    Best Squarebody shop near Jacksonville FL

    Sounds like you have the classic failing cowl seam. Although you have the second gen body style with the different cowl I think it may suffer the same thing where the firewall and cowl come together, the seam sealer Fails and then start to rust out and leak into the floorboards. This is what...

    Hump plastic console thing around the 4wd shifter. Generic off Amazon . The torq converter sheet metal lower cover is I think out of an Astro van??

    What have you done to your square lately??

    It could be from a leaking diaphragm in your fuel pump, running rich and a worn engine.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Well I'm going to do this to my square next week when I get back home. I have the oil draining now so it can drip most of it out by the time I start. I'm going to roll in new mains and put new rod bearings in. Mine are worn on the mains when I had it apart last year doing work. When I swapped...

    79 C35 454 rear main seal replacement

    I did it last year on a small block 350. On a 4wd no you can do it all in the truck. On a small block and I would bet on a big block as well there is plenty of space to get the pan off and you can do the rear main seal as well.

    N. Carolina to SoCal?

    A lot of stuff o we here might look priced right to California guys. Its the getting it there that adds value to it. BUTTTT on a hard to find actually rare part it makes sense. At first I thought were were talking about a th350 or sm465, and was like what.

    battery post mystery

    I think excide is in Mexico and even I think that Johnson might have a Mexico factory. Yes they can vary. But there is few companies is my point and like I said pounds of lead is the main thing so heavies battery in a given size is what you want for best price.

    battery post mystery

    There is only like 3 or 4 makers of batteries that supply the US market. Die Hard is just a name, they do not manufacture batteries. I think the batteries at advance are a good chance made by Johnson controls . I can't remember. I use to by all my batteries there cause with the online discount...

    battery post mystery

    Like I posted to Raider. My Toyotas have a group 24. One of those Toyotas is a Sequoia. Toyotas biggest vehicle and at the time the largest engine they made. It has the 4.7L V8. No issue cranking it with that battery even in as cold a temps as we get here in SC with a 5 year old battery. The...

    battery post mystery

    I know I'm a little late on this thread. I worked in auto parts for a short time. I think the ones your talking about that are small. Are they more rectangle and tall looking? Those are for at that time Hondas from like the 80s and 90s. I don't believe Honda since then uses that battery. I know...

    Dome light

    Thanks. I need to get back on this project. As for the other. I may or may not have a CCP and I can hide a gun wherever I want to on my body or several places in my truck. Even if I didn't have one you can ride around with guns in this state unless your a convicted felon.

    Is there such thing as upgrading your starter and should i do it?

    If it starts fine with a strong good battery I wouldn't worry about it. Chevy kind of had the starter down on these things.

    To Gasket, or not to Gasket?

    Why are you useing gasket maker and rubber gaskets together? Are you doing like I did when I did my valve covers and just glueing the rubber to the valve cover which is what I did with like 4 or 6 spots on the gasket to glue it and hold it in place when I installed them?

    Oil Pressure Wiring

    So do you have the oil pressure gauge on the dash? If you have it, you don't have the wire hanging back there for the sender?

    Ls swap questions

    Get the wiring harness, the computer and you may as well get the transmission or a modern transmission to get the full benefit from the swap. Make sure you get all the brackets and grab the accessories needed as I don't believe they swap over.

    Timing vs. harmonic balancer?

    The balancer can slip. The outer ring moves on the inner. And the timing marks no longer mean anything at that point. Not saying this happened but it can

    Passenger side duct source.

    I was coming back to my thread to report my luck. Last night in another google search that item came up. I went to the website and ordered a foot of it. Shipping was cheap too. Who would of thought an aircraft part would be cheaper!! I am not sure why I didn't see that hose when I was looking...

    Advice on fixing some rust/holes

    Usually water gets to the floorboard from the seam in the cowl being rusted out. That windshield looks like a likely suspect as well.

    I broke my new truck

    Light not burned out? That normally in a functioning truck means a bulb is burnt.

    compounding/polish

    Probably no clear on an early 80s model. That compound is amazing. Use it and then a good polish and wax after. The paint will have no protection after the compound and dirt will stick to it like crazy, you will want to get wax on it fast.
