Re: Purchased a 1969 C10 Short Bed - Pleasanton, CA
Like a few others, I just read this whole thread, that truck looks super clean, nice score.
Regarding the fuel smell/system, worth noting (since I ran into this myself) is to check the sending unit pickup 'sock' (filter). This is typically a nylon mesh and over the years can get brittle and 'disintegrate'. After having my carb rebuilt, I started having major gas issues (leaking into the intake). What I initially thought was a poor rebuild, turned out to be fragments of the pickup sock preventing the float needle from seating. Best of luck with the truck, I'll be following along

I got the new reflectors installed, they look pretty good.
I did have to get new slightly longer screws as the ones that came on the truck were too short with the new thick foam gasket.

And some of you may have seen in the other thread but I did pick up a little 350 this weekend. It may be a while before I get to around to the swap however.
