Painting the hood white with a couple rally stripes so it might look okay white. Thanks for the kind words. -
Opinion thread- 81 silverado grill you like or ?
That’s my led fog light plan. Considering painting my grill and headlights trim white as well. I don’t want to spend $$ on silver paint when I have plenty of white. -
What have you done to your square lately??
I’m not restoring it to show condition so I plan to leave my personalized flaws in the paint. Considering it’s a driveway DIY paint job, it looks good enough and should protect the metal for another 10-20 years as it sits outside to weather. -

Those wheels look better on the SB than the 800, in my opinion. I sold my set after the stock tires wore out. They sold pretty quickly for $100 per wheel. I put on some 17” black MTs which I like much better. A couple of the stock wheels clear coat was burning off so they started looking tired...- mxer147

What have you done to your square lately??
Removed the candy wrappers, still a twenty footer but a five footer in the dark. A couple sags in the white paint and a little cobbly in some areas down low but it still works for me and I am still motivated to getRdone. -

What have you done to your square lately??
Pulled some tape/paper and hung the drivers door. I popped both fenders off last week so the doors will be easier to hang. -
What have you done to your square lately??
1.25 gallons of Raptor liner and around 0.25 gallons of epoxy primer. I’m sure some of you are cringing that I sprayed it for chip guard on the bed side. It was that or lots of hammering, filling and sanding….. I chose the easy path, I will be spraying gloss white over it as soon as it is... -
What have you done to your square lately??
Paper and taped the box sides, washed the bed metal down the with soap and water; assuming no wind, I plan to shoot primer and bed liner tomorrow morning. Let it dry a couple days so I can put it to work to haul some landscaping materials. -

Filling small holes without welding
My K20 square box was Swiss cheese. I cut a 1” copper tube about 2” length which I hammered flat. Used that to cover the hole on the backside held with magnets. I converted my 30 amp electric stove circuit to 220 to electrify the MIG welder with 0.023 wire. Holes welded up in 15 seconds or less...- mxer147

Best way to transport 19 55 gallon barrels?
Ask a friend or family to come along to drive another truck to help with the transport. Stop someplace nice to share a meal and reminisce about the fall colors, crisp cool air and perhaps share your highlights of the summer. -
What have you done to your square lately??
I’d like to remove just the fenders but not the hood to work on the fenders and install the doors. Can it be done this way? I was considering building a couple triangle braces for resting the hood while I work on the fenders. -
What have you done to your square lately??
Highly doubtful it’s enforced, pull up to any intersection or parking lot and you will see at least one expired registration, usually many expired. -
What have you done to your square lately??
Hoping to get back working on the K20 soon to finish up the box and paint. I’ve been busy doing prison work (moving rock, dirt, planted around 75 low water plants, mulch, etc….) I just have several tons of rock to go. I’m gonna spray bedliner in between moving rock. -
Leftovers - Part 2
I’m interested in the sun visors. How much to ship to 80112? I might be interested in some more leftovers for combined shipping. -
roof rust "paint?"
Try an oxidized area with naval jelly, cover with plastic wrap for a day or so, preferably indoors. I’ve had good success with it to remove rust. After that, epoxy primer like most recommend. Wear proper safety protection when using.- mxer147

Poll: alternative 20” wheel options
I like em all! Period correct wheels look great but the aftermarket wheels are off the charts IMO. Imagine cars today if they had the same boring wheels from back in the day…. Barf!- mxer147

First post with Questions
Exhaust rubbing from a loose or improperly placed hanger will result in a squeak, depending where it’s at it will resonate into the cab. You could also increase the radio volume and keep the windows down to drown out the squeak, that’s the if it’s not broken don’t fix it theory. Nice looking truck!- mxer147

Please help me solve this riddle
Well, winter is around the corner and I am gonna start driving my beater car, 99 Bonneville 3800, 275k miles. Thus, I’m going to work on my new issue that I didn’t solve when I stopped driving end of April. I definitely have oil in my coolant, enough to leave residue on my finger when I put it...- mxer147

Scores from DIY Parts Yards, Pull A Part, U Pull It etc
Silverado showed up in the yard so I pulled the two door glass and vent windows, head liner, seat track, and some misc interior parts. The original door glass was badly scratched. -

Seam sealed the bed, now I wait for seven days to cure. Time to work on xeriscape. -

Still sanding, and welded 25 holes in the bed, makes nearly 70 total since I started working on the box. Welded the torque washers too. Hopefully coated in bed liner by month end.
