Re: 1972 K10 Disabled Veteran First Build
Hi Ozzy thank you for offering your assistance. I am sure I am going to need it. Anything I should think of or watch out for as I continue to disassemble the truck?

Re: 1972 K10 Disabled Veteran First Build
Just bag all the small bolts nuts and parts and if you clean as you go its easier to evaluate condition and if you need replacement parts .And dont stress have fun with it i loved and still love just seeing how things come apart and why.Taking pictures with a old phone or camera is invaluable for re assembly and these guys love pictures too!Ha ha

It must be a plug-in hybrid.

Re: 1972 K10 Disabled Veteran First Build
It's the plug for a block heater, goes in place of a freeze plug.

Re: 1972 K10 Disabled Veteran First Build
Oh and Semper Fi! If you need parts shoot me a message, I have some laying around, mostly small block parts. Some of them you can have for free just pay shipping.

Re: 1972 K10 Disabled Veteran First Build
A block heater, for those cold lonely nights when you and your truck are alone. Thank you hotroddin for letting me know what it is. I don't think I'm going to plan on putting one on my new engine. Seems like I could install one at a later time if necessary.

Re: 1972 K10 Disabled Veteran First Build
It's no problem, they won't be going anywhere. According to the wife I'm a "hoarder"... I just see it as good stuff I can use later or keep as a back up. Yeah you can install the block heater later if you end up needing it, put it in like a freeze plug.

Re: 1972 K10 Disabled Veteran First Build
You can get patch panels for that
Although they are not cheap ($55) and the quality of some patches is very poor in my experience. Are you going to be using the stock bumper? |

Re: 1972 K10 Disabled Veteran First Build
I'm thinking of trying to make my own bumper for it. Think I could hide it if I did? Or should I try to make it original? Guess I should try to find pictures of what it should look like.

Re: 1972 K10 Disabled Veteran First Build
I wouldn't worry about original unless your planning on doing a correct restoration. I'm sure you could make a nice wrap around bumper that would blend right in. Only thing that matters in the end is what you want to end up with and how much you want to spend.

Re: 1972 K10 Disabled Veteran First Build
Made some more progress. I wish I had done this before so I knew what I was doing. As for right now I close my eyes and start wrenching on the first thing I touch. To any other first timers like myself you are going to need a tool for removing the windshield wiper arm and a pitman arm remover. If any senior builders wouldn't mind taking the time a list of specialty tools needed for disassembly would be really helpful.
