Hey fellas. I just joined the square body world and had a question. I have a 1987 Scottsdale. The parking lamp on the left side doesn't work when turNed on, but the bulbs blinks when I use turn signal. Any suggestions on this issue? Thanks.

[joe231]

Welcome!
Replace the bulb. It's a dual filament bulb. The park light filament is most likely broken/bad.

Hey Joe, thanks man. I changed the bulb the first day i got it. Maybe the new bulb is bad too?

[joe231]

Hmmm,

Could be many things. Bad socket, bad wire, broken wire, bad splice, ect.

[87square]

OK I figured. Thanks for the input Joe.

[joe231]

No problem, wish I could help more. If you have a multimeter you could start by checking for voltage in the light socket.

I do have one. I'll check that over the weekend. Thanks for taking the time to add your imput. I'm new to this forum and this is my 1st c10.

Wowzers!! Impressive build man! Truck looks freaking awesome! Where in Northern Cali are you from? I need to paint my wheel wells myself and a few little details, but the truck is pretty clean. Last owner took really good care of it.

[JohnKimble]

Thanks! I'm in the Sacramento area. That previous owner did take good care of that truck by the looks of it! What are your plans with it?

[87square]

Nice. Sacramento, so close yet so far. I'm in SF. Plans are just to maybe throw some wheels on it. Thinking 20 inch Torque Thrust 2s with some meat, but I like the stock rally look as well. I know a ton of people have that combo but i really like that classic look. It has a 350 with 120k original miles and a rebuilt 700r. Runs great. I bought it in Brentwood and drove her home in 90+ degree heat and made it home with ease. I was also thinking of going 2 tone with the paint, but I'm sort of digging the simplicity of the all white paint.

Super clean! Looks good how it is. Really like SF. The old lady is from a little north of there around Marin County.

[87square]

Haha! Marin is nice too. Thanks for the compliments, I may just keep her thus way for a while!

Thank you sir!

What do you guys think about these wheels? I'm thinking 22x8.5/10. Truck is lowered 3/5. Would I encounter any major issues with this set up? Any input would be great especially if any of you are running 20s or 22s on your squares. Thanks.

No rubbing issuse if you get the right backspacing

[87square]

What's the right BS? Most guys on here say 5" up front and 5.5" out back? Sound correct?
