Removed front and back glass for Upper cab paint this weekend, new glass to install and new door weatherstrips.
Minimal rust found which is always a plus.

Nothing ... again

67C10Step · 08-24-2019, 03:02 PM

In the process of disassembling the step side bed. Got all the old wood out and the fenders and steps off.

Bed sides probably usable as well as the sills. Bed front and rear cross sill will have to be replaced. Few more bolts and I’ll have it all apart. Will probably jump to cleaning up rear frame and do rear brake and suspension work before tackling stripping the bed for primer.

**Boog** · 08-24-2019, 03:56 PM

I have my step bed nearly as disassembled as yours. I bought a new headboard, cross sills, corner angle strips and floor strips for mine along with all new hardware. My bed sides are in pretty good shape. I hope to blow mine apart before long and get all that done.

67C10Step · 08-24-2019, 05:47 PM

Boog,
Where did you order your bed parts? I’ll need angle strips as well. And all the bed wood and hardware as well but I’d like to get all the metal parts first.

Getting this apart for easy access to the rear frame to do brakes, springs, and all the usual stuff.

CamTra · 08-24-2019, 06:02 PM

Got her off the trailer and started my plans for a build. Made a deal to have a 454 built for her. Started planning my drum to disc swap and in my mind decided to paint her bright red instead of the dark maroon color. Will build her with my 21 year old son, so I'm excited to get started.

I bought my metal from LMC. I haven't bought the wood yet. I'll probably cut my own again.

72c20customcamper · 08-25-2019, 02:46 PM

Finished up the air box .

**BigBird05** · 08-24-2019, 08:12 PM

I started drilling out about a 1,000 spot welds on the donor lower cowl vent. Then I can drill out the one on my truck. Going to replace the rusted cowl.

66clow · 08-26-2019, 09:37 AM

Made a apron bracket, finished making my filler panels(still need to paint them) and cleaned her up.

70-Chevy · 08-26-2019, 10:21 AM

Started putting on the Wilwood disc brake kit on the rear end until I realized I had the wrong Moser axles.....so, I went ahead and put the front bumper on and got a brake pedal assembly coming from SpecialyRetail this week. Going back at it next weekend....

72c20customcamper · 08-26-2019, 07:04 PM

Finished up the passenger door piller

66clow · 08-26-2019, 07:50 PM

Removed the snorkel

c10 71 · 08-26-2019, 08:36 PM

So I carefully cut the frame

OregonNed · 08-30-2019, 08:47 AM

A friend helped me along in my interior project by painting these interior parts for me

weq92f · 08-30-2019, 10:39 AM

.
Built me a custom 6 AWG alternator ground cable. Used Lowes primary wire @$0.93/ft and some terminals I had in my junk drawer. Will ground this sucker to the frame and be done with it!

I ordered new trim for my ramp truck this past week. So I decided to see how hard the trim removal would be. It turned out not being bad at all.

The drivers side was gone and only had the 3 screws to get out. I used my saws all on them and the passenger side they came right off. I even saved the wedges for inside the fender for the new trim. I took the trim piece and straightened it best I could.
I may end up putting the new trim on my daughter's truck and using her old trim on the ramp truck.

Pearly72 · 08-30-2019, 10:07 PM

Got an S10 steering wheel (been looking for a long time!) from a salvage yard for dirt cheap and in great shape. Had an 88-92 Chev steering wheel before and this gives me about 1" more of belly room

I love it. AND, I can see ALL of my gauges without making an effort. SCORE! (yes, I painted the letters and horn logo to match the interior).

I really like the looks of that style wheel. What years did they come in the S10.
