Got my DOT5 brake fluid in yesterday. Getting ready to bench bleed (on the truck) and bleed the system. I wonder how many leaks I will have? |
Re: Project Vitamin C-10
May I suggest only as a word of caution to have a water hose handy when bench bleeding the master cylcinder in the truck, Ask me why ?????:waah:

Got the brakes almost bled. I used my vacumn pump and gravity to get it done. I want someone to pump the pedal and do a final bleed. I had a couple minor leaks and tightened easily since the threads had oil in them. i heard of nite mares of sealing up SS brake lines. So far so good. NOTE: Don't mix DOT5 with anything other types of brake fluid. |
Re: Project Vitamin C-10
Nice!
I was going to ask if you had primed your brake lines first. I probably would have used a large syringe and pushed fluid from the top out, but seems sucking it in with a vacuum pump would do the same trick! Why did you go with the DOT 5, any particular reason? It is better for the SS lines? |
Re: Project Vitamin C-10
Wow! Finally all caught back up and all I can say is, Alan, you are the man!! Great job!

I had to respray the door trim panels. I used a new clear today that dries in 20 minutes with no heat. It really lays out nice. It's great for small jobs. If I remember right it is Deltron DSC 2000. They also have a 3000 and 4000. To my knowledge so far the 3000 dries a little slower and the 4000 is really slow. I installed the trim panels and was hoping to check the doors off the list as being done. Then I discovered I can't find or hadn't ordered the inside door handle. |
Re: Project Vitamin C-10

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
Did you add the p-side arm rest?
I was noticing on a lot of these trucks, only the driver got them. I remember on the one we had when I was a kid being a tad perturbed because I didnt have an arm rest to .... well .... rest my arm on! My truck doesnt have it, and I will be adding it. Why did you have to repaint your glovebox door by the way? |
Re: Project Vitamin C-10
Looking good !!!!

I had to repaint the glove box due to memory loss. ;) I used BC/CC on the inside of the cab because it's easier for me to get everything covered. i generally have a problem getting the edges covered. When I sprayed the glove box door the first time it fried up on me. Well 2 years later I finally spray it with the bed. I did the outside in single stage. It wasn't a perfect match. That's why I had to redo it. Quote:
Got the glove box door hung, but discovered the stricker is MIA. I guess I will just make one since they aren't available. I thought I might could use one of my old cab thinking the striker would be the same from the Impala to a truck. It wasn't there. Looks like the hole pattern is the same. I'll figure out something. I'd like to see what it's suppose to look like. |
Re: Project Vitamin C-10
That dash and glove box door sure are looking good! Keep it going together and we will keep cheering you on!

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
looks great allen, all i can say is your the man:metal:i know i have said this before but that dash is sweet.
|
Re: Project Vitamin C-10
Alan the stricker is only a small piece of medal with a raised portion in it to catch the "button" . I looked at a friends of mine and his looks just like the one on my 57.

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
Man I haven't checked in forever,looks like its moving along nicely! Also I have become a big fan of speed clear you can do colision damage/spot repairs in one day vs having to wait 24 hours to sand and buff... Looking good Alan!!
