I made room in the garage so I could remove the windshield and change the gasket. It had a split at the bottom and water would come into the cab when driving in the rain. Here they are a nestled in. :chevy:

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
 

First picture shows how the old owner used roofing tar to patch a hole or something. When it rained the water would come in and spill on the dash and the floor. Surprised there isn't more rust. You can also see the split at the bottom. The gasket also melted back into petroleum form which also melted onto the dash and I think it protected it from the water and it was rust free so I had to clean all that up and after doing so I sanded some of the surface rust off and coated it with Duplicolor Truck Bed liner.

I also took my automatic steering column apart and repainted it. Don't know if I will stick with the color or not.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
 

I took my wheel off to adjust my front brakes and after about 5 blocks of driving it is pulling right again.
Time for disc.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
 

Got more wood........😚

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
 

I'm thinking you have a bad brake cylinder, weak brake springs or both. Just me thinking. I'm no expert.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
 

I threw new wheel cylinders in not to long ago. I didn't change the springs only because I didn't plan on keeping the drum brakes for to long. The only reason I have not done the brakes yet is I am contemplating a 2" drop or keeping it stock height.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
 

Well, the VHT Chevy orange engine paint went on without a hitch.

Good preparation, cleaning three times over and some head in the steel meant good adhesion.

Rattle cans work well if you,are patient and keep the distance equal on every pass.

Result, three coats on flat surfaces, more on the bends.

Very pleased with the results of today's work.

Almost 01.00 now, so bed time I would think.

Final pic just for Greg "Bomp" in Kaiser, Oregon........... There you go my young friend.

All the boards in to dry fit so we can mark the holes for drilling. I think I see light at the end of the tunnel...

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
 

I have been making new dash and console panels for my 65 C10- it has a custom dash thanks to my efforts years ago to lighten the truck up for bracket racing. I will post a picture after the dash is back together. Today I primed the panels. Monday I hope to paint them satin black.

I also painted the upper A arms for my 66 C30- I pulled them and cleaned them up back on New Years. I also started disassembly of the LWB fleetside bed I bought for the C30.
