Re: 1980 Chevy C10 - Ugly but Functional
Fuel tank is mounted and fuel lines are run - need to shorten the main fuel feed line by quite a bit, which I'll do today.
Got the driveshaft hooked up - was just being dumb about needing shorter strap bolts. Just need to get them started before I full seat the U joint.
Got the shift linkage hooked up last night - had to shorten and bend the shift rod, and flip the lock nut backwards, but it hits at least PRND reliably. I will probably want to do something better ultimately (maybe floor shifter or something) but it works for the time being and gets me driving.
We are about to get hit with a pretty good snow storm so I am trying to button everything up on the underside of the truck today, besides exhaust. Only thing I have left under the truck is to clean up and wrap some wiring that runs near the exhaust manifold, wire up the fuel level sender and secure that and the fuel power wire, secure the fuel filter and fuel lines, and trans cooler lines.
Then its just cooling system, heater, and exhaust.
