    Things I never thought would happen

    I will get pictures and post them as soon as I can. I'm limited on the amount of time that I can spend working on the truck. Last time I tried to do a test drive the truck ALMOST made it around the block before I had to have my neighbor (who has a Z71 OBS) tow me home.... Michael Overland...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Hello all, I finally got my driveshaft installed so now it's onto other issues with the basket case. I went and dropped the fuel tank so I could clean out the fuel tank. Come to find out the gas gauge DOES work because i dropped the tank with about 6 gallons in it. After pulling the tank and...

    well, heck!

    I wanted to end this long weekend with some work on the basket case so I finished bolting the steering column in and i fixed up a temporary fuel system. Once the electric fuel pump built up enough pressure in the line i hit the ignition and my little I6 fired right up. I have a video of the...

    and i trusted the fuel gauge for WHAT reason?!?

    Hi everyone!!!!!!! It's been a minute since I've posted anything and that is because it has been too hot to do anything outside. Since it has started to cool down in South Texas I decided to figure out why I'm not getting any fuel out of the tank. Everyone I know said to drop the supply line...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Well, I finally got around to fixing the column shifter in my 81. Fixing the shifter required some "modifications" to the vehicle itself. All I need to do is tack the shifter housing to the supports and I'll officially be able to say that I finally have a vehicle that is Hurst Equipped. Mike
