What have you done to your square lately??
Took the 87 on a road trip, stopped in lower Alabama to see my mom, went out to the old family cemetery/farm, then headed down to Seagrove beach, just west of Panama City Beach. Put about 900 miles on it from Thursday to today. No issues whatsoever with it. Even got it over 95mph a few times... -

1973 upper ignition housing
Yeah man, always figured it was more or less all the same as long as it was from the same era, or from tilt to tilt, or non tilt to non tilt. Rebuilt a tilt column for an 88 blazer, using the tilt internals from an obs column and everything was fine lol. The upper housing I got off ebay that... -

1973 upper ignition housing
Figured out a section of the pot metal snapped in side my ignition housing on my non tilt column. Ordered a replacement and figured out that 73 was slightly larger in diameter and had a different shift detent plate. Anybody got some 73 non tilt column parts? -

What have you done to your square lately??
Swapped the 73’s ammeter out for a voltmeter and ran a power and ground off the temp gauge to the voltmeter. As much as I’d like to keep all the factory gauges for this trucks LS swap, I’m kind of torn between picking up a Dakota digital/ squarebody syndicate cluster, or swapping a burb’s... -
Adding trim to a plain sided 79
Installed some on a base model 77. Pain in the dick. The original trim pieces are thin enough as is, but the LMC stuff is even thinner and super prone to bending/kinking/creasing etc. so if you’re not super careful and meticulous with your instal, you’ll def F em up. When it was time to drill... -

Noob here looking for help deciding wether to purchase a new crate motor or do an engine re-fresh
Yeah that’s just for the labor. Some folks bring in a built n blueprinted expensive motor to put in. Some just wanna throw something affordable, reliable, close to stock in there. So depending on what engine ya go with, def set aside some stacks. So, as ironic as this sounds, forums are...- John Nes

First off, welcome! Once you pinpoint why it’s shutting off, you’ll have a better idea about what your cost to fix that particular issue will be. At the shop I’m at, engine swaps run about 1600$ In labor plus consumables (oil, coolant, etc). Some folks just want a no frills, basic ass sbc 350...- John Nes

77-80 GMC grilles
I can take some for ya tmrw. I want to say there isn’t a mount for the sides, but rather 3 tabs up top and 3 tabs on the bottom, screwed in and attached via sliding plastic body nuts. Surely a GMC illustrated parts/service manual for 77-80 would have it shown too -
77-80 GMC grilles
Full send trying to pop the hood. The grille on my 79 is also in great shape! After restoring a gmc, I quickly realized how much of a pain in the ass finding original parts are so I try to buy any original stuff that’s branded -
