Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Well, I finally found/bought an original woodgrain cluster bezel. I've had a saved search on eBay that emails me for ages and got a hit a bit ago.
It's coming from Canada and with shipping (which was more than the bezel) is costing $79 USD. It isn't NOS but isn't in horrible shape either. It will match well with the overlay I put on my glovebox door. Also, after all this time looking for one, I have only really seen much worse.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Its not what I did to it as opposed to what I did with it. After being down for 18 months for a whole bunch of changes including a new rebuilt engine I started driving it last year in May and had a few bugs to work out which was done. So this year been driving it for 6/7 weeks now and last night with about 1300 miles on the new engine I drove the truck about 85 miles on the highway to my job, She ran like a champ. Pic is sitting at work last night.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Pulled my 46+ year old headers (unknown brand) and gave a thought of trying to patch them. I decided I would pass and get new ones. They did their time. Now to just wait for them to arrive.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
I just spent 5m trying to figure out how to get the flexplate off so I can mount my motor in the stand.
 Think I better sit down with some cool water and wait for the stupid to go away

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Today I removed my drivers side door and top hinge for rebuild. The door opens and closes just fine, but the door check doesn't work at all. I rebuilt the passenger side hinges in 2017 because you had to lift the door to close it.
On Edit: I want to note that I realized the top plate inside the pillar was floating around and I captured it with a bolt so it didn't drop to the bottom when I removed the factory hinge bolts. I read other posters having that happen and glad to notice it.

Stumbled upon a 67 hubcap at an antique store. Hit it with chrome polish and quad zero steel wool and it came around.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Stripped several coats of old paint off the bed. Clean strip type disc on a buffer worked pretfy well. Will prime and block once the weather decides to cool off

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Wrapped up the installation of a Kicker 10” hideaway under seat subwoofer. The previous owner cut the doors to make way for 2 6x9s in each door, all of which I upgraded recently. Sound on them is ok but not quite full enough so with the addition of the sub, it sounds a lot better. I still prefer that rumble of the MagnaFlows, but having a good sounding stereo is a bonus.
Purchased it from Crutchfield, sales rep Dwayne. Strong recommend if you’re ready to upgrade yours. |

Everybody like to knock their PO for cutting holes in the doors, but I've had my C/10 Stepside since 6/1973, so I'm the guy who wanted a stereo in his truck. But I did go with single 5.5'' speakers because I thought the 6x9s cut away too much steel.
