It's Christmas - what did you get your square?

What did you get your square this year?

Mine got a 208C for parts, a 700R4 case for mock up, a front drive shaft, a new valve in one tire, and a set of door seals waiting to be installed. What makes this funny is none of my current trucks are 4wd.

Also bought it Mtripacks and crimpers for that big rewire job on the 77. Ass soon as the 87 gets refreshed and the 81 scrapped and...

Re: It's Christmas - what did you get your square?

Santa is definitely dropping off a few boxes for my '79. Coverlay dash cover, dash lens, clock, temp gauge, rubber flooring + I already have a real nice seat cover and Stereo waiting to be installed. Yea Santa! Or is that Visa-Clause?

Re: It's Christmas - what did you get your square?

We're dropping the engine/trans this weekend on my son's '73 to swap out some gaskets, freshen up the block paint and engine bay paint but most importantly are the goodies that santa has in store that he doesn't know about.

Re: It's Christmas - what did you get your square?

Mine is currently on jack stands awaiting removal of the front clip and 454/700R combo. Pulling the drive train for updated paint, while the motor is out the under hood area is getting cleaned up and painted. Refreshing the air ride with new bags, lines, fittings, a VU4, and new compressors. New exhaust including Chevelle/Camaro headers and everything from front to back.

My super nice square ended up getting neglected for the last few years, it's time for her to shine again.

I got Summit Vortec heads (gm) coming tonight too. Your pic of the heads appear that they have screw in studs for the rockers? Did you upgrade to screw in or are those Summit brand vs gm?

Junk yard treasures are better than store-bought! Nice!

that's why I have 5 - if it ain't made of rubber I pretty much try to rob it if possible. CL is my friend! Now if only someone had an 87 GMC 3/4 4wd that needed a body and a motor... and was near me... and cheap... Sigh.
