What have you done to your square lately??

[ChuckN]

So I figured it out today and got her fired up! First time she has ran in probably ten years. I’m happy as can be. The ignition has something loose inside the column. I hit the steering column a couple times and the starter started clicking again. I checked with a tester at the battery terminal and had power and checked at the terminal from ignition and that had power. So I started checking grounds. Couldn’t find one the the engine. Really all I could find besides headlights and hood was the battery to the frame. So I added a ground to the engine and she fired right up. Took a couple sprays of starter fluid but she started idling fine. Still has some old gas in it. Fairly certain the tanks are about empty so I might throw in a can of Seafoam and new gas and see where she goes from there. Took the shell off too. Hated it. Wish I could add a video, is that possible? I’m brand new to this forum.

Well, now your username matches the truck! Good job! She sparks now

Let the meds clear from my brain, and took the truck out for a cruise. Turns out that a bench seat is really comfy to slide in and out of after knee surgery.

The streets were quiet and empty this morning- always wanted to get a picture in front of the old city hall building, it was on my list. I also cruised over to the Chevy dealership to get a picture there too, but I guess business is too good right now, couldn’t even get close to the sign.

After that, I cruised through all the O’Reillys to see if they had the holiday M2 squarebody release, no one had any. After that, I went back to Walmart to see if they had that 1:24 M2 for @TotalyHucked but no dice there either. Oh, well- beautiful morning for a drive and I can’t get over how nice and drivable my truck is nowadays.

The O'Reilly's I bought my calipers and hoses from, a week ago, didn't have any of the M2 ornaments yet. When I took the caliper cores back Wednesday, they'd come in....and all that was left was the Chevy van and the Dodge pickup. No square body dually....

So after passing emissions, I went to the local place that issues plates and handles paperwork and decided to get a personalized one for the first time. Not everyone will get it but an honest answer is I don't care what that person in their Prius thinks.

I saw it as "Patina Squared" . The close second that the counter girl liked better was "PAHTINA", I also thought of "NEEDPNT" . I had to explain what the intention of the plate was for to the State of AZ which surprised me.

I am still working on the interior and finally gave up trying to fit the ACC carpet I purchased from "Stock Interiors". It doesn't fit, I have had it too long to return it and had cut it trying to make it work. I had purchased from them in the past but the truth is, their listing for a '87 4x4 steers you towards a high hump carpet. If you go to the ACC site, it provides a totally different part number specific to 4x4, it's obviously different. I ordered it through Rock Auto. I will post again once installed and comment on its fit. The listing shows '81-86 as one part number then '87 being a different. Another issue I had with the carpet and door panel carpets I initially purchased was the nap was too short, it looked and felt cheap, I ordered the thicker carpet and am much happier with it. After fighting with this and then biting the bullet to cut my loses and just buy what I really wanted in the beginning, I also invested in a interior sound deadening kit from LMC, a roof one from Summit and some additional butyl pads and foil backed foam pads from Amazon
