What have you done to your square lately??
Yesterday I switched out the ignition module since it was old, and wanted to try a more “aggressive “ one from Summit. Yeah, probably didn’t make a difference. Cleaned up the battery cable routing where it was just starting to rub a tad. Oh, and disassembled the Edelbrock fuel filter to check... -
Loss of e-brake after driving on rough roads
You ain’t joking! In Michigan, unless you used them EVERY DAY it was common practice to never ever touch them because good luck after that. -

1972 GMC C10
Well, project update with pics. We went back out to the county and picked up where we left off. We took out the spark plugs after taking out the weird heat shields that bolt to the frame. Then we soaked the cylinders with Aerokroil. True to my nature, the straw popped off the nozzle and...- ChuckN

Loss of e-brake after driving on rough roads
A quick search revealed this, should get you some kind of confirmation. -
Loss of e-brake after driving on rough roads
So, in remembering my own, I know it’s a maze of hooks that slot into the frame and guide the cables while keeping some semblance of tension on them. It’s my thought that there was a little slack in your system, allowing one to bounce or rattle out of the frame, and that would explain why you... -
What have you done to your square lately??
Got the TransGo finished up today. Little bit of an unforeseen battle- the 2/3 plug was stuck, so it took me a while to figure it out. Other than that, pretty smooth sailing. I didn’t take a ton of pictures, as I was covered in ATF much of the time. The drain plug pan is installed, and I used a... -

Those would be on my short list too. That’ll look the part, especially with the sidepipes. @Grit dog -
1972 GMC C10
That’s what I thought! We got it hooked up and rolling toward the barn, and I had thought that I didn’t want to hit the brakes and lock them up. Well, the guy stopped a little too quickly so I instinctively hit the brakes, and they kinda worked. More importantly, they didn’t do the...- ChuckN

1972 GMC C10
Helping my buddy get this thing out of a barn. I’ll post some pics later- forgot to take some when we were out in the county. As soon as we got out there we went to work and turned tail after we’d gotten soaked by the rain (getting it back in the barn). He’d moved it out temporarily for a family...- ChuckN

Stock 1976 C10 - Need Wheel/Tire size help!
Yeah, they’re pretty far down the list of things that I’ll get. I’m honestly curious about the weight of these things- the stock rallies are like rocks. I’d like to have something a bit bigger AND lighter.- ChuckN

TH400 Information Thread
@DoubleDingo sorry if it’s not exactly applicable, but after much research seems like TransGo is a reputable kit, but that’s in the realm of the TH350. Nick may have a different idea- he has been helping me a lot with my TransGo install.- ChuckN

What have you done to your square lately??
Today, finally got the truck up on stands to drop the pan and start on the Transgo shift kit. Figured it was time anyway since I’ve roughly 1000 or more miles on her now and good to do a service after break-in. Wish I hadn’t seen what I’ve seen, and at the same time glad I dropped it when I... -

Soon to be new member…
Yeah, I saw another one up there too BTW. Guy had a rare 4x4 81-82 longed stepside north of the border at the truck crossing right on the main drag. I’d say that picture you found as an example is perfect. Black steelies with dog dish caps. Nice find! Looks a good solid truck.- ChuckN

Best Flowmaster
Hey hey HEY!!!!Enough of this trash talk! (I only say this because I have them on my truck so they can’t suck right?):anitoof: No, Flowmasters have that old school pop-can sound. I like it, but it’s not for everyone. I have 40s on 2.5” exhaust with 350 and headers, and they end before the...- ChuckN

Most affordable shipping for body panels?
Good to know. For now, I’m just keeping an eye out for a good cab to get the pinch metal under the windshield at the corners. Even then, it’s not a huge deal. Both corners at the bottom that have rot are only a couple inches long- any experienced body shop dude should be able to fabricate it...- ChuckN

Most affordable shipping for body panels?
Thanks for that offer! Doors are pretty easy to come by, even if I have to drive a couple hours. Shipping would be a killer. Appreciate it though, bud! Mostly I’m just looking for a good cab to harvest bits of metal under the windshield at the corners where there’s rust. That and some earlier...- ChuckN

Most affordable shipping for body panels?
So, the hood that came with mine was beat up, twisted and had two dents in the front lip that were nasty, and because of the layers of metal weren’t accessible to bump out. So I bought another off a GMC work truck, and it looked good in the bright summer sun, but then I realized it had all sorts...- ChuckN

Most affordable shipping for body panels?
That’s cool that those guys are still doing that. About thirty years ago, I was looking for a hatchback for my ‘76 Nova when I had thought I would salvage it, and had a parts hunter bring be one up from the south. I paid a good price because he had a ton of other (really cool) parts in the...- ChuckN

Most affordable shipping for body panels?
Good call, I was going to try to hit the Monroe swap meet this year but ended up working on Saturday when all the action happens. Was the same last year but went on the Sunday and it wasn’t worth a damn. Seems like there’s much more activity down towards the Seattle/Olympia/Puyallup area than up...- ChuckN
