    What have you done to your square lately??

    I got rambunctious. I'm presently "On leave" from my classic repair shop waiting for surgery and kinda going buggy wandering around the house. So I brought Ralph in for motor mounts, that I have had sitting on the shelf since the clutch job. My OTC stinger engine support, that sits on both...

    LMC Parts

    Nothing is made in America any more. Lmc shipping is pricey for small orders. Napa is the same stuff too, with no shipping if you get at the store. Avoid cardone brake parts.

    Wiper washer upgrade and repairs

    I'm about to replace the single speed wiper motor/washer pump due to pump problems. Now the washers run whenever the wipers are on. I'm thinking I'm going to replace the motor, and maybe the switch too to upgrade to dual speed wipers. Can I just replace the switch in the dash, and the motor pump...

    Old truck Patina

    This 88 Suburban (big Red) was my truck back in the early 2000's I bought it in perfect garage kept condition from its original owner. I dragged that (painted) Airstream across America behind it. It had no patina when I bought it. But, after hailstorms in Ohio, and the third owner who had its...

    Old truck Patina

    In my humble opinion, with old trucks especially, its more important they run than look new. Mine runs and drives perfectly. Well, for an old truck..

    Green Gas Monkey Wrecked Truck being rebuilt.

    I wouldn't want to debug this truck when they get it running.

    Old truck Patina

    Just as an idea, with our trucks being classics. Some are perfect, and others are not. For the "Nots", how about some examples of our trucks "Patina". Not necessarily rat rod made up patina (clear coat, oil jobs, etc.) but signs of life. I offer a few examples of my truck, Ralph. My favorite is...

    Opinions please on possible use for zinc oil additive

    Don't use an additive. Use High zinc oil in any flat tappet engine, so that should apply to all of our squares. I use Penn grade brand. Its black and white people.

    Bye Bye Optima

    I have the second Optima in my wife's honda. The first lasted 10 years. She wanted me to put the same battery in, and I did, but, I have my concerns it won't last. Will report failure when it does.

    Yup!

    Can I fix this by cutting out and only replacing outer?

    What I did not realize as the inside of the bedside is sold integral with the outside! Like I said. If you cannot fix a chevy square body, you should sell your tools.

    Somebody help a newbie!

    I’d do the compression test first! If it’s bad, save your money. You can look at the plugs too and get a good picture before buying any parts

    Anyone running a Muncie/ Saginaw?

    Does this help?

    Help identifying this transmission, and an OD 4 speed to replace it.

    I'd like some help identifying this tranny (3 speed from an 81/6 cylinder) and some ideas on available replacements for it. I would like a 4 speed with a highway OD 4th gear. Hopefully, I can still use my hurst shifter and same hole in floor, but, I can adapt.. I know this is a saginaw, but...

    Green Gas Monkey Wrecked Truck being rebuilt.

    I watched as much as I could of this Alex rebuilds series on the c10 and gave up. He just was kinda clueless. "Please every body comment and tell me what I'm doing wrong.." Starting over on a well used truck would have been much better, if he had a clue. I do what I can, not what I can't. How...

    Thanks all, I got what I need. This is a great place to help plan a project, among other things..

    Can I fix this by cutting out and only replacing outer?

    Oh, and maybe a set of 15" rally wheels, eventually. I'm now on a fixed income..

    Can I fix this by cutting out and only replacing outer?

    As you can tell, I'm not looking for pretty, but just capable of using it as a truck. It runs great, has only 80,000 or so miles on it in 42 years (someone stole the dash out of it about 3 years before I bought it from family friends.) The carfax showed all service since new and I could see...

    Can I fix this by cutting out and only replacing outer?

    Thanks all (so far) I tried straightening it last year. No luck that metal was bent way out of ever coming back. The choices I see are welding in a patch panel, replacing the entire panel, or a bed swap. This bed is so nice inside (and I have a crane in the back) that I think I'm going to...
