Re: 67 C-10 project.
well, today i started off by getting baby some new shoes! two new BF Goodrich Radial t/a 245 60/r15's. YA! He's mobile again...then i pushed it out into the driveway and used some simple green on the engine bay and started degreasing it as best as i could. i removed my brake master cylinder, and the remains of the brake lines. Then i looked at mounting the prop valve down on the crossmember on the frame. but i didn't get it mounted. I guess i'm still undecided on what to do there. i did find that the brake rod that goes through the firewall is long...or i guess i should say the indent in the master cylinder from the 79 is too shallow? anyone know if i take that circlip out, can i swap thos peices that the brake rod goes into?i'm not sure they are the same size. So, anyways, i didn't get very far on the brakes. So then i tackled the steering. i have my manual steering box mounted to the frame, and after some trial and error and a couple hours, i finally got the steering linkage and everything all hooked up. just temporarily so i can steer it untill i get my kit from GMC Pauls. then i dinked around and cleaned up the shop and tried to better organize things...it was a fun day! Looking forward to tomorrow!
