Hey, I'm a big fan of square bodies from 73 to 80. I hope to own one day. I can't to wait to pick all your brains and get your advice. I'm currently located around Temple, Texas

Nice, I spent a few years stationed at Ft. Hood. There was a pretty good barbecue joint out near Temple we used to go to every once in a while, but I can't remember the name of it anymore.

what cluster is that

That's the OE cluster with a couple of..82 ? Camaro gauges..it's detailed in the C20 build thread. Extra gauge is a placeholder for.....? The gauge inside the tach is functional as is the gas gauge.
I always figured I'd add another temp gauge and hook it to the transmission.

Ever seen this?

I am stationed at hood, it's an interesting post.
ugh, sorry to hear that... there's no escaping the hood:rotflmao:

It was my second duty station, but spent more than 4 years there... kinda. 27 months of that I was deployed, so I guess I only spend 2 years AT hood. All my time there was with 3BCT, 1CD

Why does it have to be a C10 Pickup? What if he wants a K series? Or a Blazer? Or a Suburban? :005:

Anyway, :welcome: from northern IL! Looking forward to seeing your first Squarebody.

The neat thing about liking square bodies is there are about 3 jillion of them out there, especially in rural areas of Texas!
