Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
The saddle fawn poly that’s on my stepper is a little lighter and has more metallic than the anniversary gold .

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Attended the C10 Truck Show in Enumclaw, WA. 200+ C/K-10's from all around the PNW. Found my "taller twin". The red/white '72 took best 67-72. I'm pretty certain this truck has every conceivable option and all items are original, though not factory on this truck.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Took some turpentine and paper towels to the engine to get a bit of the oily guck off of it. I'll get it a bit at a time. Not big on pressure washing, and the caustic cleaners have only the storm drains to go to, so that's out.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Cleaned and painted a set of under-seat brackets for the jack handle and lug wrench. These are for buddy bucket seats. The passenger seat doesn't slide forward, which makes it difficult to access the cab corner stowage locaton.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
There is a swap meet and car show about 1.5 hours west of me and plan on taking my truck up this year. Not to be in the show, of course, but will be its first trip over an hour in one direction. SO, I had a short list on the white board in my shop (yes, I have a white board where I keep lists of things to do) to run down before the trip. Since I will be out of pocket this weekend and in Iowa the entire week following I knocked the list out over the weekend.
Checked front wheel bearings. Checked tire air pressure. Greased front end and drive shaft. Checked gear oil in transmission and rear differential. Checked lug nut torque. Checked brake fluid. Checked coolant level. Changed oil and filter.

I took off the under/bed spare carrier off a few years ago to mount a Class III hitch. I will need longer threaded rods to mount the 235/85/R16s I'm running now. If the carrier clamps too tight, it will spill the air at the bead seal, and you find you've been carrying a flat spare since forever.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
I got the drivers side bearings and brake shoes done . I put the races in the chest freezer overnight a couple of light taps and they were seated it’s the only way to go. Specially with the big inner bearing race everything went together nicely no profanity involved . The passenger side is tomorrow I checked the fluid and there are no metal shavings so the bearing that was on its way out didn’t contaminate anything . Verified it’s a 4.10 and it was made 8-28-71 so it’s most likely original .

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Looks nice, Pat.
Personally, I prefer the cruciform type for better leverage and a two-handed grip, and you can spin the nut once it's loose, and spin it on. But I see where you're going with your Stepside -- back in time.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
pj, nice and thanks for the photo. I still have all mine from my 67, just have not re-installed and I didn't take a good photo when I pulled it all out. This should help a bunch.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
So that’s what those brackets are for . I’ve been scratching my head as to what they did

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Got the 72 back together and was doing a check on the drivetrain and found a bad ujoint at the pinion. I had checked the ujoints for slop but I got no movement but visually you could see they were shot , I had changed them all 4 years ago when I did the carrier bearing with inexpensive ones from autozone won’t be doing that again , when I the shaft off the ujoint just fell apart . Guess I found the vibration . Going to do all four

Well at least I averted a problem with the bad wheel bearing . I’ll feel better now when the wife is driving the truck .
