Re: Another Squarebody Project: 78 c20 custom deluxe

So the first thing that had to be addressed on the truck was the clutch pedal.
It was super hard to press down and would get stuck to the floor when I would press the pedal over half way down. The cause of the problem was the pedal pivot bushings where completely shot causing the pedal to bind. I made some bushings and replaced them so the pedal is now a little easier to push but it's still much harder than I would prefer. This truck has the over center style large clutch pedal spring it was a dog to get off so I could remove the pedal arm to replace the bushings and there was no way to get it back on after ward so for now it's not being used. I will have to remove the entire pedal bracket assembly from the the truck to be able to reinstall the spring. For those that are not familiar with the over center style clutch pedal spring you can do your own research or I will explain when I revisit this situation at a later date.

Next I rebuilt the carburetor. It was my first time rebuilding a quadrajet but the truck does run and drive after ward however Im not sure it's tuned up 100% for proper 4 barrel function but I will revisit that later as well.

Next major deal was replacing the rear axle drum seal that was leaking
