Hello everyone! Not to state the obvious but this is my first post. So a few weeks ago I had a square body come into my life. I found the forums though google websearching for various things about the truck, and I though I should register so I can participate in forums and not just be lurking. Myself. I'm a seasoned mechanic with 25 years in the field, but even still, there is stuff I don't know, but also things I can help with. Moving on....
The first time I ever saw this truck was about 15 years ago, at a camping gathering. A few years later the group disbanded, but some of us stayed friends. With 200 miles apart we never saw each other in person much, so honestly I probably saw the truck around a dozen times and never drove it prior to it being offered to me. Long story short a few weeks ago we went down, got her running and drove her home. She sat quite a bit in the last year, and I've done some fixin' in the last few weeks, but I still have a little ways to go. So far I've, replaced all the vacuum lines, tuned the carb, changed the transmission fluid and filter, replaced the plugs, cap, rotor, wires, fuel filter, thermostat, and coolant, the tank fuel sending unit, and a few other misc things. I've got a little ways to go as well, and a couple questions but I'll post those in the appropriate section.
The truck is a 1984 Chevrolet C20, 700R4. It's pretty much stock other than, the before mentioned dump kit and he put and Edelbrock 1806 on it a couple of years ago, but the original Q-jet was included with the truck.
