What have you done to your square lately??
It is a BBC shroud, but you need the correct solid, upper, mount. You are using the SBC left & right shroud brackets still. :waytogo: -

Adding a headrest to a bench seat
1988-1990 GM seats would all be low back anyways. 1991-94 is when the "safer" high backs came out. -
Best split bench option
20 years ago we installed a 1994 Sierra Classic/Silverado bench seat into my 1983 C10 regular cab. It was easy & I gained a lot more cabin room! This bench seat also had the headrest and a fold out armrest in the middle- Loved it. Soon after, we installed the same style 1990-94 GM 60/40 seats in... -
GM old paint codes and does color tones still match?
SOME of these pin stripes CAN still be found today!! I just finished acquiring some for our 2-tone blue 1984. One set came from searching Ebay & the others from various GM dealers around America. You are needing the 5-stripe, GM code "61A". This gives you 3 larger Almond stripes & 2 smaller...- BadBowtie

Torque Convertor Lock-Up Switch
Yes, we have that vacuum switch on the drivers side firewall. I have that connector unplugged now (way I bought the truck too) and the lock-up is inactive today. The 2.73 rear axle ratio is terrible for drivability on an all stock 305cid. With the harness plugged in on the firewall, lock-up...- BadBowtie

Dim Dash Lights
Just cheep 194 LED replacements is all we did in our 1984 Silverado. They alone made a world of difference. I cleaned the clear lens with glass cleaner while I had it all apart too- This is no show truck by any means either. -Jon in TX.- BadBowtie

Can your granny open your trucks door?
I've had 4 of these squarebody since 1988. I never had an issue opening them. Only thing that has broken on one of my trucks was that tension spring inside the button. Just allowed that push button knob to waller around some.... -

How does this leak
Plug is called a Welch plug. Some have a vent hole, some do not. I've only worked on about 6 of these on squarebodys, and none had the sleeve inside the tailshaft housing.....- BadBowtie

Do aftermarket speaker mounts make 6x9's clear the cab?
Makes sense Scott. Thanks for your reply too... -
Do aftermarket speaker mounts make 6x9's clear the cab?
I bought some noise dampening material to peel and stick, and put in that pocket. I have seen a few guys in here stuff insulation material in the cab corner pocket too, right behind the speakers. -
Do aftermarket speaker mounts make 6x9's clear the cab?
I bought really good (bigger magnet) Pioneer 4x10s, placed on stock brackets, and they hit our 1984 stock cab sheetmetal. I think I will make two cuts on our cab and roll the inner edges back for clearance. Those 6x9 aftermarket brackets look like they twist/turn the speakers, just enough, that...
