What have you done to your square lately??

[Ralphs85]

Cleaned and rebuilt the old q-jet on my grandpa's 85 K1500.

 

[Camar068]

Almost finished with the 6.5 component speaker mounts for the cab corners. Letting paint dry. Yeh could be prettier but it's far from a show truck. Probably take off the grill on this one as it's crooked and the other is busted it so it doesn't have one at all. May put a covering to cover up the crap bondo.

Cut the pieces.....kinda, and welded in the pans. I did it in three pieces cause I work on databases for a living and not steel. It worked out fine though. Just spot welding on part at a time. A little heat here and there and for the most part she's together. I have issues to overcome but for my first time I found really enjoy this work.

Took about 4 coats cuz this is the first truck they’ve done with this new product so they were playing with the gun settings and whatnot. This stuff should be out around April/May.

So far today I have driven it to my favorite-ex-brother-in-law's so I could install a soft top on his roommate's Bronco. Last summer I installed the roll bar, I recently installed 3 point seat belts, and today we did the bikini top. I think it came out pretty nice.

I still remember riding around in my buddie's old Bronco back in my late teens in his back yard. He had 3 or 4 beater/parts ones. One had an inline six with 3 on the tree. He had one roadworthy one with a 302 in it. That thing was sick.

Nice, lost art there.

True enough. I imagine that if you know what you’re doing, they’re fine but their reputation precedes them. And I never did learn about them, all the ones my dad had didn’t complain, and they were on vehicles that didn’t even get driven nearly enough.

Went out to the garage. What to do, raining cats and dogs. Hmm.

So I replied the front shocks. I don’t normally get sea sick, but these old Monroe’s were ridiculous. We’ll see how these KYBs are.

Since that went down without a fight, I removed the hitch that I won’t be using anymore, and put on the collectors plate (that came in the mail three months late).

After that, I made some progress with the Edelbrock stutter. It’s much better now, might have to go up one stage per the Edelbrock algorithm.

Tightened up the steering box adjustment a little more. And some other bits and bobs. The weather is supposed to dry out tomorrow, planning for another cruise.

Finally after 3 days of spraying Liquid Wrench, PB Blaster, etc on the upper and lower control arms.......... I finally got the nuts off.
Of course one, buggered up the treads on the very end of the shaft.
Worked to fix that (saved getting a new one)

I suggest the Brother's Truck Parts video (Dave Welch) that shows how to remove the bushings.

I firmly believe everyone who has a Square Body truck should have to replace these bushings at least once.................

Sorry, my computer won't let me post photos for some dang reason.

Carry on

Diagnosing a K20 that showed up from Camp Lejeune. Rear shaft is out & locking hubs are toast. Unfortunately the video is not allowed & wont post. Editors must think it's "truck porn" or something...

So, I changed the oil along with washing & waxing my Square "G" body. Getting ready for Myrtle Beach Run to the Sun this weekend!

I watched that video- looks like about as much of a PITA as I imagined. Kudos to you for taking that on!

I found a set of optional factory forged wheels for my 83 GMC and I've been cleaning them up and polishing them. I've finally got them ready to go. Here's a before and after of the same wheel.
