Re: Project Vitamin C-10
Hey Alan, my truck had a replaced wood bed when I bought it and it had the rubber pads. You can see in the pic of it turned upside down where they were. You'll see the black area on the crossbars, and one of the pads is still on in the upper left of the pic.
![]() Sorry I dont have a pic with it mounted, but the bed gap was pretty darn close. I'll see if I can find a pic.

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
Hey Alan, I got a question for you. I see that you used a 72 rearend in your truck, so I was wondering what you are doing for your emergency brake set up? Can I use the e brake cables out of the old 65 rearend and hook it up or is the 72 way different? Right now I dont have any 72 cable hardware. What are your thoughts on this? Thanks

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
I'm using a 73 rear end, and using a foot e-brake & cables from the same year.

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
Got my parts back from the PC. It beats trying to paint aluminum. The fins of the radiator were not done for cooling reasons. He said if it had lead or solder in the radiator he couldn't do it due to the baking temp of 400*.

Doing a little side job. So no work on the 65 right now. I did discover that I don't have the connector that plugs into the back of the tail light housing from the harness. I thought it was hard wired..........I was wrong. I thought about hard wiring it, but not sure yet. Note to self, don't throw anything away until the system is all finished up. ![]() This side job needs a rear end the owner says. It's a 97 K10 with 355K on it. Other than jacking it up and spinning the tires is there a code? If so where would it be? Also what year range does this rearend fit? I will be looking for a used one.

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
About to get the side job finished up.
Yesterday, I tried to get something done. After figuring out the univeral fuel sender and retrieving the small vacumn cleaner nozzle that got stuck in the tank baffle. I discovered that the universal sender bolt pattern doesn't line up with Boyd's flange. That is where it is at now. I think I can oversize the holes a little and get enough adjustment to get the bolts in. Also the bolts that came with the sender is a different thread pitch than what is in the tank. I have to pick up some #10 32 bolts. The float has to go to the front, because it hits the baffle if it points to the side.

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
It's a little over kill and not required. It's been nearly 20 years since I did some safety wire. I had the stuff to do it with so why not. Yeah, I know no one will ever see it except for this pic.
![]() It's not my best, but not to bad.

![]() ![]() It turned out pretty good. i never installed it. That's about the time 198 decided to buy his own shop and do it himself. ![]() The pics are in his build. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...&postcount=955 BTW Ron, I believe you told me before about a product to use on wood to remove water stains. If that is true can you tell me again. I'll do another thread search to seee if I can find it. EDIT: found it,Here Quote:

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
you didn't even give me chance to respond. if you do use the oxalic acid, neutralize it with acetic acid(vinegar) and the rinse with clear water; preferably distilled as a lot of water has iron in it and can stain it with small spots esp oaks

I got the bed wood sanded down today. I also included pic of the fuel filler hose and vent. I need one more plug for the tank and I can cross the fuel system off the list. The filler hose looks like it is slanted awya from the tank, but it's an opticall illusion. It is actually level. I wish it was slanted to the tank. ![]()
