Hi Guys, Old thread, but I'm having the same issue. I just picked up an 80 Suburban with 60k miles and the hood sits high at the back and rattles...
If you google image search dual carb 235, there are lots of cool project ideas. Offenhauser makes a cool one. :)
Beautiful. That's my favourite colour combo. Combined with a 235 and dual exhaust, it makes my heart go pitter-patter. If she's got dual carbs...
Quality of tires Flatspotting is a good suggestion as well. Pictures won't really show a problem though, the damage is usually internal. Best...
Tire separating? That's the first thing that comes to mind, anyway. Sometimes they can get better as the tire warms up.
Tires as well. Love the truck! I've found that wider tires can really ruin the way those old trucks steer. If you go with a skinnier tire up...
That might be your problem. You shouldn't have to touch the throttle at all if the engine is hot. I'm guessing your plugs are fouled now, which...
Wiring, eh? I'm assuming that everything else works? (Headlights, etc) It's weird to me that it wouldn't bump-start, but if there's one thing...
Out and getting about. Snow melted a few weeks ago and it finally stopped raining last week. Truck is out front and on the driveway. Pulled the...
Nice truck! It's great to see another one ton guy on here. I love mine :)
Good stuff. Thanks guys. I'll try that paint tip and see if it's any better. Nate, I can't find these gauges you're talking about (the 52...
Stock gauges I've got rebuilt stock ones that I like the look of, but my only problem is I find the backlight really poor. Has anyone upgraded...
Wow... Man that's a gorgeous looking truck! It'll look a lot nicer than my 52, when it's all done.
This is something I'm interested in myself. Here's a site that I've found really helpful, since making my truck as quiet as possible is one of my...
Interesting... In Canada we only got km/h gauges starting in '77 or '78, pretty sure the latter. My 52 is a Canadian model and it's still in mph....
Cool truck, dweb! You and are in a similar situation, in that we both traded for our trucks and they're both 52's. Keep us posted, because you've...
Sorry, I must not have been clear. I'm referring to the link that was posted above. This:...
I'm not sure why that guy went that route... In my experience, pine doesn't hold stain (it goes patchy after awhile). Not to mention that it's an...
Thanks, Mark. That's something I've wondered. I've seen my poor dad ruin a paint job - that he had countless hours into - with the wrong cover....
