I got my Tow Hitch fitted, after seeing one on a truck in this thread on another Longhorn.
Its a Draw-Tie 41938 and fitted up very well.

Now to do some wiring for brakes and lights.

You did a good tape up job on those emblems. I have a set that I need to do.

Metaldoc · 12-11-2019, 01:10 PM

By using a syringe there's no tapping. Ink refill syringe does the trick quite well.

I need to pick up a few myself. Do you get them from craft stores?

So far, NO rust repair!

Subtle brag? Even if it is, I am jealous. Looking good.

Andy4639 · 12-13-2019, 09:20 PM

I got the passenger side vent window done. The sray made a big difference in the assembly.

**70STOVEBOLT** · 12-14-2019, 12:07 AM

Started staying my tailgate linkage with Rustoleum bright galvanizing compound. I will post pics when they are done

Ptjsk · 12-14-2019, 01:50 AM

Installed fenders and grill!

**Richard** · 12-14-2019, 05:34 AM

Not installed yet, but got a present for my K10

un4gvn! · 12-14-2019, 08:44 AM

I took out the black vinyl and replaced it with dark saddle. I think it goes better with the color of the truck. Golden Ginger

**SoCoC10** · 12-21-2019, 01:03 AM

Final buff then it’s time for upholstery.

67C10Step · 12-21-2019, 06:28 PM

No photos but rear diff cleaned up with pressure washer and setting on jack stands in the shop letting the decades old gear oil out.

Will pull the axles and install new bearings and axle seals. Put it all back together, paint it, and put it back in the truck hopefully while I’m off for the holidays.

**SoCoC10** · 12-23-2019, 11:27 AM

Cluster restoration done.

That gauge cluster looks really nice. Did you replace the clear face or just cleaned it up?

Chevys4life · 12-23-2019, 01:30 PM

Cleaned out my what is left wood bed so that I can put my new bed cover on it to protect my gas tank relocation and recent brake line replacement. Old man winter is knocking on the door!!!!

**zicc1835** · 12-29-2019, 09:58 PM
