Digging the Ron Francis reverse relay dome/courtesy light conversion kit for our trucks. Did a quick test last night.

Got the carpet installed along with Pro Scat seat bracket this past weekend.

Jferrante · 02-19-2018, 01:54 PM

Painted the engine

f66 · 02-19-2018, 07:11 PM

I bought a 66 C20 that on the good side is very original and rust free. The bad, it had been sitting for many years, not running, bad gas, and every hose that carries fluid dry rotted. I have been slowly working through the process of assessing what can be rebuilt, and getting it on the road. The end goal is a restoration and for me is to have a solid daily driver. Completed a clean and rebuild of the carb.

Did some disassembly for rust repair and paint job. Cleaned and repainted the gauge cluster...(yellow before, black after)

**Palf70Step** · 02-20-2018, 11:12 AM

That gauge panel looks great

62chevy302 · 02-23-2018, 07:20 PM

62chevy302 · 02-23-2018, 07:23 PM

Jeffh · 02-27-2018, 08:14 PM

Put on new exterior door handle gaskets. Dropped the clutch head mounting screw down inside the door and spent half an hour trying to dig it out. When I finally did I went around to the drivers side and dropped another one. Have yet to get it dug out, had enough for today.

studeclunker · 02-28-2018, 02:05 AM

Last week I replaced the carb. Runs a lot better however it's now backfiring a bit. Seems if it's not one thing it's another. I think it might be a timing issue...

SkinnyG · 02-28-2018, 11:27 AM

Rebuilt the front wheel cylinders. Last week rebuilt the twin master. Truck has been sitting for 20 years, and zero brakes, zero clutch, and I haven't tried starting it yet.

jchav62 · 02-28-2018, 11:52 AM

This was over the weekend. New rockers, floor pieces... and that aftermarket fender I bought around 2001 never fit right up front...

lowslow64 · 02-28-2018, 05:20 PM

installed some sheet metal back on truck, seems like I am getting closer!
