New to the square body scene
Welcome from Texas! As others have said, rebuild your current carb. If it's original and a Quadrajet, they aren't that difficult to rebuild. I got a kit from quadrajet power that included everything and they have videos on how to rebuild so you can follow on step by step easily. I'm also a...- carfanatic63

tailgate/cab band trim repair
I know the tailgate panel is anodized so polishing won't work unless you remove the anodization. I used a cheap spray in oven cleaner, let it sit for a minute, then brushed it with steel wool. I clear coated afterwards and mine is holding up fine. No clue on removing dents. I'm not a body man...- carfanatic63

Do the magnaflow straight through mufflers count as glasspacks? If so, I've had them on my truck for a decade and love them. The sound matches the era of these trucks so well.- carfanatic63

It's a new switch. Is there a way to test it? When filling it up, it does cycle until it has more freon. Then it freezes up at the expansion valve but remains cool (not remotely cold) on the drier. Pressures also tend to be high in high side relative to where it should be compared to low side- carfanatic63

Finished installing fender badges and dash badge. Officially showing GMC rep now! Also bonus pic of engine. Still struggling with AC freon not flowing through orifice tube properly and freezing up. May just give up and take it to a shop at some point. Will be the first time this truck sees a...- carfanatic63

Has anyone used an Edelbrock Rochester Quadrajet carburetor?
I've been using an edlebrock quadrajet 1901 for nearly a decade. Runs fantastic. Like all quadrajets, you need to fine tune a little bit for your application but once you have it set up, you are golden.- carfanatic63

That's cool! Whenever I swap to the 70s front end, guess this could help fund it. I'll post a pick this afternoon of it on the truck. Got it mounted yesterday but it's in the garage so I couldn't get a good picture- carfanatic63

What year is it exactly? '84? I'm just curious since I've got a 76 with an 80s front clip. Figured this would hold me over until I do a front end swap in the future.- carfanatic63

1970s Rally wheel center cap insert decal
I had no clue the 77's had brown decals. 77 parts seem to always be special. I do have a set of black oem ones I'll be selling here soon. Swapping mine to GMC as I finally got the parts to do so- carfanatic63
