My next plan is to get the front disc brake and drop spindle upgrade installed. I have evrything but the brake hardline kit. Then I want to focus on the sealing up the floor and putting down some sound deadener and carpet. Next will be to change out the windshield and see if there is any rust damage at the bottom window channel

Got a really nice set of "CST" original badges so I thinking of leaving the patina look are masking and painting the black area again. What do you think?

Hey Shawn, just curious. So this is as opposed to going with fresh repops? If so, and you're deciding to keep the patina look of the truck, why not leave the original emblems in the current condition? Ya know, "overall patina look".

C10_ustacould · 02-22-2013, 06:52 PM

Patina

Well guys I did give it some thought on the patina. I decided to just touch up the black cause it was so faded that the emblems looked almost totally chrome and I wanted some contrast. And the patina will only be temporary for another year or two

shawno72 · 02-22-2013, 08:24 PM

So here is what I did, I really like how they turned out and know I have some oe badges instead of the repops.

The details are why makes it fun, plus its the details that set these trucks apart. Its also the cheaper part of the build, for me

That's just one more reason to have a patina truck

You might say I'm so efficient that I don't even let overspray go to waste

Thanks guys, I was surprised they turned out as well as they did

**72ironmike** · 02-22-2013, 10:01 PM

Emblems came out looking good Shawn !

shawno72 · 02-22-2013, 10:23 PM

Thanks Mike, I have been trying to find a nice non pitted set for over a year. Then last month for my birthday my wife bough me a set of repops then you listed these and I'm glad I was at the right place at the right time. Just can't beat the quality of the the originals and you would never know until you compare them to some repops.

Well my 40+ year old speedo cable took a dump this morning on the way to work. Luckily I was able to order one from Autozone for 10.99. Can't beat that price. Pics to follow soon

shawno72 · 02-23-2013, 04:01 PM

I didn't take any pics but the new speedo cable is in and its amazing at how much quiter the new cable is. Didn't even realize the old one was making that much noise

NewType72 · 02-25-2013, 04:26 AM

Original is deft better what I've had issues with so far are that my year old repop marker light bezels keep popping off when I have true 40+ year old ones still holding strong
