New shoes cylinders and hoses .

Today I made up some new lines for the 68 . Old lines were good but someone buggered up the fittings looked like they used vise grips to loosen them . I don’t use the flare tool all that much but it definitely makes life easier

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
 

I have that same flaring tool. It works great. Nice job on the bending.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
 

Nicely done Oregon!!

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
 

Good job Mark...Your a one man band when it comes to mechanics!

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
 

The nickel copper lines make the bends easy I used the bending tools just for the sharp bends
There are many that run circles around me .

Went to Put on the parking brake cable on the stepper get it in and the end don’t fit the brake handle. Getting real tired of parts that aren’t right .I even cross checked the numbers before ordering it on several sites all said 67-68 trucks . Wondering how I’ll remedy it.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
 

Well that was easier than I thought . Little grinding and a few slits and now I’ll just put a tack weld on the cut and it’s done . Took all of 15 minutes so far

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
 

Where there is a well there is a way!!

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
 

Jacked it up to remove the sway bar and install its lowering brackets. Then I might get going on the steering joints replacement.

Black Vinyl on a Cheyenne Super?

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
 

That was on the original SPID and I am adding the Super bit to my truck (just need to add the fender badges). Here's a photo of the cab, the headliner is black too.

For reference, here is my original SPID

Today I add a "68-72 Chevy/GMC C10 Truck Chrome Ignition Switch Key Chain Scratch Guard" (KEY0849-386) from JLFabrication. Took forever to get it because it was back ordered. My keychain was really working a number on the dash paint.

Today was productive, I got a new hood seal installed, leaf guards under the cowling and another coat of sweet patina on her today. Even got rain X on all the glass.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
 

What a beauty

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
 

I got the fenders and grille bolted in loosely. I really need to get this back on the road, it’s sooo close.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
 

That looks good , I got one for the 'Burb and another for my Blazer. Neither one installed yet.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
 

Looking good.:metal:

Replaced the brake booster today.
Now it really stops! As soon as I'd start the truck, the pedal was sucked to the floor.

I was noticing the engine not running as smoothly, and it was a vacuum leak in the booster. Apparently, cause now it stops like it was new and the engine purrs like it should.

Happy that's all it was.

Installed a/c vents and radio.

finally buttoned up the last of my brake lines to complete quite possibly the longest disk brake conversion in history

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
 

Thought I buttoned up the 68 Goldens brakes . Bled the system no air in the system but the rears aren’t working properly I have firm brake peddle the rear is weak if I put it in drive at idle the Speedo goes to 15 mph hit the brake it slows to about 4 or 5mph . I ordered a new master as this one looks to be a rebuilt but it doesn’t look like the correct one . It is rectangular and has two equal rectangular reservoirs. I ordered a new Acdelco

The passenger front shoes were heat damaged the drum cut without an issue so that’s a plus . Had to use the grips to hold the old rear rubber brake hose fitting was buggered up so the line wrench didn’t hold , the hard line came right out without any issues as did all the rear lines . Love New Mexico trucks
