I ordered my 15"x12"weld wheels and 29"x15.5"x15" hoosier tyres then i changed the water pump (old one orange and rattley)to a weiand polished one.

I pulled off my power steering pump and took it to oreilly's. They ordered one out of their warehouse. It wouldn't fit the brackedt off the old one.Finally found one from tne 90's that would fit the mounting bracket.
will put it on the truck tomorrow

Hey all!

I'm a newbie! Well actually I've been cruisin the forum for a while, but finally decided to register.

Dadsworktruck (my dad) and I removed rusty rear cross members, shock mounts, and front bed mounts from "one-piece" yesterday. I blasted the 2 flat bed mounting plates today since they were salvageable, and painted them satin black.
Did some other work in the shop as well as some sanding on the rear of the cab and hole/dent repairs around the passenger side rear of the cab.

Hopefully we can make ole one-piece look pretty decent with a little time and alot of sweat and busted knuckles.

Bed mounts:

Pick up a new bumper from Bow Tie bits the other day. They have great prices. It was a very nice day so I decided to tackle it. I also removed the tow hitch since I wont ever be towing with this truck ever lol.

Old bumper off


Huge dent on the right side. Tired of looking at it.


Hitch gone and new bumper on! So much better.

Well a couple of days ago, I mounted the 9 way power seat switches for the Pontiac Bonneville bucket seats in the wood console on the 67 C10. did I mention they are gray leather? Found them on Craigslist for a hundred bucks.
