    As long as everything works right they shouldn't care about how much rust you have on your vehicle. Unless it compromised the integrity of the vehicle. I got plenty of cosmetic rust on mine. But frame is still good. Picky bastards!

    Texas is doing away with the safety inspection next year. We don't have emissions for them anyways but I still think a basic safety inspection is still needed so you're not driving a huge pos with bad brakes, tires, lights and ect. Guess they don't feel the same. Hmm...:hmm:

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Got really disappointed today. I fired up the 82 after about a week and took it around the block. Backed out fine and drove down the street. When I turned right on the road right out of the subdivision and got on it a little it wouldn't shift out of second gear. So turned around and got it back...

    Gas hog

    I'm fixin to replace the edelbrock carb on the 84 305 to a quadrajet like I have on the 82 454 because it runs great with it. I've had 2 edelbrock carbs and both have sucked for me. Quadrajet has never had any problems on my trucks. I'll be using national carburetor in Florida because they...

    Well I was able to get the 84 started today by spraying ether in the carb. But it would not idle if I let off the gas. So I cranked the idle screw in all the way and let it warm up. As it did I had to turn it back out. While doing that I noticed the alternator belt was lose and that was the...

    Been thinking of replacing the Flowmasters on my 82 with glass packs. T h ink the 454 will sound meaner then.

    I haven't started the 84 in about two weeks. Tried to fire it up last night and it didn't start. Have to look at it this weekend. :(

    Check out my rear end

    Thanks for the information on this. I'll look into it. It's not really chirping but I feel it a little in a slow turn pulling on to the road from a stop. If I romp on it or accelerate pretty good it does get sideways because both wheels are spinning. Should I put in some additive in it? I may...

    Check out my rear end

    I have a 3.73 gm Trutrac 8.5 10 bolt posi rear end in my 82. New 700r4 and driveshaft. When I pull out on the street slow turn it always kinda chatters like was mentioned by the op. I have always thought it was the inside tire doing that because the outside tire has to travel faster than the...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    I kinda thought that too. But it's like little flap of rubber that didn't go all the way through like a split in the hose. I took it around the block and then checked the level. All good and doesn't seem to be leaking. Yet anyway lol

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Found and fixed transmission leak. Seems as a hose clamp broke and fell off. So I put two back on and it's holding so far. How easy. I should have done it sooner. Had to put 2 qts back in so far. Need to take it around the block to warm it up and check again.

    I had one like that on the 82. I smashed a glob of that puddy on it you can get and it's held up well. Still on there. It was easy.

    I really like your truck. But the rims kinda fck with me with the difference between the front and back. I love the look of the back ones with the depth. The front ones having less depth throws me. I'd like all four to be like the back. Just my 2 cents but I still really like it. Not trying to...

    Ripped some of my cds to my laptop then put them on a thumb drive to listen to in the 84. Works great! Need to tidy up the wires I see. Lol

    Hook 'em horns! #1 and Arch Manning might be the real deal! My aunt and uncle are disappointed that Georgia lost too.
