    some 4/6 drop wheel help (yea i know)

    I ordered CPP spindles and plan to run the original truck rallies. I am still a bit far from trying them though. I also have a set of van rallies that I could run up front if that helps. I will be sure to take pics when I get around to putting the wheels on but just got the spindles this week...

    Rusty Rallies

    They are by no means perfect and the pics make them look better than they are. The sand blaster was doing a better job of it but it was so time consuming and required someone to actively be spraying them with sand. The shot machine had a timer so we just tossed them in there one at a time and...

    Rusty Rallies

    Before they were primed we ran them in a steel shot machine. It's a machine with a basket that rolls like a rotisserie inside a machine that fires steel shot around in there. Sort of like a sand blaster but instead of sand or whatever it uses steel shot like what you have in a shotgun shell. He...

    Need opinions on part selection for static drop C10

    I am in the process of doing something similar. I ordered a complete kit from CPP though. I just unboxed the parts today. https://www.gmsquarebody.com/threads/my-78-silverado.20762/page-3#post-488340 Take a look at what I got there. It was $555 to my door. I know you mentioned getting rear...

    Add on ac, fenders, doors, rally wheels.

    I mistakenly read what happened to Old77s burb with those on it and his truck was lowered like mine will be. Since my truck didn't have them on the build and the trouble he got into with them I think I am going to pass. But don't toss them for sure.

    Floorboard paint

    Two votes for this and I am not sure what you are talking about... Do you mean like that DIY linex/rhino liner you roll on or something else?

    Floorboard paint

    This is my life, spot a tiny place and then watch it grow as I try to make it better. I ordered parts the other day just to have something else to do so I can not hate this thing before I can even drive it again. I got to wishing I had never taken it apart in the first place that last time I...

    Floorboard paint

    I have tried welding up the small holes and I think I am fighting a losing battle. What a pain. I had to stop and start working on something else before I got frustrated and broke something.

    I don't have a pillar spot light but what would they cost to send to 42503?

    What have you done to your square lately??

    I wonder what is actually happening here... Does the foil stick to the rust to give the appearance that it's all chrome again or is the rust actually removed by the foil? What does the oil do? So weird... but it looks like it works to me so no argument just wondering how.

    I sent some pics to my dad who has been shopping for a heavier truck but you are almost 1000 miles from us. He said it looks good though.

    Somernites Cruise

    The 3 were there today. That truck looks great! They had mirrors laying under it and it looks mint. The interior is pretty standard it looked like to me with a bench seat and column shift. That Ford was pretty neat. It had a hopped up Mercury flathead engine and the trailer is brand new.

    I entered my mustang in the first show this year. There were several squares but I didn't take any pics. The give away raffle truck is a square though if you all want to enter. You don't have to be present to win I think. They're giving away a 32 Ford roadster and a 20’ enclosed trailer too. I...

    Tire Reviews

    The guy I got these wheels and tires from had replaced them with the same size and brand just a different wheel. He liked these and hated drag radials too. His complaint was they picked up gravel and tossed them all over his car. What was the reason you hated the drag radials? I can imagine a...

    Mounted them on the car last night and I have to say the sumitomo H3s did better cold than these do. I crossed a break in the pavement in a curve and the back of the car danced laterally a bit where I had been through the same spot not long before and didn't have that issue. Outside of that one...

    Garage hacks/ideas to make life better?

    No kidding. There was a windmill on a tv antenna pole in the yard when I bought the place. He had a fan belt connecting the windmill to an alternator to charge batteries. The wife made me take that down because the guys last name was Bates and the tail of windmill said "master" bates. I should...

    Garage hacks/ideas to make life better?

    I am sure there was no inspection at all on this thing. I used the heck out of it but man was it a pain in the butt when it rained. It had railroad track suspended in the ceiling and a beam between them with a hoist attached to the beam. The guy who built it used it to pull engines and lift...
