Buying a new square...C60 dump truck!
Hey everyone, I’m starting a new project and am needing some direction. I’m purchasing a 1978 C60 dump truck and have some fun plans for a conversion to a large “oversized” square body. I’m planning on using the vehicle for pulling a trailer and or promotional advertisement for my business...- 42Grand

What have you done to your square lately??
I picked up my new QA1 lowered coilover 4 link kit for the rear this morning! Front coilover with drop spindles, uppers and lowers will be here in a couple weeks. Can’t wait to get her dropped down with some killer suspension! Next project will be wheels and tires! -
Oil Pressure Gauge Problems
Awesome! I'll look for that. I'll ask the guys there for a same thread sized 45 degree adapter. I think it'll be fine once installed. Thanks AG!- 42Grand

Oil Pressure Gauge Problems
Ok, thanks for the info guys. The first part I bought was apparently the right part because it was HUGE and I would have had to lift the distributor up some to make room for the unit. What has everyone done in that circumstance? It looks like there is enough clearance once the distributor is...- 42Grand

Oil Pressure Gauge Problems
I have a similar situation. Just swapped my 77 cluster with one from a 78 so I could use the tach. My 77 had a mechanical oil pressure gauge and hard line but the 78 has an electric version. I re-pinned my wiring harness and since I had to run a new wire, I made sure it was pinned correctly. I...- 42Grand

Cluster Interchange Question
Wow! Tons of good info. Thanks a lot! I need to check the tach and make sure it works before I change my harness and go all in. That would be horrible if it didn’t work after all this work. [emoji37]- 42Grand

Cluster Interchange Question
Yes, both have voltmeters. I will for sure have to re-pin. Here are some comparison pics of the wiring that I did just to make sure the wires will be pinned correctly. Couple more questions though... How do I go about checking the gauges to make sure they are the same? My original...- 42Grand

Cluster Interchange Question
I’ll refer to your post while doing more research. The existing cluster has the brake light in the lower left corner, big fuel gauge on right and oil line for oil pressure. New cluster has fuel in lower left, large tach on right and electrical oil sending unit. I cleaned up both assemblies last...- 42Grand

Cluster Interchange Question
I know this is an old thread but I’ve been digging and haven’t found the exact answers I’m needing. I have a 77 with a standard cluster but purchased a used 78 cluster with a tach. Oil sending unit is different and the board is as well. If I swap the board, gauges and lighting, what else do I...- 42Grand

Wheel choices/help me decide
Middle or bottom. Classic with the middle, more match for your truck on the bottom- 42Grand

What have you done to your square lately??
The top is the original insert, the second came off of the panel in the picture. I bought them because they weren’t all rotten like my original ones. I’ve got the wood insert between the passenger ac vents and I didn’t want the chrome in the doors. I bought some wood grain vinyl from amazon for... -
What have you done to your square lately??
I’m getting the truck all dialed in (as much as possible at least) to get ready for GoodGuys and Dino’s this weekend. I got my door panels almost put back together, painted 2 wheels and cleaned all the center caps. Still got a ways to go!! -

What have you done to your square lately??
I grew up driving 4x4's and beater hunting trucks, a 78 square being one of them. I would love to have a Blazer or burb jacked up on 35's! Also wish I had a setup like yours here in the city... Lots of people just asking to be pushed off the road! Haha! I love the bumper though! I'm really... -

She had been rode hard and put up wet then sat in the garage for a month. I decided to wash her up today. Looking at her she sure looks good...but dang she needs a drop BAD! -
Door speaker cover / pod
I've got that exact lower door carpet. I have 6x9 holes cut in the doors from the PO that my carpet is currently covering up. I can always use those holes but regardless I will either cover them with metal or fill them with speakers. My door speakers in all my vehicles have always been down... -

Door speaker cover / pod
Alright guys. I've been doing a lot of thinking lately about my truck. A while back I picked up a pre-owned dash that was recovered. Looks good, not new but in great shape. Since I'm going for a "worn" but not old and run down look, it works great for me. I also got some door panels in the... -

73-80 Chrome brush guard - make me an offer
So I tried to pull it apart but the allen head bolts are bigger than what wrenches I have. I'm going to see if I can find or borrow one from someone and tear it down this week. Sorry for the delay guys. -
