    '23 Jackson, LA Car Show

    This one reminded me of @Keith Seymore Not exactly my style but some of you may find it interesting. And this one was from a small group we joined to drive over to the Jackson show.

    '23 Jackson, LA Car Show

    There was a really nice model train museum but I didn't take many pics of that. It was both indoor and outdoor and added something different to see. Saw this old Work Horse and thought about @SirRobyn0 although this one was NOT in good shape. It looks like they were trying to resurrect it...

    '23 Jackson, LA Car Show

    Once again my favorite ex-brother-in-law wanted me to attend a car show with him. This one was an All Day affair and was about a 2 hour drive from home in our antiques because we stay on the back roads and enjoy our ride. Jackson Louisiana is a very small town but sits on some rolling hills...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    I cleaned it up and drove it to a car show in Jackson Louisiana. I was not expecting much of a show but saw some really nice vehicles, met some nice folks and I won a trophy. I took 3rd in the 4x4/Offroad category and our Bronco project took 2nd. Overall a pretty good day, especially since I...

    Rally wheels

    @jdogginit those front center caps are Not Right. They look like they are only 5 lug but that makes zero sense to me. They don't look like any factory GM 4wd center cap I remember. I used some plain old silicone I had here in my shop. Don't recall what it was. I can tell you that so far I...

    Rally wheels

    @jdogginit something looks a little bit off with two of the open ended (front) center caps. With a little polishing and a new set of stickers those center caps will come back nicely. Or you can buy a replacement set of center caps but they will be plastic. I found a replacement set of the...

    1985 C10 Door Mirrors

    As others have said, the factory mirror is Stainless Steel. It is NOT chrome. I don't have any experience with the chrome version, I would trust @bucket on that score. The driver's side mirror is a flat, conventional mirror. The passenger's side had the "Objects are closer than they appear"...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    I drove it to a small local car show. Had a nice visit with some nice folks. A couple of cheap POS cars parked next to me: I met the owner of this little Square Body. And yes, he does know this is NOT a true "Fall Guy" truck. I tried to buy his front bumper...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    I could see how that mix-up could happen. I did that "1987" plate for two reasons. 1. When people approach me at gas stations, store parking lots, at red lights, they always start off with "What year is that truck?". While I love the conversation starter, I thought that might help. 2. At...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    You know they are strictly cosmetic...but they are well made, the chrome is decent and the hardware looks strong. On a 4wd they look appropriate somehow. I kept putting off buying them just in case the perfect winch and winch bumper appeared. That's what I really wanted but I also fear I...

    Bumper guards

    I just ordered a set from Brothers Truck/Holley. I am cautiously optimistic. I like the smooth, clean look of my plain chrome bumper but I also think they make a 4wd look a little more rugged. I was on the fence and made the mistake of asking my son what he thought. I showed him some pics...

    Oil Pressure Guage Mystery

    No it will not. That switch is a backup to the rest of the fuel pump circuit. The only way it can shut off power to the pump is if the primary circuit is compromised in some way. I initially thought exactly what you posted but the wiring diagrams and some very helpful folks on this forum...

    Bluetooth radios

    I have a Retrosound in mine. It took me a while to get the adjustments correct to make it sound right but I like it a lot. It looks period correct at first glance, when there is no power it really looks period correct because the digital readout isn't on. At car shows no one even notices that...

    Oil Pressure Guage Mystery

    The oil pressure SWITCH is not your problem with your fuel pump. If the fuel pump relay is bad that switch is a backup path for current to the fuel pump. Once the engine builds enough oil pressure to close the switch contacts you would get power to the fuel pump but that would only matter if...

    Oil Pressure Guage Mystery

    Well of course they should... but will they? I had some trouble getting one locally and then they didn't last so I decided to order from RockAuto. That solved my oil pressure gauge problems. Regarding the oil pressure SWITCH that is against the firewall; it is difficult but not impossible to...

    Voltage Drop

    Lots of great advice here, I agree with pretty much all of it so no sense repeating it. I will say that I didn't realize just how bad my original alternator was until after I replaced it. About where in Mississippi are you located? Do you take that truck to Cruisin the Coast?

    New wheels/tires - 73 K10 w/2” lift

    I actually am a little embarrassed about doing that but THE SAME question gets asked and a picture tells the right answer. I have been on forums where the regulars would literally roast any "noob" that dared to ask a question that had previously been answered. They would say, "Do A Search" and...

    New wheels/tires - 73 K10 w/2” lift

    @bbusse That will work just fine. Here is mine with a Skyjacker 2" softride and 33x12.50s on the factory rally wheels.

    Oil Pressure Guage Mystery

    @JamesSam I went through 3 brand new sending units before the oil pressure gauge in my '87 started working correctly. Once you get a decent one they work just fine. This one was bad and you can see it was still almost new when I changed it.
