certainly are not in all the right places. Have any of you folks ever done a full-top conversion on a K5 before? Share some info please if you have.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    I pulled the bed from my $100 78 K10. We're using the bed floor & wheel houses on my 76 K10 that I gave to my son. I'm gonna set the cab on the SB K10 chassis that I bought a couple weeks ago. That's another project in itself. The 78 K25 GMC is awesome now that it has power steering too. A fella...

    That's the way the General should have built the M1009...in my most humble opinion. Looks great! HS

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Well, it's done. Aftermarket p/s bracket, 95 Dakota 2.5 pump, pressure hose from a 76 & brake booster vacuum feed nipple for return. The cobbled mess works! Have Steering

    NP203 question

    203 are fickle. I've had some that you can drive with manual hubs unlocked & then some must be locked. My 76 K10 was one that could drive unlocked. My son toasted the TH350 & we swapped the trans & case from a 75 & it will not move without the hubs locked now. It's also a noisy case so we're...

    Cracks in transfer case

    The TH400 and SM465 share the same large output shaft. The TH350 is smaller and while you are rebuilding your case that would be an excellent time to swap the input planetary for use on the TH400. I'm not a "hoarder" but there is not much that I throw out; it has to be totally useless for it to...

    The 4 bolt main LIE !!! Or is it???

    The one that he used for an example had the stove-bolt style cannister that was actually bolted to the water outlet on the front of the engine. I have never noticed that before but again the 283 replaced the 265 in 1956 as far as what I've read. The 265 had a very short run. The older folks...

    The 4 bolt main LIE !!! Or is it???

    I've had my hands on many older vehicles and wrenched on a bunch of old and odd stuff. I was watching Ed Smith the other evening and he was talking about the 265 and how it was like the stove-bolt sixes with no oil filter. I have never noticed this and hadn't thought about it either. I remember...

    Tire size or possible lift recommendations for the 79’ K30

    Here is my 85 D30 with 3.5" Superlift and 37 12.50 16.5's and again with 36 13.50 16.5 IROk's on 8" wheels. There was a bit of tire scrub occasionally with the IROK's as you may probably see I changed the cab and fenders at that stage in the truck's life and the fenders were not cut. There is...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    The school year is winding down and it is super-busy with all the meetings and such with the graduating class. I have not been able to do much wrenching either due to the statewide backlog of Driver's Ed instructors and bus drivers keeping me busy in what would ordinarily be my afternoons off. I...

    The 4 bolt main LIE !!! Or is it???

    Have any of you folks seen @BarryTsGarage on YT? He has been doing "Ask Ed" episodes and I have found it to be both informative and entertaining. The experience and season of Ed Smith along with his personality and demeanor make it worth my half hour to watch. He has spoken about the 301 and...

    Probably for the wiper switch illumination. The pic isn't the best so it's hard to tell. HS
