Hydro-boost not working
The pump should supply hydraulic pressure to the brake unit. There's an accumulator (round can) on the unit that retains pressure for a few stops should the pump quit/belt slip/engine die. I'd flush the p/s fluid & make certain the belt is tight before I started replacing pumps & boosters tho. HS -

Np208 oil seal
Putting them back to back keeps the fluids in the trans & case separated. The factory seals are usually a double or 2-way style. Back to back works fine tho. HS- Strick

Look at the long bus plug on the column where the ignition switch is. The turn signal plugs in the the same area. It may be loose or disconnected entirely. HS- Strick

K-30 12v Swap
I've had Detroits & a couple D-max trucks, but never a Cummins. I've had buddies that have had them tho. The SM465/NP205 will take far more punishment than even a juiced up Cummins will give. Giving up OD with the "Granny" is an obvious reason to go 5 or 6 speed, but those trannies of whatever...- Strick

Welcome from NC. I've got two '79 Crews; a C20 that dad bought new & C30 Dually that I'm going to convert to 4x4. That's a great score and awesome price on your rig. Keep us updated. HS- Strick

What have you done to your square lately??
I'm finally getting time to shred this K30. It was a real score for just over $300. I put the engine in the 76 & now have an SM465/NP205 for my other 76 K20, as well as getting the K30 rear hangers so I can convert this other 79 C30 to K30 & leave dear ole dad's C20 Crew alone! There's not... -

sm465 top cover is stuck on truck will not come off
You have to find that "sweet spot" where it's not fully engaged in reverse. It can be very aggravating especially if the trans is in the truck already. Keep messing with it & it'll finally see things your way. HS- Strick

C10 LIMITED SLIP VS LOCKER VS SPOOL
Swapping in an SM465 or NV45/5500 will make you think you have a 454 in that D30. Those ole Detroits love a third pedal. HS- Strick

Crewcab body swap on Regular Cab C&C 159.5" WB?
I don't have any other pics unfortunately. A friend sent me those polaroid pics a year or so back after he re-discovered them during a remodel of his house. I sold the truck just after he took those pics. The home built crew went away and I used the money for the down payment on my first home! I...- Strick

Crewcab body swap on Regular Cab C&C 159.5" WB?
I built a Crew on a LB frame about 20 years ago. I used a 74 K20 chassis & a 77 cab. I used a body lift for the radiator support & front cab mounts. I then used angle iron welded to the frame for the center cab mount & finally welded a 2WD tranny crossmember on top of the frame for the rear...- Strick

Questions about turning a Burb into a 4 door pickup
Yes it does, my apologies for the late response. I cut the lift gate glass away and removed a bunch of the locking mechanism from the latch. The hinge is not the most sturdy but it serves its purpose. It was going to be very complicated to make the gate drop and was way easy to make it swing... -

new from south texas
Welcome from Central NC. I've been as far south as Houston/Galveston but no farther. All the locals kept referring us Yankees to go to Kemah while there. It was similar to Myrtle Beach I thought. Glad to see you get your old Square back in the deep Lone Star State.- Strick

New 85 Blazer
Hey man, welcome to the site. I like both rides BUT there's room a plenty in the K5. I love those old Broncos, Scouts and first gen K5's too but there is not as much room in those as there is in the Square. Thanks for the pics. HS- Strick

New to me '82 Chevy C20
I can't sing "Oh Canada" but I can give you a good ole southern "HOWDY"! Welcome in from NC and thanks for supplying the pics of the ride. With some sandpaper, bondo and new hue it will be better than a going to town truck. You probably don't want me to sing anyway...on second thought. HS- Strick
