Got a lot done the past two days.
My 50 year old tachometer gave up and so a new aftermarket tach went back in. While everything was apart and accessible I went through my entire dash instrument wiring issues for hopefully the last time. ;) Cleaning up and organizing all under the dash wiring checklist: Tachometer and all the following working as they should: Glove box light, Courtesy lights, Cigarette Lighter w/light, Wipers with Intermittent, Heater fan 3 speeds, LED dash/heater control lights and fixed a broken wire to the PRND321 column light. Whew! :barn: :metal: |

Took a very short cruise in the evening after getting the rear end project done. Still need to drive it a bit more, wash all the summer dust off from the last car show, and retorque bolts.

Another beautiful day in the PNW.
I ran some errands today and I had to go to a carburetor specialty shop to get some 3/16” vacuum line for my HEI to manifold vacuum advance. NAPA and all the auto box stores don’t seem to carry it anymore. :confused: Back home I decided to take a short drive with the C10 and noticed a new ticking noise. Rams horn exhaust manifold leak? Yep! Went to retighten the bolts when the forward passenger bolt fell off onto my hand. :mad::censored::m5::cuss::m6: It turns out the restoration shop from “Hell” that I divorced from ;) broke/snapped the exhaust manifold bolt and used blue RTV silicone to hold the bolt in place. Perfect. No one will ever notice:rolleyes: 1 step forward, 2 steps back. It’s gonna be alright, a new day tomorrow :metal::lol: |

Sorry for all of the pics, but I washed mine last night and back in the garage before the Northwest rains begin. It looks as though my trim should be easy to reinstall looking at how lined up both sides are. A future project.

In the last week:
- replaced dog dish cap steel tires with Rallys - replaced front HL bulbs with Octane Bulbs - Added a Headliner - Maintenance, sanded and re-stained wood in bed. Too much work to not maintain. In next few weeks: - Tilt, 1.5 shorter, going from 17" to 15" steering wheel - Front disc brake conversion - window tint |

Too many guys get repainted and don't tell the shop about the design year trim feature -- contrasting color nose -- and just get the face body color, like a '67. :chevy: |
Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
I had a strong Gas Fume gripe inside my '68 C/10 Stepside.
Tonight, I changed out the rubber gasket and steel lockring on the In-Cab Gas Tank Fuel Sender, and also R & R'ed the 10.5'' - 5/16'' ID fuel hose under the cab, that goes from the Sender output to the steel fuel line. New hose clamps too. Hoping that gets rid of the gas fumes in the cab. It's the end of the month and time to hammer the accumulated 1000 VIP gas points from a supermarket chain. Every 1000 points equals a Dollar off the pump price at Kroger and Shell stations. [Circle K dropped out of the VIP program last month.] So I'll fill the tank and see if I still have a fume leak somewhere. |
