    What new tools have you got lately?

    Weird thing is I went to turn the lights off and they were off. I looked and it said direct fit. I'll look into it tomorrow. I think when I dropped one and bent the little prong on one side maybe has something to do with it. But it was lit when I took the picture. Idk

    Nope, I got them at Walmart. I don't remember how much but it was around 15 bucks or so I think. In a white and green box. 40w

    I got the 4' led bulbs for the shop light. Wow whata big difference they make. I'll be replacing them all with these.

    Shouldn't he hook vacuum advance to front carb vacuum fitting? That's where Mines hooked up. Manifold vacuum is constant right? Where carb vacuum increases with rpm increase. I might be wrong about this tho. If I am continue and ignore me. Lol

    Everything looks good to me. I don't have any vacume hoses to my water outlet on the intake but, it's not wrong. I just prefer not to have it on my truck.

    Motor Mounts for 454

    I swapped a 305 with a 454 and used old brakets with no problems in my 82. Drove it Saturday. Long tubes too. Nothing rubs. Did put bb front springs in too.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Sprayed wd40 on the crank windows crank and rollers because it was really hard to crank and stripped a handle. Drivers side is much better now with new handle and lubed. Passenger side is harder but able to get it down now. Before it was nearly impossible to roll it down. Lol

    Windshield washer motor questions

    Does your pump on the motor work when you hit the button? IIRC when I put the test light on it one had power even when the button wasn't pressed. I just hooked the positive side of pump to that wire and negative side to the other wire. And it worked. I can double check when I get home if you...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Mocked up the led strip light. It's got double sided tape on it but I also got metal clips too. I haven't stuck it on with the tape yet. Just put the clips on it .this weekend I'll probably glue it on when I stick it. That way it won't come off at all. I think the clips hold it good but I want...

    LMC Parts

    I could definitely use a tan one for my 84. It's got a black one that's pretty much trashed. Just let me know when, if you decide to get rid of it.

    https://www.gmsquarebody.com/threads/82-short-bed-c10-build.22581/ Here's when I put my new quadrajet, distributor and intake on the old 305. It ran 100 percent better before I put the 454 in it.

    Windshield washer motor questions

    They're in the grill behind the hood. When I first looked into the problem, I pulled the line to the jug from the motor on the firewall and blew in it to see if it was clogged with dirt and crap. It took a good breath to get bubbles in the jug. So I think the water just stays in the lines.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    There was a rust hole in the 82s hood. Grinded the rust off, then stuffed with newspaper and put bondo over it. Sanded a couple of rust spots off and sprayed primer on it. The most I'll probably do is paint it with a flat color. Or maybe leave it with primer spots. We'll see what happens. Lol...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Also did a little body work on both of them. Found cracking Bondo on top the 84 along with a nice rust spot. Grinded off the rust and cracked bondo. Then put some more bondo on it and sanded it. Haven't put primer on yet because no bare metal is showing. I love the smell of bondo. Lol...
