Drag Link - Modern Build
OK, so where's your data there Einstein? Let's see proof that your "new tech" idea beats the engineering team at GM. What a thin skinned response to some very mild feedback. If you don't like someone's opinion, don't take it so personal. Deal with it like an adult instead of being such a crybaby.- SK 99

Bought a kid that isn't mine a 1976 Nova...
Sad ending. This was my favorite "non-square" thread on this forum and was looking forward to future updates. Oh well. Thanks for taking all the time to post/update this thread along the way :cheers:- SK 99

What new tools have you got lately?
I love Harbor Freight, but my brand new Bauer impact leaves a little to be desired. Couldn't break a lugnut loose, even with a full charge. I had to borrow @bucket 's Dewalt which did the trick without even breaking a sweat..... -
Batteries
100% agreed. I have never owned an Optima myself, but it seems like every person I know who bought one in the past regretted it. Expensive, overrated junk IMO. I used to think that the "name brand" batteries were the best. Interstate, Die Hard, Exide, Delco, etc. And maybe that was the case in...- SK 99

What did you pay for a square
I paid $8k for my '85 GMC short bed in fall of 2020....... Originally, this was a 305/automatic and was two tone red/white. A few years back it had any and all rust fixed and was repainted black by the previous owner. They also put in a 350 with an SM465, and 3/4 ton axles with 3.73...- SK 99

Flaky CL MF ‘ers….
I think I sold it for $2200. But this was at least five years ago, well before covidflation pricing. There was a lot of rust, it needed a new exhaust, and the air conditioning didn't work. Awesome car though. It had a lot of Impala SS bits........- SK 99

1990 454 SS Pickup
Yeah, so long story short.... There's a local restaurant on a big lot with a ton of grass, ideal for parking hundreds of vehicles. They host weekly Cruise-Ins every Thursday from April 21th thru October 6th, according to their calendar. Oct. 6th is listed as their "end of the year cruise-in...- SK 99

Holy Grail of Squarebodys
I don't have a specific "holy grail" truck, but mine comes close to meeting all of my ideal criteria. It's a shortbed 4x4 with 3/4 ton axles and an SM465. I just wish it had a 454 (it's a 350) and wish it had the 70's front end. Other than that, it's pretty much perfect IMO.... And @bucket...- SK 99

I greatly enjoy reading the details and stories from your career. Your posts are much appreciated :cool: -

100% agreed I probably ignore 90% of the people who respond to my ads when I'm trying to sell something. It's just mind boggling how many stupid people are out there.- SK 99

Flaky CL MF ‘ers….
Years ago, I was selling a '95 Caprice 9C1 on craigslist. Here are the first three responses I received: -A guy who wanted to trade a rusted 90's Ford Explorer with a bad trans, plus a Playstation 2, and a Hi-Point pistol to sweeten the deal -Some weirdo who wanted me to send them a video of a...- SK 99

Daily Drag Racer times
I gave it a shot earlier tonight, and it seems pretty accurate. The car: 2002 Cadillac Escalade 6.0 AWD, 125,330 miles, almost a full tank of 87 unleaded (nearly 20 gallons), zero modifications The conditions: 62* F, dry pavement, no track prep (just an old country road) I didn't really try...- SK 99

Ford Trash Talk Thread lol
When I met my now ex-wife, she had a brand new 2013 Focus sedan. That car drove terrible from day one. I don't know what the deal was with the factory tune trying to help with gas mileage or to protect the glass transmission or what exactly, but when the car would upshift into 2nd and/or 3rd...- SK 99

Show your daily driver
Well if you don't like the headlights on my '89, you definitely won't like them on my '85 :rofl: I love the look of the quad headlights on the GMT400 trucks, and I like them on a square, but I'll admit the later style front end isn't my favorite. I might change it at some point, or I might...- SK 99

Thanks! It's one of my favorite vehicles I've ever owned. '89 4x4 with a TBI 350, SM465, and a lot of rust but it has been a damn good truck. Definitely a keeper. Here's what it looked like when I bought it, I think 2016 maybe.....- SK 99

Pics of said SUV :Big Laugh: '02 Escalade 6.0 LQ9, AWD, I just hit 125k miles. Drives great, everything works. There's rust on the rockers, but 20 years of salty winters will do that. The pearl white paint still shines nice. Even though I drive the Escalade most days, I still drive my...- SK 99

What have you done to your square lately??
Replaced the alternator belt, changed the oil, and drove it around for the first time since last fall. It's running and driving great! And it's a rare sight to see all three of my trucks together since the '85 stays in the garage 99% of the time, so I had to snap a pic... That's my '89... -
BFGoodrich or Cooper?
You are absolutely correct, I bought the tires in 2017, and the replacement tire they gave me last year when the defective tire failed is the "updated" AT3 and looks slightly different than the original.- SK 99

BFGoodrich or Cooper?
I bought a set of Cooper Discoverer AT3's for my '89 pickup a few years ago, and I'm not impressed. The traction on wet pavement is mediocre, the sidewalls are already looking rough (cracking/dry rot and slight bulging in some spots) and I already had to have one replaced because the tread...- SK 99

'73 Chevelle SS Wagon (local find)
I'll stay longer at the show the next time! It sucks I had to leave early. I'm surprised people were second guessing the legitimacy of it being an SS. I guess I understand being skeptical considering how rare and unknown it is, but it's pretty obvious the emblems were original, unless these...- SK 99
