    Backing plate replacement?

    Replacing the rear axle (current one is mismatched gear from the front, don’t ask why). The one I got to swap in has pretty crusty backing plates, how hard and what is involved in removing them? Guessing I’ll need to remove the axle shafts?

    New to tbi, no start 87 blazer

    Alright, buddy just got a 87 blazer 350 tbi. Trying to start, we can see the throttle body shooting fuel into the intake, it turns over and will run off starter fluid for a few seconds. Seems to be getting fuel, but we only hear the pump when we Hotwire across the fuel pump relay. New plugs and...

    Leaky sm465

    awesome! This was what I was hoping; something I can handle. I’ve replaced the motor in this, and dropped trans in my other truck before, so I think I can tackle this. Thank you!

    Leaky sm465

    Wondering if I need a whole re-seal or just get it rebuilt. Leaking right where the bell housing mates to the trans. Shifts fine, drives fine, just gotta keep an eye on the level. How hard is it to do yourself?

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Well it’s been a while I’ve been busy as hell; but managed to get some done to the ole girl. New shoes,(33/12.5/15) set me back a good bit but it needed them bad. Finally got it painted! Satin olive and my wife suggests black trim.

    Drove the Mrs and our little one over to my brothers for dinner. Couldn’t not get a shot of our trucks. His is a ‘78 C20. Made me wanna get mine. Second pic is when I picked mine up and hauled it home with his.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Been busy, but managed to get some stuff done recently. Properly installed my choke, and finally got my extended brake lines on! 24 inch braided stainless steel, much better and can turn fully without stretching them. And got my ladder rack on. Looking like a work truck now.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    I attempted to install my new extended braided brake lines in front today. No go! The block on the end of the hose (at the caliper through which the banjo bolts goes) is about 1/8” thicker than stock. Stock bolts only gets about 3 threads into the caliper and it leaks. Ordered longer bolts and...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    I just put a brand new gas tank, sending unit and stuff in in December, so now I’m thinking maybe vacuum leak or carb? I bought carb used for $100, so I wouldn’t be surprised if that’s what’s acting up.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Curious what y’all’s thought will be on this. Due to my own poor planning I was running out of gas, on fumes basically. The only gas station around didn’t have ethanol free which is what I’ve always been told to run in carbureted vehicles. I fill her up on regular, about half a tank. Next day it...

    New leaf springs!

    Even with weight on it, there not negative now which I like. Heavier duty than stock but didn’t lift it more than an inch or so

    What have you done to your square lately??

    The wife really did me a solid and let me spend all day on the truck. Sound deadening foam and rubber flooring, and new front leaf springs. It’s insane how much quieter it is now. Gotta get the back evened out now that the front is a bit

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Drove her to the gas station for beer, but.... Upon returning home I noticed my neighbor was out working on his square. Ever since we moved in in 2019 I’ve loved it. He’s retired from the Air Force, early 70’s, cool dude. He bought his truck brand new off the lot in 1987, Silverado 4wheel Drive...

    New leaf springs!

    As is my custom now, before purchasing an item online I’ll drop a thread in here to get insight from all you knowledgeable fellas! It’s that time in the revival of my old ‘79 that I replace the leaf springs. Went back and forth about lifting it etc, for now I’m going to keep it stock. So...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Finally got it looking half decent from about 30 feet! Little man helped me out. Primed it all, almost ready for my budget paint job. Getting rhino liner off....such a pain. Think twice before applying it.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Finally got around to putting my flywheel dust cover on! Was able to avoid taking the oil filter off to get that too screw in, I was losing light and didn’t wanna mess with all that. Poor truck hadn’t had a cover on for years, the holes for the screws were packed full of grease and grit. When I...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Wrapped up the fence around our house and got a little sketchy with a 16ft cattle gate. Thankfully it wasn’t a far drive. Got a load of lumber too, lots of heavy treated stuff and she pulled great. Definitely need to get a trailer!
