    What have you done to your square lately??

    Thanks Bucket, I took it loose at the transfer case and still had a little trouble getting the cable through. Cable housing looks OK, no kinks or anything obvious. Put it all back together and the speedometer is still bouncing a little, I'll see how it does after driving a little, if it...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    My speedometer has been jumping around, so removed the gauge cluster and pulled the speedometer cable out of the housing. I cleaned it, lubed it, and tried to reinstall it, but it won't go all of the way back in, lacking about an inch or so. Is there a trick to getting it back in? Do I need to...

    What new tools have you got lately?

    Took me forever to get this one almost done, hopefully I can get started on my cab soon!

    What new tools have you got lately?

    Made a new dolly for working on the cab. The first one I made didn’t work so good, this one is 100% better. It bolts to the front and rear cab mounts and rolls great. The first one used air filled tires, which I thought would be better, but they were always losing air and didn’t roll as good...

    1983 Blazer 6.2 L Diesel all original online sale.

    Looks like it would be a good start, body looks straight and solid. Think I would have washed it before listing it though!

    Buses aren't just for rednecks anymore !!!

    The Flex is cool, but because of it's age, everything needs to be updated. Finding a newer bus as a donor would give me better axles, brakes, and driveline. That bird sounds interesting, how much? not sure if a 8.3 would fit ( kind of long), I like the Cat I have but its heavy.

    I'm surprised how many VW guys are on this forum. I'm heading out to pick up a 68 this evening.

    Buses aren't just for rednecks anymore !!!

    A couple of great deals! I had a skoolie years ago, before they were cool:p. Got rid of it after the kids grew up and moved out on their own. Been looking for a deal on a rear engined one, need a backwards rear end and possibly the rest of tne driveline for my 1947 F!xible Clipper pusher...

    Mystery Switch

    Looks aftermarket, considering the light, I think you are probably correct, backup lights. The light would remind you they are on so you don't drive around with them glaring at the people behind you.

    How do I know if I have a bad head gasket?

    Do you think I should stop drill the cracks, or just solder them?

    How do I know if I have a bad head gasket?

    Ok so I topped off the coolant the other day, let it run for a while and looked for bubbles, didn’t see any, so took it for a drive. It started hissing coolant after a couple of miles. Limped it home and pulled the shroud since it appeared to be leaking behind it. Finally saw where it is...

    How do I know if I have a bad head gasket?

    I'll try that. It smokes a little when cold, but as soon as it warms up, the smoke goes away, no steam. Also, after it overheated, I filled the overflow reservoir, and it is still full, even though the coolant level apparently went down, wondering if I may have a bad cap.

    How do I know if I have a bad head gasket?

    While plowing snow last week my CUCV overheated. I had it plugged in for about an hour and a half, then started it and let it warm up for 15-20 min while clearing the windows and shoveling a little snow. I drove it about 2 miles, up a pretty steep hill, then it overheated. It was -18 degrees...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Finally replaced my driver side mirror, the old one was getting a little rough, and was home to a wasp nest. Took a while to find a painted mirror that wasn’t too bad. Some fresh paint and it’s good as new!

    Filler neck components

    Pretty sure you need the later one since the bed has fuel doors.
