Managed to mount the radiator overflow tank and PS reservoir, today. Waiting on a couple of 90 degree fittings so I can connect the last PS hose.

Went in for an inspection, rolled out with an oil change, recharged air conditioning, and topped off fluids.

Detailing - cleaned all the window rubber gaskets and polished all the window brightwork. Good for another 51 years

I had somehow missed this thread. Very impressive!

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

Fresh layer of penetrol.

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.

I found the squeak that was coming from the back of my cab. I tightened the rear cab mounts, and the noise is gone.

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

Found the cranking problem with the 72 . Couple of messed up teeth on the flex plate . New one is on the way should be here tomorrow.

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

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 .

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

No shim ,it’s a Powermaster had a good gab when I installed it a few years ago . Think the damage was before my ownership and it got worse over time . I should have inspected the flex plate more thoroughly.

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.

Here’s pics of the front sway bar installed on my 68 C10 last weekend. I used an original C10 bar with CCP mounting brackets and poly bushings.

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

Nice thanks for posting my front is done and need to do the back have what I need just haven’t got there yet but this is a motivator

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

Yep, understand. Just so you know for the rear bar I installed you will need to drill (6) holes (at least for a 67-72 c10). Good luck👍

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

Rear bearings and shoes

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

Nice install, what diameter is the rear bar??

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

I installed a rear bar many years ago on a long bed truck that already had a front bar. The rear bar really made a difference in steering response and how flat the truck stays in corners. I mean, we're not talking Camaro, but it was a major improvement!

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

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

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

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.

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

Grill came out great .

All of the bearings and 2 of the races came today just waiting on the outer races and grease seals . At least there are no Chinese parts going on the truck . USA and Japan

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

Thanks, I notice the difference. Glad I did it. Here are the details on the bar I installed:

1963-1972 Chevrolet C10 /GMC Truck 1-1/8" Rear Sway Bar Kit CPP

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

Thx Mike, yes I can feel the difference.

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

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

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

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 .

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

Thanks, I installed one back in the mid-90's on my 72 C20 that was 7/8" diameter. I been wanting to go to this larger bar. Looks like I will be talking to CPP for sure.

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

Probably my all-time favorite truck color!

My dad had a gold 67 Impala 2dr hardtop with gold vinyl interior. Probably a different gold, but it was super cool!

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

The saddle fawn poly that’s on my stepper is a little lighter and has more metallic than the anniversary gold .

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.

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

I've used an engine degreaser that's citrus-based. Not too harsh, and your engine bay smells like a bag of oranges for a while. I'll have to dig to remember the product name. They still make it, but stopped promoting the Citrus angle on the label. Of course I'm partial to oranges. My 292 is Chevy Engine Orange, and I resprayed the valve covers on the Jimmy's 350 in C.E.O. for my asmusement. A Mr Goodwrench crate motor, it was a boring black.
