    Big block running hot. Can’t figure out the issue

    Make sure you've got the correct water pump for whatever drive belt you have too.

    Olds 350 diesel to sbc swap

    I'm in central NC. This truck I looked at was a loaded Sierra Grande. All power, tilt, cruise. It had a Starburst in the door with Canada inset. I passed on it due to price & condition. HS

    Thoughts on how to recover from a slightly cross threaded spark plug threads in head?

    I recently had an issue with #7 on an SBC. As many plugs that I've changed, from TPI Camaro, Vette, Triton Ford, Hemi Dodge, no issues at all with the exception of older Triton blowing plugs out. My ole 76 tho, got me on #7. Made in Mexico Autolite looking just like the previous post. I ran my...

    Olds 350 diesel to sbc swap

    Welcome to the club fella. I just passed up a Canadian GMC that was a 5.7 diesel. Good luck in your swap & daily driver. HS

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Just drug one of the farm mules out for some brake service. The backing plate on the 76 says she needs some wheel cylinders.

    WTB '83/84 GMC dual headlight grille

    I just called and spoke with him. I told him to join the site and PM you directly. I saw the grille when he bought it and I told him then that there were folks here looking for that type grille. Maybe you two guys can get together on something. HS

    82 Sierra Grill alternatives

    I have an 82 that I've pieced together as well. Mine is a High Sierra but single headllamp version. I'm with @85K30 as I'd graft in a section and paint it. I used JB Weld and a donor 87 grille for the repair on mine. The grille mesh is a bit different but not many folks will notice unless you're...

    Clutch cover and flywheel damaged out of the box?

    Much can happen on that 10K trip from China to you. Looks better than the next you'll get (probably). I'd run it. HS

    What I have done to my Square lately…

    Hello everyone. I probably could have put this into the current “what have” thread but I have several pics that I wanted to include. The story behind the truck is that my SIL bought this 87 V10 back in Feb. He despises bodywork and the paint was mostly original and what was left was terrible...

    Hi from IL

    Wow, replied with sign language too!!! My dear ole dad bought his (mine) crew C20 when I was 5 years old. He told me several times while growing up that "there was a time when I was thousands of times older than you, but you're catching up". When I finally was smart enough to realize what he was...

    Hi from IL

    I've got one of those NP203/TH400 setup somewhere out in the weeds. I love those dual crossmembers with skidplate. I'm building a '78 K20 GMC with almost the same setup as you with the exception of mine being SM465/NP205. Keep your pics coming and let us know the "what-for" on the hole...

    Hi from IL

    I was going to mention that I've seen 20's with TH350 trannies which are shorter than the TH400. @Idaho, you bought your K20 when I was only a few months old!!! Wow. HS

    Hi from IL

    Welcome from The Tarheel State. It may be possible that the TH400 had an NP205 behind it instead of the NP203. The crossmember mount is bolted to the NP203 and then to the transmission whereas it is the opposite for the NP205. There may be a length difference between the two mounting styles but...
