C10s on the Capital, Olympia WA. Photos for you all….
Here’s a photo dump. Nice small outing on a cool cloudy day. -
What have you done to your square lately??
Got the truck back last night at about 6pm. When I picked it up, he informed me that apparently it had been cobbled together at one point- the driveshaft was too long, and it had some kind of conversion for the rear u-joint. He didn’t call me to tell me any of this, he just fixed it and did the... -
What have you done to your square lately??
Do they offer the colored adhesive tape to just reapply? I painted mine but would have been a quick and easy fix. -
What have you done to your square lately??
Dropped off for the posi-trac today. This should be fun. -
What have you done to your square lately??
That’s a good question- but I wouldn’t know. Actually mine is an ‘81, someone put on an 85-87 grille. -
What have you done to your square lately??
That dude doesn’t know what he’s talking about. Old hot rods to me are too cliche. I’ll bet he had, let me guess…fuzzy dice on his rear view mirror. I’m biased of course, but even if it was an old Ford truck with a brush guard I’d much rather go talk to that owner because he would likely have... -
What have you done to your square lately??
I’ve been meaning to get to the grille. It’s been haggard since I’ve owned it, the factory tape on the blue divider stripe has been cracked and deteriorating, and the surrounding trim has been dented and dinged up. The trim from Classic Industries showed up (they were the only ones with all... -

Computer Control Quadrajet rebuild
I had to do some digging as I happened across them back in June, but apparently it’s Zip Tune, and is a NAPA service center. Phone number is 360-336-2667. I’ve not used them myself, but I had called them in my friend’s stead and they confirmed that the main guy has been working on Q-jets for...- ChuckN

Vehicle Hauling Question
I found his number, and the old paperwork- From when we shipped it in 2016. I sent you a private message with his information. Hope this finds you well. @Kilian -

Vehicle Hauling Question
I could see if I could find the original paperwork after work today and get that to you. My remembrance might be off, but I think it was some thing around $1600. That was in 2016 though so things may have gotten more expensive. -
Vehicle Hauling Question
From what I gathered when I shipped our family truck from here to Kentucky, and from when it was originally shipped from Michigan to Washington, the luck you will have trying to find someone depends on how many trucks/drivers come through your area. They depend on backhauls since they never want... -
Another exhaust options thread - what should I do?
For sure. Corey, the manager, I think has a soft spot for us car guys. His grandpa runs the Midas out on Meridian, and does custom work too. When I didn’t want to take on the dual reservoir master cylinder upgrade for the old ‘54, he did it with style. Guys like this are probably word of mouth...- ChuckN

Another exhaust options thread - what should I do?
Well, my duals cost me 475 at Midas here in Bellingham. But maybe I’m just lucky.- ChuckN

Another exhaust options thread - what should I do?
Just throwing this out there- if not concerned with power, why not just find a custom exhaust shop nearby, have them bend and weld it up, and be done? At that point, you could specify what muffler to put on, and you’d be way less than 1k. You might gain a little mpg with true duals and an...- ChuckN

Show me your lowered truck. The lower the better!
@squaredeal91 you got it. Here’s my ‘81 with Heavy Metal Custom Shop’s ‘81 GMC. He just sent the photo to me yesterday.- ChuckN

Went to the candy store today...no sweets today, but...
I hear what you’re saying but I spend way too much money there from afar, probably would help me actually save money by living closer, haha. -
Hey...what's the big idea..??
Yeah, you’ll have no problem with the Q-Jet love here. In fact, you’re more apt to get the response “why would you ever want to get rid of one?” As a child of the 80s/90s, we were told that they weren’t cool. My dad’s corvette had one but we never messed with it…go figure. If you want to wear...- ChuckN

What have you done to your square lately??
Continuing on with checking everything over since the rain came in and the road trip is coming up soon. After replacing the failed grease gun that was only a year old (what’s up with that? My dad had the same one for 40 years!), I greased all the front end/u-joint, and checked all the torque... -

I really appreciate that!
