Front spring question
I’ll put yours and @Ricko1966 suggestion in my back pocket. Those are great ideas. At this point I’m actively practicing walking past it and telling myself “they’re all like that “. My cousin is having our family’s old ‘54 resto-modded in a shop, and their square is the same way in all the...- ChuckN

I’ll run to the hardware store and talk to the guys. They have rows of stuff there. I’m sure they can help me out something together. Thanks!- ChuckN

Front spring question
Good to know. It’s hard to see up in there with the spring still in. I tried to get the lower ball joint out this afternoon, but it won’t pop out seemingly without ruining the ball joint pressed into the tubular LCA. I tried a good amount of heat, all the tricks but it’s really in there. I...- ChuckN

What have you done to your square lately??
As an Edelbrock owner that was initially a fan and now have gone through the process of getting it to work as it should, I won’t dispute that comment. -

Well, if the rig isn’t held together by zip ties, and you don’t have to turn on the heater to activate the fuel pump, you’re doing awright. -

Front spring question
You’re speaking my language. I just got a 3/8” spacer off scamazon, which by all reports means roughly translated .75” correction, and theoretically would be completely level once I get my 165 lb frame in the driver side. I’ll check to make sure the springs are seated all the way into the...- ChuckN

Front spring question
I don’t recall- I know that the lower control arm has a “pocket” for the end of the spring to sit into- I don’t remember the upper perch having the same but can anyone confirm? The reason I’m asking is that my truck after lowering has always had a bit of a 1/2” or so lean toward the driver...- ChuckN

Yep, I’m due. I keep saying I’m gonna put those damn things back on, haha. -

What have you done to your square lately??
Went for a cruise in the country, checked the local stores for die casts. Then stopped by my buddy’s house for a game of pool and some metal on the hifi. While I was there he took a roundabout reproduction photo of me, like my dad and his ‘vette. After he passed, we couldn’t find his old felt... -

What would you pay for this truck?
Great photo and backdrop. Climbed Liberty Ridge in ‘05, I miss my days on Rainier. The truck takes the cake tho.- ChuckN

What have you done to your square lately??
Yesterday was such a nice day that I took a cruise out in the county, and stopped by Heavy Metal Custom Shop in town. The Edelbrock tuning had been going ok, but it was rich at the top end at WOT. Like…filthy pig rich, 10.7-10.8 on the AFR and would start to choke itself out. So when I stopped... -
77 K10 - what should I be asking for?
I would be remiss to not ask for pictures. IMHO (and I don’t necessarily agree with this) that many times curb appeal rules the day over awesome mechanical work. I will say that that is an impressive list of upgrades tho. -
What have you done to your square lately??
Over the weekend, I replaced the ignition module with a Napa Echlin, since I’d read here many times that aftermarket “high output “ were junk. Figured I’d put the aftermarket one in the glovebox and put the other one in since I’d heard so many good things. Then I descended into the 7th circle... -

Searching for My Dad's 1979 Chevy Suburban
I wouldn’t dispute that, but I’ll be so bold as to say that in all of our trucks, the wiring harnesses are 40-50 years old. At some point it becomes a reasonable thing to start over with a new harness. It does appear that these harnesses do stand up to the test of time, but sooner or later will...- ChuckN

Searching for My Dad's 1979 Chevy Suburban
The benefit of new harnesses (not having an opinion one way or another on what the OP should do) is that typically each wire is marked every foot or so so it is easy to stay organized and know exactly what is going on. The added benefit is that by the time you have done the truck from front to...- ChuckN

What have you done to your square lately??
Got a load of garden boxes from Lowe’s to build for the wife. Took her around town for a cruise. Then back to the garage while I work in the yard. -

Think it’s about time I switched back to the rallies for a bit, although I love my Halibrands.
