Need to replace rubber fuel lines on top of both tanks….
I lifted the box by putting a 4”x4” post between the joists of the garage and wrapped a chain round it. Hooked a come along to Strapes on four corners and a 2x4 across the back so sides don’t pull in. Did this as a one man dance. Worked good.- WesN

Whatcha do with that...?
Just about everything I have changed on my 81 which I bought new I keep the original parts. One example is I have the complete exhaust from manifolds to the muffler and dual tail pipes that exited behind the right rear tire. Was barely a year old when I went to headers and true duals. -
What have you done to your square lately??

Quadrajet Filter Spring
Measure the bore in the carb and measure the fuel line nut depth where the filter goes and you can calculate how much room you have for a filter and spring. Side note I have found that some filters that have the rubber check valve that they are made with way way smaller ports than the GM...- WesN

Fixing large door/cab gap.
In the 90’s GM had a clearance sale on Square body parts and I purchased two new doors for $90 each. After installing I found the top and a pillar gaps large and have never been able to adjust the gap out. I believe the parts sell off was due to the doors being the end of a run and the quality...- WesN

Seat recovering
The LMC seat cover is awesome, looks just like original. Seat was saggy in the left front corner and I found the frame had broken and would bend down and a little welding fix that up. -
Hanging I-Beam from ceiling joists
I laid a 4x4 across 8ft of rafters and put a chain hanging from the middle. Had no issues lifting the box off and putting back on by my self. Remember to brace the tailgate opening so as to not allow the sides to bend in. -

Door gap
l bought two doors from GM many years ago when they were cleaning out their warehouse stock. GM doors and the fit is a give and take, line up the bottom and the side nice and the top is off. I found that the door to rocker, door to fender and door to cab back have to line up to look good and the... -
Mirror correct for ‘81?
If you want to really see behind you get so of the mirrors they put on some Ram trucks, they stick out about 2’ on each side. I have never sat in one but I think you might be able to read the rear license plate hahaha they are ugly.
