    whats every body using.. looking for a new stereo head unit

    I went to one of my distributors this week to look into stereo gear and ended up with all Kenwood speakers and stereo. I saw a single din stereo with a touchscreen and wireless CarPlay and android auto. The thing was super cheap and they sell a ton of them. I almost went with it for my burb but...

    Buying a new square...C60 dump truck!

    Hey everyone, I’m starting a new project and am needing some direction. I’m purchasing a 1978 C60 dump truck and have some fun plans for a conversion to a large “oversized” square body. I’m planning on using the vehicle for pulling a trailer and or promotional advertisement for my business...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    I picked up my new QA1 lowered coilover 4 link kit for the rear this morning! Front coilover with drop spindles, uppers and lowers will be here in a couple weeks. Can’t wait to get her dropped down with some killer suspension! Next project will be wheels and tires!

    Oil Pressure Gauge Problems

    Awesome! I'll look for that. I'll ask the guys there for a same thread sized 45 degree adapter. I think it'll be fine once installed. Thanks AG!

    Oil Pressure Gauge Problems

    Ok, thanks for the info guys. The first part I bought was apparently the right part because it was HUGE and I would have had to lift the distributor up some to make room for the unit. What has everyone done in that circumstance? It looks like there is enough clearance once the distributor is...

    Oil Pressure Gauge Problems

    I have a similar situation. Just swapped my 77 cluster with one from a 78 so I could use the tach. My 77 had a mechanical oil pressure gauge and hard line but the 78 has an electric version. I re-pinned my wiring harness and since I had to run a new wire, I made sure it was pinned correctly. I...

    Cluster Interchange Question

    Wow! Tons of good info. Thanks a lot! I need to check the tach and make sure it works before I change my harness and go all in. That would be horrible if it didn’t work after all this work. [emoji37]

    Cluster Interchange Question

    Yes, both have voltmeters. I will for sure have to re-pin. Here are some comparison pics of the wiring that I did just to make sure the wires will be pinned correctly. Couple more questions though... How do I go about checking the gauges to make sure they are the same? My original...

    Cluster Interchange Question

    I’ll refer to your post while doing more research. The existing cluster has the brake light in the lower left corner, big fuel gauge on right and oil line for oil pressure. New cluster has fuel in lower left, large tach on right and electrical oil sending unit. I cleaned up both assemblies last...

    Cluster Interchange Question

    I know this is an old thread but I’ve been digging and haven’t found the exact answers I’m needing. I have a 77 with a standard cluster but purchased a used 78 cluster with a tach. Oil sending unit is different and the board is as well. If I swap the board, gauges and lighting, what else do I...

    Wheel choices/help me decide

    Middle or bottom. Classic with the middle, more match for your truck on the bottom

    What have you done to your square lately??

    The top is the original insert, the second came off of the panel in the picture. I bought them because they weren’t all rotten like my original ones. I’ve got the wood insert between the passenger ac vents and I didn’t want the chrome in the doors. I bought some wood grain vinyl from amazon for...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    I’m getting the truck all dialed in (as much as possible at least) to get ready for GoodGuys and Dino’s this weekend. I got my door panels almost put back together, painted 2 wheels and cleaned all the center caps. Still got a ways to go!!
