    Well I'm phukd. Th400 lost 3rd

    Good start! I'm probably not too terribly far behind you on a transmission rebuild.

    73 cheyenne super 10 advice with a terrible engine swap.

    You need to plug that large vacuum port on the front of the carburetor and I would go for one of the thick carb to intake gaskets. They're about a 1/4" thick or so and would help to keep the carb from heating up too much. Something like this...

    C10 lift options?

    If you're talking about tires then yes, but not by much... Conventional tire designation like xxx-xxRxx describes the dimensions of the tire. The first number is the width of the tread in millimeters. The second number is the sidewall height as a percentage of the tread width. And the...

    73 c20 Suspension replacement.

    Body bushings will go a long way to decreasing the amount of squeaks you experience if they've never been replaced before.

    C10 lift options?

    I thought about lifting mine years ago, but not really all that feasible. So, I just went with slightly bigger tires and kept the stock suspension height. The 31x10.50R15s really look at home in the wheel wells and gave me roughly an inch on ride height. I've also debated on going to...

    Backfire at WOT

    I want to say that a backfire through the exhaust would be a super rich condition. May have gotten a little too much juice from the accelerator pump when you goosed it.

    Wood Grain Vinyl Side Paneling?

    It was vinyl... It's all faded from the sun, but the color kinda comes back if I rub oil into it. :)

    Wood Grain Vinyl Side Paneling?

    Mine came with that from the factory... Still on the fence whether or not I want to add it back when I finally take care of the rust and repaint.

    1982 to 1976 box swap

    Ditto... I bolted an 80's box to my '73 and it all matched up.

    dropping gas tanks?

    Slow and easy.... I'd the undo the filler neck, unbolt the brackets from the frame, and drop it down slowly with a floor jack. Watch the hoses, sometimes they don't have much slack in 'em. Other than that, not much to worry about.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Took a friend of mine and his son out for a ride last weekend. Fun as hell seeing the grins on their faces during the ride. Although, romping on it as hard as I was, I think that third gear is slipping under extreme load/power. Should probably start planning for a rebuild here eventually.

    Front Bed Panel Removal

    Bed sides definitely need to be spread apart to get the rear panel out. To get them spread apart far enough though would probably require most of the bolts to be removed from the sides.

    Building my own gantry...

    2x6s would probably work... I had used a 2x10 or 2x12 if I remember correctly to lift a BBC off a trailer once many moons ago using a couple of chains and a come-along.

    Points vs HEI vs WHAT?

    Entirely possible for it to die at any point/time... The modules are heat sensitive and if it overheats then it's just a matter of time before it just conks out. If you replace it, then make sure you clean off the mounting pad real good and put some new heat transfer paste back on it before...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Finally got around to diagnosing an issue the ol' girl had with surging, backfiring, and generally just not running right. Turns out she just needed a really good tune up for the most part. :)

    Quadrajet for Holley swap

    I'm with Georgeb on this... I'm still learning about and tuning my Quadrajet, but it's definitely a good carb. If you think you can do the work yourself then I'd buy something like "How to Rebuild and Modify Rochester Quadrajet Carburetors" by Cliff Ruggles. That book has a lot to offer...
