    What have you done to your square lately??

    Yup. Plastic tank on burb radiator cracked a few years ago; it was a pinhole leak for a year or so, then one weekend it got really bad. So off to the radiator shop. I could have easily replaced it, but my work schedule wouldn't let me have a day to do it. So I paid someone and had the truck back...

    Cruisin the Coast 2024

    I dunno...I have a long bed crew cab and there's never enough space for everything to go in the cab without something ending up on my lap(riding shotgun) or on the back row floorboard. I gotta get a topper and then it'll be like having a one ton Burb.

    Those wheels are actually factory on the GMT 800(1999-2007) trucks, but a lot of people run them on the 400s because they are a bit lighter than the steel wheels. I'll be among that bunch as soon as I find a set I can afford, when I have the $$. And personally I prefer the 400 style 8 lug cap as...

    Daughters ‘87 needs to ride smooth.

    My one ton crew cab has E rated 245/75R16 tires, Michelin on the rear and BFG commercial T/As on the front. I run 45 in the front and 70 in the rear; I don't haul loads a lot but don't want to have to air up before loading. With a minimal load in back(~100-200#) it rides like a truck. One of the...

    Interesting, thanks for the information! Definitely something to consider.

    Wipe on clearcoat you say? Tell me more. I have a crew cab with terrible paint on hood and roof, would like to improve it a bit once it's cooler weather.

    Air Cleaner Stud

    Man even NOS or stainless steel should be cheaper than that....1/4-20 threaded rod, usually comes in a foot long stick, just cut to measure.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Teams getting into the postseason for several years in a row...that can make teams complacent. Just saw the Astros drop two to the Tigers; they haven't been in October baseball for ten years, we have been for eight straight seasons. Oh well, were we in the playoffs, my brother's Wednesday night...

    2 post shop lift

    Walmart used to mandate bump caps (kind of a mini hard hat) for their auto techs when doing under car work. Don't know if they still do....

    2 post shop lift

    The original location of our parts store had a two bay shop behind the showroom, between it and the warehouse. First bay had a center post lift, that probably dated from 1960-61 when the building was constructed. We used it occasionally to work on under car stuff; one time was the headers and...

    Engine Paint Color Question

    I want to say that our '84 Burb had a blue engine. I know the '90 had a black one; both 350s. I think the '79 had a black one, but it had a Target Master engine so it was whatever color those came in the '80s....

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Dad did a bolt and jam nut setup on the positive cable on our OBS Burb. I need to do that with the crew cab, it's tried to strand us yesterday cause it was loose. I keep a 5/16" gear wrench in the passenger side door pocket for that purpose!

    New guy with a '78 'burb

    Looks a lot like the inside of the '79 Chevy Burb we had for many years. Ours had factory buckets and console in front, those were comfortable seats (but Mom made covers for them because vinyl is not so nice in the summer!). You will want to get the cover back on the tailgate to cover the window...

    Let’s see your memorabilia?!

    I guess if you're not near a big city like Jackson or Mobile/Gulfport....we get spoiled here in the greater Houston area because there is so much available. Sometimes you might have to drive across town though and that can be interesting.

    Let’s see your memorabilia?!

    Aamco 3000? I cut many a drum and rotor on the one we had. Took three of us to get it out the door and into a pickup, when we closed the parts store. I used it on our personal fleet for many years after that, till we sold it a few years ago. We had a starter and alternator tester too, same guy...
