What have you done to your square lately??

[TotalyHucked]

Are you going to be able to get a windshield before C10’s in the city Saturday?

Oh yeah, we had them in stock, so I got one pulled first thing yesterday morning. Just waiting for my glass guy to come put it in, I think he said he'll be here Thursday

Hit a buzzard doing 45-50mph Sunday on my way up to the shop, shattered the hell out of the windshield. Thankfully it hit dead center and didn't get the grille/hood or roof/cab and thankfully the GF wasn't with me cuz all the glass landed in the pass seat.

Wow that's scarry, I hit a turkey once or I should say it hit me in my 94 suburban. I had just closed my door window and the Turkey launched off the ground hit the driver side mirror and blasted off the driver door window. Took the mirror with it. It would have been a different day if I had still had the window open.

Well, the glass guy was in the area and showed up today. 1.5hr later, got a fresh 'shield. Reused the gasket and lock strip too, so saved a bit there. It looks so naked now without all my stickers lol

Also had to go with a tinted w/tint band cuz we were out of the clear. Was worried it would look weird but you can barely tell the difference, so no biggie. I plan to do the other 5 windows in 20% later so it won't matter at that point

I just pegged my Speedometer at 85! Downhill, but, hey.. 250-6 3 speed on floor. 44 years old, never been apart.

Correct, Krylon Dull Aluminum O’reilly’s
Couldn’t be happier, went on easy, dried fast and looks great!

Not saying the speedo is accurate

I once had a '79 K5 with the 250 under the hood. One day on the interstate, I decided to see how fast it would go. Once it got upwards of 80 mph or so, it started puffing smoke into the interior, through the rust holes in the floor. From that day on, the rear main seal leaked profusely. It ended up going through about a quart every 10 miles.

Some new seals and it'd be good to go. Or, junk the engine for a v8

Lol, I'd just drive it until the rods suddenly started to hammer and it lost all it's horse torques, then pull off the side of the road and dump in 6 more quarts. It would fire right up, clatter for a second, then go right back to running like a sewing machine.

I kept a case or two of oil in the back. You just couldn't kill that thing.

Kept a 5 gallon can of 30 weight and a funnel in the trunk of my 56 150 4 door hardtop.....when the oil light came on, I got out the can and poured some in, by guess and by golly
