Re: 1969 K10 CST Full Restoration
Don’t make the mistake of placing the LH lower door trim on the RH door and vice versa - it can be done, I know this to be true

Re: 1969 K10 CST Full Restoration
Also, the clips with the double sided tape that hold the lower trim on have a top and bottom.

Re: 1969 K10 CST Full Restoration
Real sunshine for the first time in what seemed like forever. A lot of folks with cabin fever showed up at the first cruise in of the year at The Varsity. It was exciting to show her for the first time...and be outside and dry!

Re: 1969 K10 CST Full Restoration
Thanks guys. It was a lot of fun watching folks come up and read the window sticker. Factory buckets are consistently a source of surprise for those not in our circle.
...And congrats on Truck of the Month Larry! Well deserved.

Re: 1969 K10 CST Full Restoration
Took her out for a spin the other day and snapped a few shots. Posted a couple in the 4x4 section...here are a few detail shots.

Re: 1969 K10 CST Full Restoration
I finally got the A/C charged after a bit of an odyssey a couple of weeks ago. Took it initially several months ago, held a vacuum, but POA valve was stuck (had been rebuilt and plated). Removed POA, rebuilt again, re-plated again, re-installed and finally charged and blowing cold.

Re: 1969 K10 CST Full Restoration
Well...most of her engine run time has been with the gear shift on "P". And she gets wiped down more than a truck should. But you are always kind-thanks.
Hey, here's a fun game I'll call, "What's On The Ground?" ...in the fourth shot (wheel well) below, what's that thing on the ground? '71-'72 only guys are at a disadvantage.

On the ground? It’s an eyeball from the first guy that saw the k10 that day - popped right out in amazement.

Re: 1969 K10 CST Full Restoration
That's cheating. You've got inside knowledge. I should have been more clear about the rules.

Dale...you're a winner in my book for having the courage to play. Eric will suffer the Karma of cheating.

And that rarely goes well.
