LH door latch mech, chrome door lock knobs, vent window repair kit,(already have all my rubber seals) ignition bezel, lower door carpet, sun visors, dash knob bezels, turn signal lever, ash tray/glove box bumpers, glove box insert, lower steering column bearing. I think I have an Ice Machine sold ! as soon as that deal is sealed, I can get my 5 lug axles, brake drums, master cyl. prop valve, power steering pump/brackets/hoses. after all that I'll only need a windshield, stereo, and maybe some wheels down the road.

Re: 68' Chevy c10
Exciting! You'll have to share your vent window adventure. I pulled mine from the doors and stashed them away. The rubber kit I got from GMC Pauls comes with new rubber bits, but I haven't looked any further into it or ordered the repair kit. Not sure If I need it???

Re: 68' Chevy c10
John you might save some coin if you get the rear axles, drums, backing plates and brakes from a 71 or 72 that is what I did on my 70. The only thing I bought new was the shoes, spring kit and new axel bearings just so there wasn't any failure later down the road

Re: 68' Chevy c10
Thanks Man! Looking at your sig, you've got a few irons in the fire ! I read thru the Havoc build up to the part where they said you cant drive it. what a load of BS ! Hope you can get that turned around.

Re: 68' Chevy c10
Ordered my repair kit and am going today to grab a little more paint. If I can get the mess cleaned up, I'll tear down my vent windows tonight. We can do this and make it easier for the next guy!

Re: 68' Chevy c10
have the new rubbers for my vents they came with the truck but when I stripped the 72 they were a PIA to get out I don't want to think about it.

Re: 68' Chevy c10
So the little black rubber thing..... Best I can tell its one of them sealing boots for a bat type toggle switch???? No idea. More hints!
What else did you get? What's the carpeted piece? There's sumthin else in a blue and white baggie there on the left.

As for the black thing I can say it's 10 times bigger than a toggle switch boot. I have to take one of my dogs to the vet this morning. his paw is real swollen around his claw. when I get back it's back to fitting the clock, and cutting tach hole. then I can get the tin painted, also the clock hands.
