Re: 61K10 build

Randy--will outlast me for sure and will be in the garage. dropped my seat off to get recovered and got my american auto wire kit. you get everything with this kit, but for what you pay they could put the wires in the dash light sockets of course i have to mod the harness to my liking lol.

Re: 61K10 build

I like those dash knobs and especially the shifter knob! they look new, but you & I know they don't make 'em like that anymore.

Re: 61K10 build

Your truck is looking real good and it looks like you have done a great job on it .I have enjoyed reading your post and hope you will post more pictures when it is done.
I have just started on my 1962 K10 and will try and post some pictures when I get a chance .I have the body of and have found another cab . I have had to fix a rusted place on the frame right under the transfer case and I'm in the process of cleaning the rest of the frame so I can paint it.
Thanks for posting your build on your truck.

Re: 61K10 build

well guy's no pics but did get my brakes completely bled, and corn head grease in the knuckles to protect the surface sum what. I greased the knuckle bearings with wheel bearing grease and i am using regular axle u-joints like open knuckle ones. the amount miles this tk will see in 4wd won't be much.

Re: 61K10 build

Yeah pictures.....nice progress!!!

Also....they make a plug and play light for the glovebox. I've installed them in both trucks. It plugs into the round hole in the top left corner and just plugs in the glovebox.....has a plunger on it so when the glovebox opens it lights up. Not a big deal....but has been nice when just going out to the truck at night and grabbing a wallet or stuff left in the glovebox. Also nice when driving and you don't want the dome light on.....my passengers have read maps by it.

I agree....I've seen what those kits run. I just picked up a complete painless kit for $225 of evil bay. Good price for a 19 circuit kit though considering they sell for over $500. With the pass side alternator and all the factory accessories it should make life somewhat easier after its all in. I plan to take all the wiring from the stepside and put it in the fleetside since its only 3-4 years old. I'll put the painless wiring kit in the stepside.

If you can't find the light, I have a couple of extra "somewhere" too!!!!
