What have you done to your square lately??

Well I attempted to get mine out today to take to a local show this evening. Brake pedal straight to the floor. Slid the cover back on and will deal with it another day.

At least it decided to have a brake failure in the garage instead after I started down the road with it.

That sounds like my luck!! Just like the other day when i went to put new rotors on the gfs traverse... jacked it up and yanked the wheels and realized, i forgot the damn rotors at home!!!! FU(K!!!

I bought a cheap refurb hp laptop and the HP tuners suite so I can tune my stuff myself! Wideband kit is on the way then the fun will begin.

This may have been a mistake because I have had many wonderful conversations about The Truck that started with a single question. People always ask me, "What year is that Truck?"

I did this because all too often at car shows I don't know exactly what year something is and I find myself wishing for SOMETHING to clue me in.

got the truck back from paint. Well I got a $500 paint job for sure. Was planning on buffing out the orange peel, but there's enough trash in the paint to not bother. Live and learn. I'll put pics up later.

Today I'm assembling the passenger door guts. Hopefully get that and the door harness installed in the cab today or tomorrow so I can start driving it again.

well the GMC is currently waiting on me to finish building the seat mounts for the bucket seats and building them too tall-- head up against the roof! soon as i get that done then time for the new floor mat and finish painting interior moulding!!

I started disassembly of the rear end to day in preparation for the disc brake conversion. I was a bit surprised when I started taking the rear end apart. I got the rear end 20 something years ago in trade for some work I did. It has sat outside since I've had it, who knows how long it sat outside before I got it. I guess I should have check to see if there was oil in it...there wasn't!

My question to the group is...Should I try and clean this one up, or should I try and find another 14 bolt. The other side is in much better shape. I can only imagine the ring and pinion are shot. Which I already had plans on re-gearing to match the front.

Oh dang, that seal surface on the housing looks like Scruffy the Crime Dog... Ruff, ruff, ruff!

 

[Turbo4whl]

The bearing surfaces and nut threads on the housing tube look okay. You'll just need to glue on a speedy sleeve where the seal surface is. Use #2 Permatex, good to go.

Where do you get a speedy sleeve from anymore?

 

[Mr Clean]

Do y'all think the Axle shaft would be fine to just wire wheel it?

If the rest ain't that bad, yep.

Got the passenger side door assembled.....what a pita. Anyway pics as promised. Looks good until you get within 10 ft. Will test harness tomorrow and install if it functions correctly.....gotta at least have the drivers window go up and down.

First, you need a good parts guy. All the part houses can get them, but will they go to the trouble for cheap part?

Advantage I have working on a fleet, we buy lots of parts = lots of money. So they will take the time to help. Do you have a NAPA store near you?

If you can't get one, give me the measurement from the good side, and I'll get you one.
