I got the inner fenders loosely installed.
Attachment 2281431 Then I remembered this problem with the lower fender mounts. I am thinking I will try and see if I can redo what I removed. If anyone has any advice, I’m all ears. It’s the same on both sides. I know the correct repair is to replace the pillars, but I am not ready for that project. Attachment 2281432 Attachment 2281433 Before I disassembled the front end, it had these large concave washers installed by the PO, something like below. Attachment 2281434 Attachment 2281435 |

I do have these, I could try to carefully cut through just the outer layer of sheet metal, just wide enough to bolt these in. I think that will be a better interim solution.

I got the fenders and grille bolted up loose today. I think the body lines will be ok for now without shimming the body and core support mounts.

Sounds good. I like the SS caps. What wheels did you use?

Thanks. These are 15” wheel vintiques series 62, custom backspace.

Thanks!

Your interior looks nice! Now I know what mine will look like since it also came from the factory in the same colors but mine did not have AC and mine will have cloth inserts in the bench seats.
Good job! |
Re: project "C10 Fever" (68 factory black 396 swb)
Thanks!
Mine came with fawn interior originally but I like the red much better. I decided since I’m not going 100% factory I would make the seat match the door panels rather than the cloth inserts. |
Re: project "C10 Fever" (68 factory black 396 swb)
I'm assuming you had to lengthen the front wiring harness to run the headlight wiring inside of the front fender? Did you just splice them in or replace all wiring new? I've been thinking about doing this, it's a much cleaner look.
Nice work on your daughters truck! Rg |

Nope the harness is good as-is, other than I need to add in side marker lights |

Not yet. I’m waiting until my 12-yo daughter and I both have some time to install them together. She says it’s “her truck” haha so I told her she better help me work on it.

These are perfect.
My daughter loves them. She is ready to drive it. My wife came in the garage too and said “you realize you’re never selling this truck”… lol Attachment 2362315 Attachment 2362316 |
Re: project "C10 Fever" (68 factory black 396 swb)
I love the red! It's so bright.
My son has put dibs on my 68. My daughter wants the 93. |

Re: project "C10 Fever" (68 factory black 396 swb)
I do enjoy looking at pictures of that red interior. Never gets old.

Re: project "C10 Fever" (68 factory black 396 swb)
That truck looks like a beast. When I started wanting to do a truck project, this is exactly what I visioned. I’ll trade ya!

I've been following along, and as others noted that red interior looks amazing!
Definitely like the 2nd iteration of the seat upholstery, and the 'subtle' detail of the dash area painted black against all the red, ...man that thing pops! Awsome work , this truck is perfect :) |
