Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Expensive way to mask but I have three rolls that were given to me . 3M welding and spark deflection paper . Nice it has a little adhesive to hold it in place

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Mark, it looks like your starter is too far away from the flex plate, if you have a starter shim in there, take it out ........ replace the Bendix as well .

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
No shim ,it’s a Powermaster had a good gab when I installed it a few years ago . Think the damage was before my ownership and it got worse over time . I should have inspected the flex plate more thoroughly.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
I removed the bed wood to refinish it. My bed wood planks are Birch wood. I finished them many moons ago with polyurethane, that has not held up well. I plan on stripping that off and using an oil instead of a surface coating. I also replace the sending unit because the fuel level float floated away on the last one. I used a plastic float instead of the brass one this time around.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Yep, understand. Just so you know for the rear bar I installed you will need to drill (6) holes (at least for a 67-72 c10). Good luck👍

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
I installed a rear bar many years ago on a long bed truck that already had a front bar. The rear bar really made a difference in steering response and how flat the truck stays in corners. I mean, we're not talking Camaro, but it was a major improvement!

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
I re-installed my windshield wiper motor with a new washer pump. Kind of a PITA to get the three bolts started, but it all works great. BTW, Rock Auto had the lowest washer pump price by a large margin.
I used cowl-to-motor and shaft seals from GMC Pauls. They are first rate. And this is a great tool for removing and re-installing the wiper arms. Lisle 65750, Dorman 49023 ![]()

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Threw this together today, it's been a long time coming. The outer has been wall decor the last 7 years. Inner was shot, sanded, shot again and a clear coat, needless to say it's much heavier now. Took longer than I thought of course, nylon clips have to be sanded just right. Anyway, we install it tomorrow. Edit, installed. My assistant, really vise versa

Nothing actually done to the truck, because it's 30 miles away at my dad's shop for now, but parts boxes are arriving

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Thanks, I installed one back in the mid-90's on my 72 C20 that was 7/8" diameter. I been wanting to go to this larger bar. Looks like I will be talking to CPP for sure.
