Took driver side door apart and installed new glass and track, lubed up channels and coated bottom inside of door with POR15. Also added correct spacers to window crank and door handle. Window and door operate as they should now.

Expensive way to mask but I have three rolls that were given to me . 3M welding and spark deflection paper . Nice it has a little adhesive to hold it in place

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Mark, it looks like your starter is too far away from the flex plate, if you have a starter shim in there, take it out ........ replace the Bendix as well .

I removed the bed wood to refinish it. My bed wood planks are Birch wood. I finished them many moons ago with polyurethane, that has not held up well. I plan on stripping that off and using an oil instead of a surface coating. I also replace the sending unit because the fuel level float floated away on the last one. I used a plastic float instead of the brass one this time around.

I re-installed my windshield wiper motor with a new washer pump. Kind of a PITA to get the three bolts started, but it all works great. BTW, Rock Auto had the lowest washer pump price by a large margin.
I used cowl-to-motor and shaft seals from GMC Pauls. They are first rate. And this is a great tool for removing and re-installing the wiper arms. Lisle 65750, Dorman 49023 https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/..._AC_SX679_.jpg |

Threw this together today, it's been a long time coming. The outer has been wall decor the last 7 years. Inner was shot, sanded, shot again and a clear coat, needless to say it's much heavier now. Took longer than I thought of course, nylon clips have to be sanded just right. Anyway, we install it tomorrow. Edit, installed. My assistant, really vise versa;), he's body and paint guy dropped these off today. Tires due "in a month", bumpers due "call back in two weeks", and upholstery & flooring is supposed to call, someday. Other than that done.

Nothing actually done to the truck, because it's 30 miles away at my dad's shop for now, but parts boxes are arriving :metal: New master cylinder, soft brake lines, wheel cylinders, brake parts for all the drums, new period correct carburetor has arrived, the rebuilt one that was on it was a pre 68.
Still waiting on the shipment from Cliff's High Performance for the throttle shaft bushing kit and rebuild kit to make the carb as perfect as I can make it. Pic just because |

Uhh oh :lol: I wasn’t happy with the color of the passenger fender and the cowl , I didn’t understand why it was darker than the rest of the truck . When I painted the ammo box a few weeks ago I figured out why . I inadvertently had grabbed the wrong paint I used the 68 Golden anniversary paint . Both cans were open and I just saw gold on the outside . Was a stupid mistake .

Attended the C10 Truck Show in Enumclaw, WA. 200+ C/K-10's from all around the PNW. Found my "taller twin". The red/white '72 took best 67-72. I'm pretty certain this truck has every conceivable option and all items are original, though not factory on this truck.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Took some turpentine and paper towels to the engine to get a bit of the oily guck off of it. I'll get it a bit at a time. Not big on pressure washing, and the caustic cleaners have only the storm drains to go to, so that's out.
