What have you done to your square lately??

[just_some_guy]

Nothing to my truck but helped my buddy put a fresh windshield in his ‘73. NEVER. AGAIN. 2 windshields, 6hrs and every ounce of patience we had later, it was finally in. That might very well be the hardest thing I’ve ever done

I JUST got through watching a YouTube video with that guy and that truck. Said it started its life as a Georgia DOT truck with AC Delete and that he had located a factory tach for it at some point. I just had a windshield put in my '85 Blazer and I wasn't about to try it myself. There's an auto glass shop literally a mile from my house. I paid $200 for everything plus they dropped me off and picked me back up when it was finished. I'm taking it back Wednesday to have them put chrome locking gaskets in the windshield and the two back side windows.

That’s a deal.I watched that dude Kevin for LMC struggle with the windshield install.The chrome trim made it look difficult.He gave it a 5 on the difficult level anyway.

Are you the dude on the right with the heat gun and mustache? I saw you the other day in the UBT video talking about what to look out for buying a square.

What did you have issues with? I've always thought the windshields in these trucks were fairly easy. The biggest problem I had last time was I couldn't find my little special plastic stick. I had to use a wooden paint stick to get the lock strip installed.

I have a little tool that came with my last chrome trim kit I got from Brothers. I'll look for it and take a pic. It took no time to replace the trim.

You have much better technique than me then. I bought a new windshield for $110 delivered to my local LKQ. Took a friend and I about 30-40 minutes to install it. I then spent 45 minutes getting about 16" of the lockstrip installed. Finally gave up and ordered the tool. When it arrived , I had the whole thing installed in about 10 minutes.

I put a new grille (with new emblem and spacers) and headlight bezels on last night. The new grille really brings out the ****** paint job on there right now. Also put on an air deflector and a cheesy rat rod pineapple hand grenade shifter knob for the transfer case.

Drove it to the gas station for snuff.

Ran the a/c on the way back.

No big deal, except a week ago we were just beginning the arctic blast...

One crazy roller coaster of weather.

Sometime earlier in the past week I hit a very large (read long) pothole on my way to school and the small exhaust leak became much larger, on the way to work it sounded like a mud truck. 4 of the six bolts at the header flanges had their nuts disappear and one bolt missing, oops. Seems to happen about once a year with the header buddies (bulb shaped pieces so no gaskets).

Got it reconnected and I don't want to hit myself in the head with a brick anymore. It may just be placebo, but I could feel a noticeable increase in driving performance with the exhaust properly sealed than open headers more or less, guess that is the scavenging doing its magic.

Man I hope that grenade doesn’t grenade that transfercase

repaired the big crack in the washer fluid reservoir today. One part of it was about 1/8" wide. Used grizzly snuff can for filler plastic. If it does it again and I'll go to the Total Boat Resin.

I used the battery powered soldering iron I got off amazon. Looks like Home Depot has them as well.

Washed it, replaced the turn mark housings, pulled out the junk radio the kid I bought it from put in. Lucked out though, he cut the bezel, but did not hack the dash, he knocked the heater/AC panel behind the dash and stuck the radio in its hole.

Yep, that’s Rocky. Dude’s cool as hell. He’s a firefighter here. That truck is real cool, AC/radio delete and he’s put in a HOT 350/700R4/3.73 combo with some longtubes and black widow mufflers, she’s rowdy lol

We will certainly be paying a glass guy next time lol. Luckily one of our buddy’s dads (the guy in black next to Rocky) is a retired glass guy. He came to help with the second one

Nah, that’s Rocky. Though I am in a couple UBT videos, I’m the red headed guy with the beard they talk to in a couple videos when they came up to AMD to visit us

We couldn’t get the damn thing to slide into the upper half of the gasket. Once we had the retired glass guy there to help (the big guy in the black shirt), it went alright but it sure did fight. It was tight as hell, the gasket was cold cuz the shop was old and it just did not want to cooperate. And we didn’t have rope either, so patience and those little plastic spoons and lots of slapping lol
