What have you done to your square lately??

[Grit dog]

I don’t get to just load mine with beer and go have crab boils like @Redfish ! Lol just kidding.
But I got shocks, rear cab trim and emblems on yesterday!
Dash, tunes and dubs and it will be officially almost kinda done.

I put a coat of paint on the teepee emblems.
Looks like ****. But the color is pretty close to original I think. I tried brushing it on full strength and when I went over the thin spots a second time and it piled up. Gonna thin some out so it will self level on its own for another coat.
It’s some old school bus yellow base coat from 20 years ago. It actually looks like it’s a different color now. The yellow pigment may be fading. Last time I used some was 2011. I had yellow company trucks forever and would fix my whiskey dents!

Never noticed it had a visor. Long live the visor!

Hell yeah Todd!

mmm that's a fine truck there pal. I see you too rock the visor! From what i can tell, looks very well done and you've got a good taste in Square accessories. There is such thing as too much, you on the other hand NAILED it. Another one back on the road!

Thanks! I like it. And our son is blown away. Wants to drive it all the time.
I was gonna can the visor when we redid the truck but it just worked. (And I found out it wasn’t the source of the windshield rust). Otherwise the rest of the 80s Grampa accessories that resulted in 50 extra holes to weld up didn’t make the cut and are in a box.
I’d have rather had clearance lights but couldn’t see fixing 9 holes in the roof just to put 15 more holes in it. And the sheet metal is tweaked and oil canned from the visor so the decision to re-use it was that much easier.
I did actually consider wireless clearance lights at one point (no holes). But they aren’t period correct. And very expensive for what they are.

"Grandpa accessories" you and me both brother. Quick way to ruin a good truck. Good that you also respect period correctness and don't want to add more holes to the rig. And getting your son involved, can't get any better than that. You may be in Washington, but i'd drink with ya.

Cheers man! First (case) is on me if you happen to get lost and end up 2500miles from home!

Here’s my speedy cast pump setup. I knew the new guy was from New England with the fisher plow set up. All I’ve ever had is fisher and all I’ll ever use. Since I’m hopefully going to have squares for life and I’ve got about 6 complete speedcast setups I think I’m good! lol

Freakin awesome!!! I love those setups. New hoses look great!

@Maxwellvis did some big block things over the last couple of days.
He worked on it again last night and it fires and will idle.
It needs the timing set and carb tweeked though.

But it sounds sooo nice now.
You can hear the baby cam in it much better just at idle.

He reports our trusty Quadrajet was having multiple issues, so it will either be shelved or sold off.
The original intake makes a good wheel chock now.

These are from his instagram...

It's now official: spark plugs and spark plug wires are easier to change on my straight 6-250 than on my V8-350. It's not even CLOSE!!!

Oregon has no sales tax. I don’t prefer to think of it as dodging, but rather supporting someone else’s local economy!

New Hampshire has no sales tax either if anyone in the Northeast is looking to dodge the sales tax.

Got the Y pipe installed today. Waiting on the intermediate pipe and tail pipe now. "Supposed" to be here Friday.

Washed the rear frame this morning. Getting it ready for the cleaning, painting and rewiring that it so desperately needs. So glad i finally dug into this truck. Sucks to just stare at such a thing. . .
