    Spare Tire Carrier Option?

    This is where its at ATM. Gotta get the extension rod welded on, then painted and hung. Next up will be how to secure the rear. There are two 2-1/2" square 'loops' on the back of the rack. Was thinking either a gravity latch type of setup or maybe mounting 2 more square 'loops' to the truck...

    Spare Tire Carrier Option?

    I'm about to have the cage and brackets powder coated and mounted for good. There is plenty of room for the exhaust over the outsides of the axle - with some clever routing. Just cant see it from the angles shown in this thread.

    Driver quality front chrome bumpers - GONE

    Anyone know how the new bumpers compare to OE? If there was a huge difference, I'd keep one of these and have it replated. Would have to find a reputable shop within a reasonable distance...sooooo.....probably not happening anyways. At least one is going to scrap in 2 weeks.

    Careful buying online- Camaro 1979

    I have never bought any special car with the belief it wasn't a polished turd. Usually takes me about 6 months and $10k to have the car they described in the ad.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    More idiocracy......a continuation of this screwball idea of a hinged spare tire carrier. This is all a very rough mock-up. Getting it lined up. The bracket where the solid rear brake line meets the flex one on the axle has 2 holes. Opened up just a tad, they work well for the hinge on my...

    Factory Rubber Cab Mounts or Polyurethane?

    I think I'm already there (Ferrari $) in the loss column. I'm spent out.

    Factory Rubber Cab Mounts or Polyurethane?

    I'll have to look to see where I did get them (LMC maybe?). Took me awhile to find them - they were out of stock - but I did and they were great quality.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    More idiocracy...... https://www.gmsquarebody.com/threads/what-have-you-done-to-your-square-lately.3435/post-847868 So I got a response from Draw Tite's tech yesterday about my modding the hitch to fit the full sized spare. They said it would be fine for 'anything I wanted to haul within the...

    Driver quality front chrome bumpers - GONE

    I have 2 clean driver quality front bumpers for sale. One is from an 86 - was in a warehouse on a mechanics lien'd Suburban for 30 yrs. The other was my 85's original. Chrome is good/very good. No visible dents or rust. Asking $75/OBO ea. I'm in NW OH / SE MI so could meet somewhere within...

    Factory Rubber Cab Mounts or Polyurethane?

    When I pulled the original rubber mounts out of my 85, they were in excellent shape, so went rubber this round too. Like the ride much better. Knew a guy who designed suspension components for Eibach 30 yrs ago. Used to say to use poly when locating (like a torque rod) but rubber for ride or wear.

    If my truck was done, I'd be there for sure. My sister in law lives about 20 min from there.

    Truck Parts Superstore Scam?

    Did you use a credit card? If so, I'd have a chat with the bank and get the 100% back you're due.

    USA1 Industries

    I went through that. When it had been long enough that my window to contest anything was threatened, I canceled the order then immediately re-ordered it. When it cycled to the point of cancelling it a 2nd time, I went elsewhere. The way that place is run is like saying The Andy Griffith Show...

    I need a cab corner rocker pic.

    My guess is factory. I've seen alot of the Ziebart cars around (rotted in the yards - lol) and these aren't the same plugs. This truck was from Oregon and there wasn't a drop of undercoating anywhere on it. I intended on pulling the plugs and going nuts with POR 15 or the like inside it til it...

    Yep. Thats the backside view of the corner from underneath.

    I need a cab corner rocker pic.

    Your request made me think of something.....this cab is rust free and all original. I'm waiting to get it blasted again (zinc-phosphate has to come off 100%) and once I do, I thought about taking about 35-50 pics of every seam and weld - for future reference.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Had multiple delays to get my cab in paint so been tweaking this idea of using a Benz Sprinter van's tire carrier for my spare. Had the tire mounted to the rim for accurate size/weight. All the chains is how its suspended while making a jig that centers it where it needs to be. The class 5 hitch...

    POR 15 Hi Temp coating....Fail!

    Never messed with their high temp stuff as I never had much luck with any paints claiming crazy temps, but I used the manifold gray on cast iron manifolds alot. Only way I could keep it on was to THOROUGHLY stir the sht, THOROUGHLY sandblast the manifold, then THOROUGHLY wipe it down with a...

    What's the good AC compressor these days?

    Sanden. They are made in Japan or USA. If you have the dreaded R4 compressor, there is a couple good threads here about converting it to the Sanden style. Will need a new accumulator as well. Whats your condenser (radiator looking thing) like? For what they cost, I'm partial to replacing it as...
