    What have you done to your square lately??

    Bumper is on just chipping away hoping to get a drive in before the salt flies. The bed still needs wood put in it before I can put the rear back together.

    Stepside wood opinions?

    Nothing is bolted in or cut yet just got the rough cut lumber tossed in the bed to get an idea what I'm working with, so It'll darken up after it gets coated. I know this stuff is some hard wood to work with and I planned on using a table saw to hog out the groves for the strips because I don't...

    Stepside wood opinions?

    Hey guys I'm cutting my own wood for my stepside and I can't figure out what I should do with the straps that go in the center. I can't decide whether or not I want to run the strips above the wood or flush with the wood. I can do either but I'm using a black walnut because I got a pretty good...

    As long as the paint covers and shines a bit in the rain it'll be good enough for me

    What have you done to your square lately??

    It's my first time painting, bought a tarp car port, some lights and a heater. Just making it happen, it won't be a show winner but pull in a cars and coffee after picking up some block and wood that's all I need. Keeping the rust off and getting it one color the best I can and I'll be smiling...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Shot epoxy on my body work/bare metal today next up is some high build primer. I'm probably doing this completely wrong but I drive it so I'm looking for the old can it look good from across the home depot parking lot or riding by 35mph. This is the closest its looked to one color since the 6+...

    Rear Bumper difference?

    Anyone know of using an s10 truck/blazer bumper for the back? I know some of them have a similar style impact strip and are probably real close to the width of a stepside bed. Figure that's my next best option besides running just a regular stepside bumper which I'm not a huge fan of

    Rear Bumper difference?

    Hey guys looking at getting a bumper for my truck and was wondering if a rear fleet side bumper would look weird on a step side? I have a white painted bumper with impact strips on the front of my truck and want the back to match and the only option for the impact strip bumpers are for fleet...

    Gas tank fuel lines for rear tank

    So this is sort of an open idea question. I'm relocating the gas tank on my truck to the back using a blazer fuel tank which I have mostly figured out. The question I'm thinking about is suburbans also have rear tanks so realistically could I just buy pre bent suburban lines for the new gas tank...

    How much for my old bed?

    I promise it's not salvageable all the rails are shot thin metal all over holes all over the floor and I went in with the mindset it was too far gone so I ruined alot of the floor's bolt holes it does have a tailgate with it but it has a big dent in the middle from someone dropping a motor on it

    How much for my old bed?

    Hey guys, not sure if this is the right place for this post but I finally got around to unbolting my bed but still have to lift it off. I'm hoping to get something back out of it but I have no idea what to ask. The floor is way shot the salt got to it and I lost about half the floor in rust...

    Fog/driving lights 81-82 bumper

    You could wire it up to turn on with high beams or just a flip switch if you wanted to, I just have a fuse tap on the 5amp headlight fuse to switch on the relay. Because of how low the lights are and how the turn signal housings aren't made to really beam out the light like a headlight does, I...
