    What have you done to your square lately??

    The air cleaner is done, harmonic balancer torqued down. Valve covers aint pretty (some minor dents), but it doesn't matter because the pair of 1955 Olds Rocket ones will be going on at another time...

    1981 k30 crew cab dually

    Welcome Kendall!!! Beautiful truck you have there, they sure are fun. Can be some work, but a LOT of fun! I learned early on from fellow Hot Rodders when I was doing my first hot rod (51 Ford Truck), that get all the mechanical stuff in safe working condition. Cosmetic stuff can come later...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    What are they asking for it? There is a 77 Burb locally for sale, looks rust free, 454 & TH400 trans, 2WD with barn doors (which I dislike), and they are asking $2,500 for it. I would love to get it, but don't want the wrath of my wife coming down on me!

    What have you done to your square lately??

    What does the interior look like? I would tackle the hell outta that!!!! I LOVE suburbans! I am still searching for my dad's 78 2WD trailering special 454......it was local, but no luck yet. If I were to do that suburban I would probably put on a clip from a 77/78 Suburban. Or even the 74/75...

    Lowering kit is lower than expected... issues!!

    Beautiful truck! I too also like that rake, I would personally leave it and modify the inner fender wells for your issue. However, you have to be happy with it so if you want to raise that front a bit for the look you want, do it! No matter what you decide, that truck is awesome!

    New and useless

    Welcome from Minnesota!! Whoaaaa that hurts man :D Q-junk :hmm: I personally love those carbs, and when you know how to re-build them correctly (I am still learning, my dad is a master at it), they perform awesome! I have run Q-Jets on most of my engines, and will be building one for my 455...

    '76 GMC 1 ton (454) radiator???

    NICE!! Would it fit a 76 though? I am looking for a direct bolt in & be done. I plan to go aluminum, and to get a fan/clutch assembly on this.

    '76 GMC 1 ton (454) radiator???

    THANK YOU for that information!!! I have nothing to base it on. I do have a 4 core radiator from a 69 Olds, but not sure of its condition. I would rather put in a new and be done with it. My 76 GMC parts truck (the green one) has that shorter radiator with the step down in the upper bracket...

    '76 GMC 1 ton (454) radiator???

    Gent's, I am trying to figure out what radiator to get for my truck and need some assistance. My truck did not come with a radiator so I am trying my best to find a 4-core that will work, but I do not know the proper/stock dimensions of the radiator. Can anyone give me some advice, or where...

    Dyno do’s and Dyno don’ts

    I am so fricken offended :eek: Just kidding :D If I had that kind of coin stuck into an engine, I would even want to know if their parents were assholes. You have a large amount of time and money in the engine, you can ask any questions you want of what may happen with your engine and how the...

    Dyno do’s and Dyno don’ts

    @BigDaddy72 will the dyno people break in your engine, or is it already broke in? I would want to be sure it is broke in properly before any dyno pulls are done with it. I have never had one done. I would ask if they are going to break it in & do an oil change before a dyno run. Also is a...

    ISO Quadrajet

    That is very cool. I love speed parts on stuff like that. Very NICE! You're right, that BB Olds carb may be a bit much for it.
