    83 Cruise Control Switch

    Dayum. I was all excited thinking that would look like my '80 with only a simple push button on the end. No dice. :( Free bump, though ! :)

    CHONGO IS DOWN!

    Might just fix the door and patch the cab holes then leave the bed as a "story time starter". "Did I ever tell you fellows about my 79 doing a 100 foot jump ? Just like then, it starts with HOLDMY BEER AND WATCH THIS !".:)

    73-80 Hood Trim

    Goldie (1980 Suburban Sierra Classic) had one. No longer as it broke on one end when they took it off for paint. I can't remember if the 77 had it or not . Chromed plastic, I believe, which is why they break.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Had to reach behind the dash to wiggle the bulb holder for the 1st time since March. :( Dammit- hope this is a weather fluke and not a sign that more work is needed.

    Vintage Gas Door Covers

    Good luck with the cover, and great looking truck. Welcome aboard! :)

    Took her on a 1 hour road trip to my Mom's for Christmas Day breakfast and festivities. Thru the window shot.

    What did you pay for a square

    That one looks great as is ! :)

    What have you done to your square lately??

    More engineering on the shift indicator tonight. Never think to take pics while I am in there, either. But, this will give you an idea of my thoughts. Bent up some plumbers strap thinking it would hold itself in the broken spot of the shift bowl. Great idea, it is a little too thick and...

    What did you pay for a square

    I paid 9800 ( including shipping) in 2017 for something I could not find except on the interweb. Gawd knows how much in to it now, but it has turned into an almost daily driver, so I am getting my use out of my $'s. Day I got it in 2017:

    Bvllsh!t on craigslist.

    For an apparently all original sub 100K miles 77 ? Shieeeeet - if as advertised, grab the checkbook! :Big Laugh: I'd rock it.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Getting the hang of unhanging the brake valve. Shut off engine, pump pedal until it releases, then restart and drive off. I also backed off some of the parking brake cable adjustment I made as despite adjusting the passenger side starwheel out a bit Sunday the drivers side drum still feels...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Had to unhang the brakes again today - apparently it was not the master cylinder causing that but the proportional valve. Which means the new AC Delco master cylinder earlier this month was just more practice. :confused: The pedal literally hung on me at a stop sign this morning- I had to...

    Failed CO emissions-high CO and HC

    For TX I assume you are talking about Antique plates. Goldie wears Classic plates. Safety inspection required every year- a whole 7 bux- and regular yearly tags. No emmissions test for vehicles over 25 years as of this writing, but Harris County is not meeting 2008 ozone standards so who...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Not so much what I did, but what I had done. Science experiment- ever wondered what a high volume oil pump would do on a 126K motor that struggled to get to 30 psi hot at freeway speeds with 10W40 semi syn ? Crappy pic, but if you look closely... :anitoof: Better pic added.

    I’m so smart

    Aftermarket drums dont seem to come with the knock out plugs, so it could be that is the reason for your above examples. The drilled hole and bolts strikes me as a stroke of genius - well played! :waytogo:

    steering column swap

    Not hard, but you have to be sure to disconnect the clamp under the hood on the lower column- 2 15mm nuts probably covered in black anti rust goop from the factory, the transmission linkage under the hood, which is a cotter pin, the steering coupler which is also 15mm and can be tapped down...

    steering column swap

    If they both either have the wiper switch on the dash or on the column should be plug and play. If not, then not sure about wiring to go to & from.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Dropped Goldie off at the transmission shop- TCC quit working. That's where the Rural King battery died about 2 weeks ago, too, but we were able to confirm that it is probably the solenoid in the pan while the old battery died ... Hoping he can do a few other things, too, as the oil burning...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Yellow trim would be my guess - presumably off a 77.

    I’m so smart

    OE drums - at least the 11.15 ones like on Goldie - have a knock out plug that you have to fill once it is out. I have never seen a metal one - only rubber. Interesting!

    Ignition Cylinder / Ignition Switch

    If by standard switch you mean non tilt, you would have to flip the plugs in 180 to install them - you would know. Since you mentioned pivot pins - have you tried adjusting the ignition switch while it is assembled? Did the old tack and sector match the new ? Any possibility the rod is bent ...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    RIP the 5 year old Rural King battery yesterday. :confused: Had to give her a battery charger jump yesterday morning, but started fine at the doctor's office. Drove to the transmission shop as the TCC is not currently working- we are pretty sure the solenoid in the pan is gone. Well, the...

    1980 GMC C-3500

    Those came with the stereo radio option IIRC and 1980 only. Also meant no map pockets although they could have been mounted lower on the door.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    No pics, but Engineered one of the hangers for the rear ac cover as the spot weld on the hanger broke. :( Maybe it will hold, but at least I tried something.
