Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Got a lot done the past two days.
My 50 year old tachometer gave up and so a new aftermarket tach went back in. While everything was apart and accessible I went through my entire dash instrument wiring issues for hopefully the last time. ![]() Cleaning up and organizing all under the dash wiring checklist: Tachometer and all the following working as they should: Glove box light, Courtesy lights, Cigarette Lighter w/light, Wipers with Intermittent, Heater fan 3 speeds, LED dash/heater control lights and fixed a broken wire to the PRND321 column light. Whew! ![]() ![]()

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
I put one of those on my C10 in 2017. Very happy with it but one suggestion paint the cast master cylinder before install. It dont take long for them to look like crap.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
I aways put a couple of coats of either clear or the cast blast . Cast iron will rust up quickly . I did the same on my 68 most likely a mistake since the truck has patina

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Took a very short cruise in the evening after getting the rear end project done. Still need to drive it a bit more, wash all the summer dust off from the last car show, and retorque bolts.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Really good - I am pretty happy with it.. seems firmer and a little "bouncier" - very minor - but its quite a change from the extra heavy duty spring that were back there before..

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Another beautiful day in the PNW.
I ran some errands today and I had to go to a carburetor specialty shop to get some 3/16” vacuum line for my HEI to manifold vacuum advance. NAPA and all the auto box stores don’t seem to carry it anymore. ![]() Back home I decided to take a short drive with the C10 and noticed a new ticking noise. Rams horn exhaust manifold leak? Yep! Went to retighten the bolts when the forward passenger bolt fell off onto my hand. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() It turns out the restoration shop from “Hell” that I divorced from ![]() Perfect. No one will ever notice ![]() 1 step forward, 2 steps back. It’s gonna be alright, a new day tomorrow ![]() ![]()

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Sorry for all of the pics, but I washed mine last night and back in the garage before the Northwest rains begin. It looks as though my trim should be easy to reinstall looking at how lined up both sides are. A future project.
