Mine's kind of in ''paint jail'' as I'm not satisfied with the spraycan color being a correct factory ''Fawn.'' Taking my chances with Duplicolor ''Light Driftwood Sand.'' |

Nice job on the steering wheel Mark.
|
Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Yes, really nice work on that steering wheel. I never thought about epoxy to fill the cracks. What paint is used? I would think things like finger rings would mark up a painted wheel pretty easy.

I probably should have gotten a better core to start with it this one was pretty bad . Hopefully it holds up |
Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Very nice work on the wheel Mark, well done man!
|
Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Yes that wheel turned out real good. :cool:
My truck came with the original steering wheel and it was in good shape but I replaced it with a Grant because that's what everybody else was doing. Then I threw it in the trash because it never occurred to me to keep it. Oops. :waah: |

Test drove it and the seller talked himself down to $400 before I shut him up and bought it. It ran but not all that great so I put in a new 1914cc SCAT motor...BIG FUN! The master cylinder eventually went out so I got another one in 2020 along with all the parts to rebuild the brakes on all 4 corners but I then came down with a serious case of retirement syndrome and it has been sitting ever since. 😴 |

I noticed when taking a picture of my moldy steering wheel that there is a camper propane stove in the background. 🤔 Open the oven door, fire up the 4 burners up top and eliminate one more lazy excuse not to get up there and fix the dang thing. I'll keep you posted. Now back to our regularly scheduled truck stuff. :burnout: |

Got bored and converted a $5 swapmeet original AM radio to Bluetooth. The truck is nowhere near ready for it, so I wired it to a spare battery and some ancient speakers and sounded good.
Gutted the original radio except the tuning shaft and on/off/volume assembly. Removed the back section of the rheostat, which left a shaft I was able to file to fit the Bluetooth on/off/volume knobs. I figured the $18 Bluetooth assembly was worth a try . |

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Yes, the pushbuttons do still work, but the AM radio was dead before I gutted it. So they are just for looks now.

Well this was yesterday, but been spending the last 2 weeks getting the C10 all shined up for a couple indoor shows coming up. Finally had a dry day so yanked the car trailer out of the shop, unloaded the show car and loaded the truck up because its probably gonna be raining on set up day.

^The colors on both of those are gorgeous.
I test fit the React Suspension trailing arm crossmember last night. Freshly powder coated so I had to make sure I didn't scratch it all up. Had to open the holes a little bit to fit the new hardware, super impressed with the fit and finish. |

Not a big deal, but it is to me, Haggerty gave me a 125K guaranteed value on my rebuild, no questions asked after I gave them a 190 row punch list in excel, and 15 images today, which included, spid, build sheet and Vin plate. A jump from 80K, I feel so much better about it. $400 more a year though, too close to 1K annually for perhaps 3-4 hundred miles a year

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Beautiful truck,
What's Haggerty, do you mean Hagerty ?? What does this mean? '' I gave them a 190 row punch list in excel" |

My OCD has its limitations, I rounded every part and that to the nearest $25, and the costs are by memory. I can't speak for their considerations, I'm just content they met my comfort level. |
