Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Looks b!tchen.
I've wanted to get a #5 pool ball in solid Orange for a shift knob on the 4-speed SM465 in my Orange '68 C/10 Stepside... I'm just afraid someone might think it's got a 5-speed if I did.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Thanks . Truck got a lot of attention guess because you don’t see many super low optioned trucks restored . Must have been at least 50 people commenting that they liked I kept it a I6 .

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
I had some epoxy paint left over from making a batch of dummy filler necks, so I painted my parking brake handle and cover, and I painted the steering column support bracket and clamp.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Started to put the 50 cal ammo box back on that was on the truck when I bought it . But decided they were to far gone they are dated 1964 second picture is the inside of the lid . So I bought a new one . Going to paint it tomorrow not sure if I should go satin black or body color . Guess I’ll just need to epoxy prime it and decide then .
I plan on adding either grip tape or texture paint so I can stand on the lid to get into the bed

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Had some fun removing the factory upper ball joints and then was trying to decide if I could get one more turn out of this ol' rotor...
Just kidding, it's already about .200 under ... ![]()

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
The black epoxy prime was way to loud . I started to fix the spare tire mount it’s a 3/4 ton mount but sometime in a former life it was modified to a 1/2 ton they changed the tire mounting plate to mount a 6 lug rim. Not a big deal I just need to make a new plate with new studs

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Color and shine are quite nice!
My truck is running rough again; guess I'll have to look into the throttle bores. Last time it acted like this the needle was etched, allowing fuel by. I bought a local kit instead of a Cliff Ruggles kit this time. His kit did the same thing, but it took a whole lot longer than about 9 months. I'll check it first, of course, and if I need a kit, I'll get one of his again, but with an extra float bowl gasket and needle & seat so that I'm ready for the inevitable. Now, if the shop ghost doesn't abscond with those parts before I need them...

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Spent the day pulling, stretching and cussing while pulling the covers onto the frames for my buckets. Neither my grandfather or I are upholsterer, but we are happy with the results. The former high back frames did pretty good turning into low backs.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Ill have those pics soon. I have to cut and buff the lower panel below the rear glass today, didnt even think about that panel after paint since the bench covered it. Now that its more exposed gonna get it looking a little better before putting the seats in.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Oh you meant the camaro, lol. I have not had my morning coffee to wake up. The car behind the seats is my 68 Camaro. My first car and the car I "copied" when I built the C10 to make them 68 "twins"

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Job I was putting off . The hood ,basically the hood is really nice except for two dents right on the leading edge . Studied it for a long time and decided the best plan of attack would be to remove the inner brace . Thought it was going to be nightmare but it came off relatively easy. Was able to work the dents out with a hammer and dolly.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Well I was gonna pack my wheel bearings but instead I threw my wife’s bike and my bike in the back of the truck and drove the 68 to a beautiful spot with a 10 mile bicycle loop along the water here in South Fl. Then threw the bikes in the back and came home. So I drove the truck only and didn’t get any bearings packed! But had a great time doing it👍
