    What have you done to your square lately??

    For that kind of money you can go to a wrecking yard and get a set of good springs off a low milage truck.

    Engine identification

    Okay, I think I have it. V=Flint, Michigan. 0430 is April, 30. TJC is a 1973 block casting and 160hp, used in 2WD C20/3500. But that doesn't match with the casting number on the back of the block which is 3970010... and the info on that casting number says it is a 350, used 1969 through 1979...

    Engine identification

    Found it. Had to scape off some paint but it looks pretty clear. Thanks for your help. Is there a site that is best for checking the numbers to see what I have? It looks like I only have eight digits, V0430TJC. I thought there would be more...

    Engine identification

    Resurrecting an old thread to get better information... I got the cast number off the left rear of the block, but I can't find any stamped number. Where would the stamped number be? Is it under an exhaust manifold? The cast number tells me the block is a 350, used between 1969 and 1979 and 185...

    K20 Wheel/Tire Confirmation

    If I remember right any eight lug Chevy up thru 2004 (?) has rims that will fit any square body eight lug truck. I scored some aftermarket rims (and tires) that probably cost quite a bit more new than I paid for them. Takeoffs when a guy wanted something else. I'll need tires pretty soon after...

    Why did this thread get polluted by off topic posts when there is a perfectly good thread to post music discussion?

    Hello from Maine

    I just replaced the front driveshaft on mine with a new one from Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09DCRZT8Z/ There are different options so if you decide to go this route be careful and READ the DESCRIPTIONS carefully to be sure you order the right one.

    Hey everybody I'm Anthony an auto tech from Tucson Arizona. I look forward to getting involved with this discussion forum.

    Before you get started, buy a Chilton or Haynes manual for squarebody trucks.

    Hiya Folks, new owner, battery, oil, and filter recommendations

    If you get frustrated because it won't start, I have cash. Where is the truck?

    Gravity feed after the pump?

    If you are sure that the lines are clear and the pump is not sending fuel... it is likely that the cam shaft lobe is worn out. You can try a new shaft, or plumb in an electric pump.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    RV cam and headers are the most bang for the buck. Sounds like you have everything else covered, IMO.

    Another noob

    Love the patina. If it was me, I'd keep it that way. What does it say on the door?

    Should I trade for a Square?

    I'm interested in what you have. Unless you would rather I buy from them for some reason...

    Should I trade for a Square?

    What would it be to ship one (Automatic, '78) to 84654 including freight?

    New to the square body group!

    I just realized where I've seen your truck... Yeah, I know it's not the right year or grill... but still.

    New to the square body group!

    I like the yellow. Sell it to me and you can go looking for something in your color. I'd keep the wheels too. I like those wheels with the beauty rings.

    Pinion angle?

    Okay, I have a question. When putting shims in to change the angle of the rear pinion, do you put the shim in under the springs between the diff and the springs... or can you put it above the springs? Does it really matter? My concern is this. The spring pin is just the bolt head coming out the...

    Cylinder head gasket replacement job

    Whatever you do don't use those 3M discs to clean the surfaces. They will put bearing eating material in the oil galley and it's likely you will lose the bottom end if it gets down in the bottom end.

    So is there an update @medic503 ? Have we been abandoned to wander through eternity wondering if your kid ever got to drive his truck?

    Short stepsides are the bomb. Find or build one. The new ones look hokey.

    Those are some pretty meaty tires.

    What is it?

    There's one just like it sitting in a wrecking yard here. '68 Suburban, same color, and although a lot of parts are stripped it's pretty solid. And it's a three door, so fairly rare. I'm trying to decide if I have one more rebuild in me...

    Write up: Gas Tank Relocation

    Thanks, that would be helpful. I'd be curious anyways. What makes a Suburban capable of carrying a 40 gallon tank anyways? I suppose more length behind the axle than a blazer. If you can get a measurement I'd like to know.
