Grille Color
I had some Dupli Color Graphite metallic wheel paint that matched my dash bezel gauge holes almost perfect. It's a very light metallic but was definitely darker than Argent. That being said, I'm not sure if GM would have used that same color on the grille's or not but I think it'd look great on...- mtbadbob

1977 Q-jet factory air cleaner housing and lid
I have a pretty private, small local guy who has a decent collection of Squares. I go there on a regular basis and will be going back when some of the snow goes away. I found another member here a really nice gauge cluster with a factory tach out of a '77 Blazer, so I'll check it. It may be a... -

No, the TH350's in the HD 4x4 trucks & Suburban's. They're a great tranny otherwise, but there is a reason they made the tougher TH400. That's just my experience here in the mountains of Montana.- mtbadbob

I'm not sure why GM chose to throw the TH350's at the HD trucks. I'm sure you won't be doing any serious off-roading or heavy-duty towing, but I've just seen too many TH350's fail in those bigger trucks. Hopefully it'll treat you right!- mtbadbob

Nice truck! My uncle bought a '77 K20 new that had the SB 400. I wasn't overly impressed with it until I bought a '76 Monte with one stock. It was one of the best Chevy engines I ever owned! I've always liked the '79 & up boxes w/fuel access doors the best also. Nice work, she's gonna be...- mtbadbob

Dash/Stereo Progress and Wiring Question
Yes sir! I installed a Viper alarm in my '86 Monte SS AFTER my 1st stereo system was robbed. It went off after a second attempt a couple years later after they knocked out the trunk lock, but that was the only thing I had to replace/repair as they had to run off when the alarm sounded. Good...- mtbadbob

Dash/Stereo Progress and Wiring Question
Man, that dash looks awesome! Where did the charcoal dye come from? That's the color of my interior, but it is tough to find. I installed the black urethane dash into my truck but am not that pleased with it. I definitely wish I would of spent the extra $ on the vinyl one instead. Your whole...- mtbadbob

Need help deciding
Man, both are very cool! I'd go with the '87 just because of it's a bit more "updated" and has the TBI. That being said, I'd ditch those wheel covers & get you some '90's GM alloy's or different caps!- mtbadbob

Batteries
I'm also a huge AC/Delco fan as I've had them last 7+ years and over 200K miles on a remote start vehicle here in Montana where temp's can vary nearly 150 degrees from the heat of summer to the heart of the winter. My mother also got over 8 years out of her AC/Delco that came stock in her '06...- mtbadbob

What have you done to your square lately??
Replaced my leaking power steering gear box a month or so ago with one my mechanic buddy had, only to realize it was an earlier version, '67-'80, with 18:1, 4 turn ratio w/flare fittings instead of o-ring. Anyway, I decided to replace the input shaft seal in my original one, and after getting... -
89-91 Dash Cluster Bezel
I'm still looking for you Benny! I've looked at a few but haven't given up on finding the din style. Winter has slowed my picking down but will be making trips back to that one yard. -

Where to buy seal
I just put an input shaft seal in my 208, got it from NAPA, so I'm sure they'd have the output seal.- mtbadbob

Dual tank fuel gauge makes no sense.
My only problem is that when my right tank gets below 1/4 full, my truck will periodically die, like the pump loses pressure or prime. It'll immediately start back up, but it's kind of dangerous & annoying as I'm usually slowing down to turn or stop when it does this. I guess I may have to pull...- mtbadbob

Dual tank fuel gauge makes no sense.
My truck does not have the rocker switch, and my fuel gauge reads correctly on each tank. I was merely informing JM of KY on the status of my '87 TBI set-up as I thought he suggested that the newer switches were the rocker-type, which mine isn't. My switch is the correct one that stays depressed...- mtbadbob

Dual tank fuel gauge makes no sense.
My '87 TBI has the tank switch that stays on the selected tank, NOT the rocker style. I had to splice a factory plug onto my harness as the PO had it rigged with a toggle & about 8 wires. Anyway, the earlier 80's harnesses had a different plug that would only fit the rocker type fuel tank...- mtbadbob

87 Stock TBI 350 air cleaner lid flip upside down? Does it help? does it hurt? good or bad idea?
I had a '76 Monte w/sb 400. It ran better with the fuel/air screws out about 5 turns AND air cleaner lid flipped over(more air intake)-FACT! Now, with tbi, I believe the stock set up is better because of the CAI, just makes sense...- mtbadbob

89-91 Dash Cluster Bezel
If you can wait a week, I'm going picking at a local yard & he has some later square's, so I'll look and get the best one. Do you have a max budget? He's reasonable on all his parts, so I'm expecting $25-$30 maybe??
