    Name brand or budget carb?

    I don't like the edelbrock carbs. Quadrajet is what gm put on these and that's be best one for the trucks imo. I replaced it with the Quadrajet and it runs great.

    Name brand or budget carb?

    I'd get a quadrajet from nationalcarbureators.com in Florida. I did and you won't be disappointed. It comes ready to slap on right out the box.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Buffed out the passenger side. Came out pretty good. Still got the back of the cab and roof to do. Then coat it with some wax with the da and should be good for now. Went through 3 wool pads too

    https://www.gmsquarebody.com/forums/suspension-steering-brakes.45/ Post this in this forum so more people will see it. I can't really help you with this because I've never replaced them. But somebody else will help you.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    I remember when I had the 454 put it I drove it home with open hedders until I could get it to the muffler shop. It was loud but fun. Lol

    Most affordable shipping for body panels?

    I have a passenger door with electric windows and locks everything is there if you want it. I've never seen what shipping would be to you up in Washington. It's a nice door no rust too. Also have found a guy up the road that has several squarebodys. He might have everything you need too. Give me...

    low oil pressure

    My 84 305 does the same thing. 10w30 mobile1 and mechanical gauge. Just changed the oil and filter. Once warm it's down to 5 to 10 range at idle but up to 20 to 30 on the highway. I figured as long as it goes up with rpm increase I'm good. Same oil in the 454 but it seems to stay around 20 to...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Fender and door. I used to do a couple vehicles in a day at the shop in my 20s. Now in my 50s gotta take a few breaks. Lol Also got the led strip light under the front bumper glued on now. Started to rain before I could get done. So gotta finish tomorrow if weather holds up.

    https://www.gmsquarebody.com/threads/paint-buffing-101.29998/ I did this on the 82's paint and it's in much more worse shape than the 84. It may help y'all a little bit understand how to do it.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    It's been like 30 years since I've done it. It takes practice and can be a little intimidating but you can do it. Got the variable speed buffer on Amazon and the Mcguires compound at Walmart. Just start out at slower speed and don't need to use a lot of pressure and keep it moving. Be careful...

    No fuel in carb at start up

    I'd pull the fuel line to the carb and check the little filter in there to make sure it's not too dirty. Heck you can just put a new one in they're cheap. Then turn the engine over with the line in a bottle or something and see if the pump pumps gas to the carb. If it is getting gas I'd tap...
