Project daily drivable 62 C20

[72cs20]

All you guys doing great work on your trucks has motivated me to try and document the refurbishment of my newly acquired 62 C20. Exterior shots of truck here: http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=703157

My goal is to bring this truck to a condition where it will be reliable transportation. Safety features like a dual circuit brake master cylinder and seatbelts will be added. All the other systems will be gone through completely :

Cooling
Fuel
Brakes
Electrical
Steering
Drive line(u-joints, carrier bearing)

This is a good starting list. So far I've started with a good cleaning of the interior and cowl areas. I've also removed most of the old cooling system parts.

The cowl area was packed to the hilt with cedar tree needles. I removed all of the cowl panels and used a screw driver to break up the needles and vacuum them out. Still have a bit more to do and also make sure the drains are clear.

Also looking for any sign of rust in these areas and only finding a few spots of minor surface oxidation. Yay!
