Hello from Vancouver, WA / Portland, OR
Welcome. If you're every hunting for a part, there's a guy just to the North of you, in Battleground, who has acres of squares. That's his business, and I've gotten a couple things from him. Nice local resource to have. Chad the man/Squarebodyranch I think it is? I found him on facebook.- Girth

Harbor Freight Table and carts
Harbor Freight has really been upping their game the last few years. I have one of their older service carts in my little shop. Works, but the drawer slides suck. lol I have one of their 52in? Series 2 boxes as my toolbox at work, with their side box added. GREAT toolbox for the money. Got it on... -
Exterior moldings
Maybe not an issue with trim, or as much of an issue, but the new hood I got from AMD, the shipping charge made sense. They packaged the hell out of that thing. Twice. Two boxes, the inner isolated from the outer. I still opened the box while the truck driver that delivered it was there so I...- Girth

K5 almost killed me brakes to the floor
Sounds like it's too late, you already swapped the master cylinder...... but don't be like me. I replaced the leaking master on the wife's Burb with a NAPA part. This was before I had heat in my shop, and I was in a rush. I took one look at it, cursed lousy replacement parts these days, and... -
Turn signal switch
Thinking about it, double check your brake switch. Same filaments used for hazards I think? An issue there could cause problems too. I’d start with the plug on that turn signal switch though, verifying you got it wired right. Maybe someone has a pinout/wiring diagram handy?- Girth

Turn signal switch
Hopefully you didn't put the wheel back on already, that's frustrating. Had a similar issue with my CJ5. (Saginaw column, fun mix of GM parts in there, the turn signal switch included) Granted, it sounds like you could possibly have some wiring issues, having spiced it? Anyways..... there was...- Girth

1976 C30 dump - wheel cylinder
Should be able to. Every job is a broken bolt away from a weekend of pain though. lol I think they're studs, pressed through the axle housing? Haven't gotten there yet with my D70. Soaking those nuts and the bolt for the wheel cyl with the hope I don't swear as much later. Have you had your...- Girth

1976 C30 dump - wheel cylinder
No idea what year it is, came out of a round headlight square, (no telling though) but the DRW D70 thats in my shop mostly torn down...... ya gotta yank the axles and Hub/Drum assembly anyways, if you wanna get to the wheel cylinder. Your drums slide off, separate from the hub? Oh, and welcome...- Girth

Barn Door Alignment?
Oh, and what they heck. Pic is posted elsewhere here, but here she is in RED. Truck is more together currently (grill/all new lights, trim, handles, mirrors etc), but still a long way to go. Wife is cranky she hasn't gotten to drive her truck in a few months, but she's not the one that gotta...- Girth

Barn Door Alignment?
YUP... they came with a massive order of bits and bobs a while ago. I'm still slowly picking away at this truck. It's turned into a PROJECT, since my neurosis won't let me leave stuff alone as I put it back together. Apparently if you give LMC enough money though, they send you a handwritten...- Girth

LMC headlights/harness kinda wonky
Installed LMC's "Custom Dual 165mm" headlights and their "Heavy-Duty" harness (PN 36-3581) this afternoon. The new lights ARE a vast improvement, that's for sure. They don't work right though. :rolleyes: On "Low" as far as the truck is concerned (1984 C10 by the way), just the upper lights are...- Girth

2001 Silverado advice
I'll start this the long winded way. lol Six or seven years ago, we were looking at moving out of state. Put the house up for sale and were in the process of moving in with the father in law short term. Two days after the house listed, the wife's '04 Burb ate the cam. SO..... pulled the 5.3 to...- Girth

Show your daily driver
Posted the pic before, but first time seeing this thread. Cheap little pickup is still my daily, and I love it. :) Way more enjoyable than the payment on the brand new Subaru I sold back to the dealership.- Girth

What have you done to your square lately??
Is it just me, or does that hose look split? Between the last two clamps? Kinda looks like the 3rd might have cut it too? Right above the header collector..... well, you'll smell it for sure if she leaks. lol -
What have you done to your square lately??
Probably the last nice weekend of the year, so got the important part done just in time. Paint went on last night. Now I get to learn how to cut and buff. (Tamco single stage) She looks decent from 20ft away. lol A painter I am not though. Good lord is there a lot of surface area on a Burb...
