Re: Purchased a 1969 C10 Short Bed - Pleasanton, CA
I just read through this thread. Nice truck and a great find. I'm subbing to watch and possibly offer advice if needed.

The easiest way to remove and install a dash pad is to have the cluster, radio and glovebox removed to access the nuts. Otherwise it is easy.

RE: gas fumes in the garage. Seems like there may be a few potential sources for this, especially the leak at the carb. However, I'd also suggest replacing that gas cap. My truck that otherwise appeared leak-free had a cracked gas cap gasket and filled the garage with fumes. Replacing with a new cap took care of the issue. Make sure it's a "year-appropriate" cap, meaning it's a vented vs. a non-vented cap. Classic Heartbeat, a forum vendor, supplied a nice locking cap.

I need to get that old carb pulled off and addressed along replacement of the rubber fuel lines. Those are really old and soft.

Nice truck
The engine could be a 230. I have a 69 Short Step low option (ex US government truck) and thought it was a 250 until the machine shop found out it wasn't at rebuild time. Bruce |

Not Bruce, but if it is a 250, it should say L22 on the SPID according to this website-
